I’m pretty sure he never expected the country to go “full stupid” in 1987. I never would have imagined it either.
I didn’t think so in 1987. I was a software engineer at a Fortune 150 American manufacturing company. That company no longer exists. I exited in 1990 to start my own business after living in a bureaucratic, inefficient and ineffective environment for three years. Looking back on that, it’s nothing compared to today. That was a great company compared to what we have today. Where are the American companies that build something tangible today without government subsidies and regulatory regimes that punish competitors?
