Yeah, I guess the driver had no choice when it came to brand or quality. Those crummy tires just put themselves on the car in the dead of night - while the driver was asleep. Poor guy. Probably had a union guy choose the tires for him. Certainly wasn't one of the procurement managers or directors who made that choice or squeezed the last cent out of a supplier to help the stock ride a little higher just before quarterly dividends.
Naw, the free market would never let that kind of thing happen.
Poor old board of directors and managers just cruizin' to their year end bonus when some freakin' union guy picked the wrong tires and negotiated another bad vendor contract again. Then there's the damn engineers with their constant whining about grade 8 bolts....
There's enough stupidity and greed for blame to be evenly handed out....
