So is George Bush…
Anyway, I don’t know how everyone got into this, but I never meant that business-people are less good at what they do than engineers.
I just think they’re dishonest by definition and make engineering suck. Best example being the Concord supersonic transport, something so beautiful and revolutionary that speaks to the greatness that humanity has achieved is no longer in operation due to it being un-profitable. We as a species took a step backward in history to save a few bucks.
Then there’s companies that don’t follow the bottom line and make awesome things, like the Bugatti Veyron, which costs way more to make than what they’re selling them for. They’re losing money to push the boundaries of automotive technology and make history.
