Thank you for telling us about the Kohler plant. I’m going to have to look into it.
It’s probably really banal for me to say this, and I don’t know recent American history as well as I should, but the firing of Gerald Walpin seemed violent to me. Also, coercing the GM CEO to step down was pure Chicago thuggery, such as I know it.
Run a search on "Florida East Coast strike" in the early Sixties, and you'll read about trains being blown off the tracks by union members, with their bosses piously blaming the railroad for the violence.
Guilty also, I do not know enough recent history. Wilson was a hero in my American history class, he created the league of nations, but, those evil isolationists stopped his good work. You cannot find anything on Wilson’s bigoted thugocracy except for Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascists.” Rand, living through Wilson could have picked up much of Atlas from Wilson, not discounting Roosevelt.
I am going to guess the start of recent history begins with socialism, trace that and you see where we are headed. Twentieth century socialism’s forms of Fascism, Nazism and Soviet Communism failed, proving that we just did not do socialism right, so now we will get it right with ZerOism.
