Exactly. If Chrysler didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all:
1 - Bought out by MB. Excuse me, they touted that as a "Merger of equals" all over the Detroit media. Yeah, red-headed stepchildren get treated better than Chrysler did under MB. The folks in Auburn Hills had the German version of cooties in the eyes of their masters in Stuttgart.
2 - Bought by a private capital firm and completely disemboweled of engineering talent and product pipeline to try to flip the purchase. The goal was to sell the brand names to a foreign automaker looking to have an instant U.S. dealer network and brand recognition.
3 - "Bailed out" by the U.S. government at the behest of the UAW and midwest Democratic politicians.
4 - Bought by the perpetually mismanaged Fiat, who gets the assistance of rigged bankruptcy court proceedings to further hack up the company and steal what little was left of Chrysler with no investment on their part. Fiat management then expresses shock, yes shock, when they arrive in Auburn Hills and discover that there are no engineers left who know how to put an engine in a car.
At least train wrecks happen quickly. I suspect this one is going to limp along for some time, showing some glimmers of hope (like the new Ram), before expiring.

Benz took the money and left them for dead.
