    This video explains how a toxic corporate culture of the leadership only wanting and demanding only good news from his workers get lied to and leads to destruction.

    Eg, Hitler; Putin.

    Another response with the "kill the messenger disease."

    The video does not automatically equate to my own opinion or findings.

    The sky did fall in history many times.

    The last one was the COVID 19 pandemic.

    The current developing one is the king's self created Iran War crisis.

    I didn't watch the video, but I do think that VW went down the tubes by lowering their reliability while increase the price of their cars.

    It used to be that if you wanted a good quality car that didn't break the bank you bought a VW. Now you buy a Toyota or Honda, although the general economy means that some of us can no longer afford even the cheapest of the Toyotas or Hondas. It's weird how economics work.

    Yeah, there's a need for basic, inexpensive and easy to maintain transportation.

    Ferdinand Porsche did that with the original design of the Kraft durch Freude Wagen designed for Hitler, who saw it as he much admired Henry Ford and his Model T.

    After the war, it was the British who supported the original Wolfsburg plant that renamed the KDF Wagen as the Beetle.

    How Volkswagen has swayed away from its roots.
