Anyone read Atlas Shrugged? It’s a fantastic book that very much mirrors what we see today with business and Washington. My husband is a Project Manager with a construction company and was asked today by another PM if he was having supply issues with concrete. He hasn’t so far but the other PM said the lead time was long and the supplier said it is supply chain issues. He says there is major supply chain issues everywhere! The sand comes from China so with Covid apparently it has disrupted the supply chain. In Atlas Shrugged Copper is a big one, the book is huge and I can’t go into the whole novel and do any sort of justice. My husband made the comment to the other guys “it’s like we are living the end of Atlas Shrugged”. None had read it but I know others have mentioned the book here before. So throughout the book when something bad happens or something unexplainable people will say “who is John Galt?”. Through most of the book John Galt is unknown but essentially the hero. I feel more and more that we truly are living Atlas Shrugged, just a movie version. The movement of John Galt is in essence to destroy the corrupt system. We have our unknown “hero” pulling the strings. So I say “who is Q”

Watched the movie. Great insight into what living in a socialist world would be like. No wonder John Galt buggered off and formed his own society.
The movie was only the first part and they never continued but I thought the movie was ok. At least I don’t remember them finishing the story. It’s been a long time since I watched it.
They sorta finished the movie of it, It's 3 movies, and last i saw of it you could watch all 3 for free. But even with 3 movies it doesn't compare with the book. I read it about 10 or 15 years ago I couldn't put it down, but it does drag on in too many places.
Yes I think you are correct. Been a while since I watched it. I'll check it out as there may have been a mini series as well. Still pretty easy to work out the plot though.
Oh I’ll have to look into that, I would be interested in watching a mini series!
