[QUOTE="Dave_In_Philly, post: 548932, member: 1907"] Actually read it a few months ago, but it's aptly appropriate to our current situation. Arthur Herman's Freedoms Forge, about how US industry ramped up during WWII. [IMG]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-rNsrXA4L.SX150.jpg[/IMG] My favorite anecdote is from a VP of a prominent New York bank who had volunteered for an open position in the government only to hear nothing for several months. Then his boss, who did not know the VP had actually apied for the role, was speaking with another member of the government who was complaining that he couldn't fill this very same position. The boss recommend the VP, and he got the job. After having been in the position for nearly a year he received a letter thanking him for his interest but telling him that he did not get the position. All this was funny enough, but the fact that the letter was actually signed by himself speaks volumes about American bureaucracy. [/QUOTE]
