""They looked like a bunch of high school kids to me. A bunch of Wall Street preppies," says Jim Linson, an electronics repairman who worked at the plant for 40 years. "They came in, they were in awe."

Not in support of Romney but just to comment on this sort of observation. There are all kinds of jobs and I wonder how the average steelmill worker would fare on a wall street trading floor or in a backroom with a few hundred excel spreadsheets to analyze. The great white shark is a pretty tough predator; drop him in Death Valley and the worms will feast. Tough and capable is usually a matter of where

Louis: [approaching the New York Commodities Exchange] Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That’s the other guy’s problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series - they don’t know what pressure is. In this building, it’s either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One minute you’re up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don’t go to college and they’ve repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?

Billy Ray: Yeah, we got to kill the motherf... - we got to kill ‘em!
