Wait until you guys find out Obama assisted in GE getting bought out by the Chinese, but they aren't changing their name until next year as per the directive. GE name is gone, the company is no longer an American company and hasn't been for a while.
GE sold out a long time ago. They started importing things from Mexico when I worked there in the 90s...microwave ovens were made completely by Japanese or Korean manufacturers, they packed them in GE boxes in the origin country. Some woman named Vivian Jacoby was in charge when I was there, she was a doofus that already damaged Plastics beyond repair.
Haier of China bought the GE appliance division. The deal assumed the right to use the GE name for at least 40 years on appliances, but they're not required to.
