My Grandfather graduated from Indiana University and moved to Schenectady, NY and worked in the accounting department for GE. He would've been there about the same time as Jack Welch. Eventually he ended up in Detroit where he met my Grandmother and raised the family. Growing up everything was GE in the Anglin homes, including mine. We had GE TV's, light fixtures, tape recorders, VCR's, jam boxes, humidifiers, de-humidifiers, ac's, light bulbs, Christmas tree lights, etc etc etc. It was the rule. It was like the time I bought a 6 pack of Michelob to my father in laws house in Golden, CO and he dumped it in the weeds while he called me everything you can imagine....yes he worked there, if we had something from a GE competitor it got shitcanned.
When Jeffrey Immelt took over at GE we watched him run NBC into the ground with their decidedly left leaning politics raging in the newsroom. Keith Olberman ring a bell? Yet, he continued to defy the "intel" and rub his left-wing, liberal, secular progressive concepts into his company and their the companies held by GE. Look where it got them.... But alas, look where it got Jeffrey, a great gig at the White House with his buddy Barry.
My Grandfather was not alive to witness this thankfully...it would have been one helluva garage sale as he sold off everything he owned.
