Widget makers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and even Mexico. How did it all go wrong when initially it all seemed so sane? Could it be the attitude that came with the competition with other ideologies, our system is better than yours, that's to blame?

I'm not sure what would be harder to explain to the kids at work a) why did Jack not whip out his Visa and buy one? b) What is a fountain pen? c) Why did it cost so much.

I'm going to take it to work to share with a lot of other manufacturing engineers (we work for Ford, not GM, but it's close enough) -- I know they'll get as much of a kick out of it as I did. If only our factory was that clean!!! GM and Jam Handy made a lot of films together, but this is one of the most amusing that I've seen :) This was a great video, thank you!
