    There was a t-shirt back in the day with the mini-gun on it, the GE logo underneath, and in a circle around it, the logo “We bring good things to life”

    GE no longer makes appliances. It’s a licensed out name now.

    I figure their star finally fell when they stopped making locomotives. What kind of giant industrial conglomerate does that?! EveN Hitachi, a brand mostly known for marital aids, makes locomotives!

      GE, the conglomerate, no longer exists. They sold off most of the divisions and spun off the three remaining into their own business. GE Aerospace is the “corporate successor” but as of 2024, the old General Electric is no more.

    Inside you are two wolves. One is a cheap TV licensed to use your trademark. The other is nuclear weapons.

    You are Westinghouse.
