I began my career in chip-making in San Jose in 1967.
Another book you should read is Witness by Whittaker Chambers.
(Nothing to do with Ayn Rand)
I’d like to know where devotees of Ayn Rand hold sway. I can’t think of any.
I too was a big fan of both books, but the following review got me rethinking my fling with Ayn...
Could have fooled me.
I read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged during summers in college. Had a profound effect on me. Amazing reads.
When we were at Epcot, found this on the wall of the American Exhibit, "The American Adventure.":
Another Ayn Rand quote:
I've always had this vision of someone like Trump running for President. Someone like Hank Reardon or Howard Roark. Then I would lapse in despair thinking they would never run for office. Then I would rebound and say, "But if someone is going to really make change in our Federal government, really confront the fraud, waste, abuse and the administrative state, it would have to be someone like Reardon or Roark." Voila', here we are. .
The takers, elites and administrative state will do everything in their power to fight him, as we are witnessing daily.
President Trump needs our daily support and prayers. Fight on!
