Dept of commerce was surveying my company. I was cooperative. Monthly call. K, big deal. Then they went political. That poor SOB that I got to the point of crying at the end of his last call where I told him where to put his head physically because metaphorically it was about to burst out of his mouth. DOC had just put out false DJT info. Last time I got the for info call from them. Less overhead.
