Every company in the entire world should move its corporate headquarters to The Caymans.

That would solve everything.

What happened to the Twentieth Century Motor Company, Dagney, where did it go?

Why did it go, Hank?

If ol' Atlas is so shortsighted to think the grass is greener on the other side, we're better off if he takes his moving and shaking and search for slave labor elsewhere.

With all our ills, we're still the greatest and most free country in the world.

I don't put much stock in the pretentious fiction of a "philosopher" whose worldview was based on the "virtue of selfishness". Surely we can find a better argument for free markets than from that woman.

She was incorrect in one important area. She assumed the final option for the wealthy and entrepreneurial class was to go on "strike" and retire to Galt's Gulch. In the modern world the movers and shakers don't strike, they migrate.

Dumb observation. This is fiction writing and can not be judged "incorrect." Absurd.

It has been some years since reading Rand but I believe that she was against any religion or followers who blindly followed without thinking. It wasn’t so much religion per say but the blindly following she objected to. Since her philosophy was based on what is best for self it makes sense, like it’s OK to believe in a higher power but if you give up your worldly possessions or strap on a suicide belt it is wrong to self.

This is a ping list for those who've decided to stop feeding the beast. Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Atlas Shrugged Ping list.

I really wish otherwise patriotic Americans would stop defending globalist scum who are destroying America.

There is no Galt.

He sold everything to Wang, who now owns the factory.

Time for a new idea direction.

AMERICA FIRST.

The level of corruption in the Caymans would shock Rahm Emanuel.
