“An “economic sanction” is defined as a withholding of economic rewards (in this case, revenue) from those (in this case, GM) who refuse to emit desired production activity (in this case, bringing Pontiac back into production).”
Call it a sanction all you like. Pontiac is not something that the masses want, especally when you’ve tried to frame GM as an organization “who refuse to emit desired production activity”.
Pontiac, in today’s world, simply isn’t desirable, and any kind of consumer reaction for Pontiac is far, far, far too small to impact GM and it’s day to day affairs. If calling it an “economic sanction” makes you feel better, fine, but it’s hardly making a dent in GM’s balance sheet.
To me, the way you’ve tried to pitch “economic sanction” is like still being angry at Coke for killing ‘New Coke’ and demanding new Coke to return lest a minority of buyers stop buying from Coke…..when millions upon millions of people have given up their money for Coke classic.
Blutly, you’re a minority consumer. Why should GM care about you and your small, costly demands?
