It's like every company that wasn't complete shit just suddenly decided to...go to complete shit.
They don't -- that's a cargo-cult misunderstanding of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co -- but it's so widely believed I guess it might as well be true.
Dude, Brother is not even an US company - like most big printer companies it's Japanese and traded at the Tokyo stock exchange.
