Imagine wasting that much money on a pet project and not only do you keep your job but you get a bigger bonus than ever. I literally cannot imagine this even though it's exactly what these execs get. The privilege of fucking up repeatedly with zero consequences.

Also, "we can bring back that ugly-fuck car from the 1970s whose gas tank you gotta fill up every 1,362 feet" is not a sales pitch.
