America’s Worst Company: Who Is #1?

By Brad Tuttle | @bradrtuttle | March 17, 2010 | +

Thus far in an online survey, AT&T, Best Buy, and Bank of America seem to be the early leaders.

The Consumerist is tallying the votes and collecting comments to see which corporate catastrophe will be anointed as successor to AIG, the previous winner of the dubious title of Worst Company in America.

    As Gas Prices Go, So Go Prices for Used Cars

    What do prices at the pump have to do with prices at the used car lot? They actually tend to mimic each other. Higher gas prices tend to cause drivers to want to spend less out of pocket on their automobiles. That means rising demand, as well as rising prices, for used cars—fuel-efficient used cars especially. Used car prices spiked last summer as gas prices soared, and then spiked again earlier this year as the national average neared $4 a gallon. Now that gas prices are retreating, relief is also in sight for consumers in the market for used cars.

    What’s the Point of High-Powered ‘Green’ Sports Cars?

    The best argument for going green is that it’ll help conserve natural resources and money at the same time. The new breed of “green” supercars led by Ferrari and Porsche doesn’t really do either.

    Hands down, it’s Bank of America.
    I honestly have such a stupid company can keep itself going.

    I’ll put my vote in for our very own United States of America Government. While it’s not exactly in the catagory of “companies”… it is surely the largest “publicly” held enterprise in the world. It’s also the most mismanaged, self-serving and wasteful enterprise on the planet. It NEVER listens to its stockholders. It tries to bribe off every potential customer with dangled goodies that ALWAYS have hidden strings attached. It NEVER keeps its contract, nor its word. And… wait for it… it slaps us on the back and tells us that it is acting for our own good… for our own welfare… for our own protection… AND for the best interest of we, the stockholders. Kinda ironic, ain’t it? (Perhaps I should say “moronic”). So, let’s give it up (literally) for our very own USA.GOV.GOV.GOV.AD.NAUSEUM.
