"Americans won't adjust to it, Tobias."

I used to think that. I don't any more.

The senior secured bond holders of both Chrysler and General Motors have adjusted. Anybody who buys a GM or Chrysler product going forward will be ratifying this behavior, no matter how good a deal or product. A great cry of "Oh well, what can I do? At least I got a bargain." will rise up from the land.

Just you wait, Henry Higgins, just you wait.

Edit: When the iron curtain fell and Russian immigrants started showing up here I was very curious having read a lot of great Russian literature. Would they exhibit some depth of soul or insight into the human condition as a result of their ordeal? Some special flame that they had kept alive to survive all those years?

Nope.
