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”

I enjoy a critic that goes against the norm. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I don’t like long winded, flowery novels myself either. Sparks notes it is!
Also, the irony of how I had a longer reply about the importance or editing and omitting when writing, and I just deleted it to make a more concise response!
