Laws

That’s what laws are for, Mr. Reardon. If the right people don’t break them, they are of no use whatsoever.

My recent quotes of Atlas Shrugged made me rewatch the trilogy. Part II was the best of the three.

It’s a fine balance we have. You depend on my coal for power, and to fill your hoppers. Hank uses my coal to make his steel. We use his steel to shore up my mines and to lay your rail. It’s perfect. Natural. Trading value for value.

The Hank Reardon in this episode was cast perfectly.

I honestly feel like going John Galt more and more often lately. My target for full retirement is 2030. Some days, I don’t know if I will make it.

Trump needs to nationalize our oil! We’ve got the oil, the refineries.
But we are still in the world markets. The oil goes to whomever will pay the most.
Meanwhile the farmers, truckers, 9-5’ers, get screwed!
MAGA is just a joke. I feel so duped!
