An affliction that takes hold when a company (usually automotive) becomes too large and believes that they are too big to fail or lose customer base. Goes hand-in-hand with a bloated sense of self-worth, an out-of-touch management and disregard of serious problems and/or customer input.
Stems from the early 1970s when General Motors lost touch with the American consumer. In the belief they could not fall from grace, they continued to produce large, gas-guzzling cars that people didn't want. This allowed Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota to come in and grab a large share of the Baby Boomers.

Person 2: "That's a shame. They used to make such great cars."

Get the Scarlet Syndromemug. Similar to Asperger's Syndrome (which is a developmental syndrome on the Autism Spectrum categorized by social difficulties, difficulties picking up on subtle social cues, expressing empathy, and typically having a special interest area). Manberger's applies to men who exhibit many of the symptoms of Asperger's, but do not actually fall on the Asperger's Spectrum. These men are often employed in fields like engineering and computer science, and cause many women eternal frustration.
Manberger's Syndrome symptoms include (but are not limited to): inability to understand how to comfort someone emotionally rather than just offering asinine "solutions" problems, difficulties expressing emotion other than anger, frustration, and neutral, difficulties expressing empathy, difficulties behaving considerately toward others, and obliviousness to the rich social and emotional subtleties and relational connections going on around them. These men might suggest that a woman marry them just for the health insurance (because obviously getting married is about nothing more than this) or say something like "It didn't occur to me to consider how you might feel if I ate all your leftovers."

Get the Ben-Syndromemug. One in five people suffers from Sus Syndrome, which affects the mental state of the person and forces them to see the Crewmate from Among us everywhere they go. This will eventually kill the affected person by making them manufacture a boulder size pair of metal balls, which are called sussy balls, and will proceed to let the balls fall on them while saying the phrase "You're such a sussy baka".
Dude, I think that guy has Sus Syndrome.
