This fellow at 23:00 stumbles on the key of “profit sharing” and Dr Demmings notion that the people on the floor know more than the aholes in the boardroom.

Bethlehem Steel was the worst. Held on to inefficient outdated open hearth furnaces, and one of the last to implement continuous casting technology.

Well, we bought their titanium through middlemen so we could build the Blackbird.

The Alfa classes and others were noisy due to their machinery and propellers. That got fixed no thanks to Toshiba and that Norwegian company.

Uh I think not. The congress had the northwest territory surveyed in the 1700s. They sold off lands as territories were added. Those funds financed a lot of the federal budget including paying most of the debt from the revolutionary war. When Arizona and NM became states in 1912, that was almost the end of selling federal land for settlers. So that income stream dried up.

They could make a trillion or so now by selling land and apply it to the debt, but they won’t.
