You'll find the word "hack" serves no real purpose when you're put into administration. Detroit's problems are related mainly to old union agreements and oil prices, as well as scewed demand curves related to mpg requirements that didn't apply to light trucks and artificially low interest rates. Using the word "hack" 200 times in an article just obscures a subject.
Good article, but seems to lack any concrete substance. It seems to imply that "Hacking" stands for everything that's good and modern.<p>Now, I'm all for good and modern, but it doesn't have to be labeled "hacking" to be so.
