How It’s Made – Candy Canes
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

The How It’s Made series is always interesting with items from the commonplace to the rather exotic. I highly recommend the series, particularly if you have some young folks around – you can never tell what might spark a career in Industial Engineering
Love this show. Sometimes how they make the most mundane thing are so fascinating, whereas often making the really cool stuff is actually kind of boring. For example: How an F-16 is made…..yawn. Then watching how aluminum foil is made and I’m absolutely glued to the TV!
“Master Hands” 1936.
Five years later they were “The Arsenal of Democracy”.

“The head of US Steel understands raw-materials, the head of Sears Roebuck understands logistics, and the head of General Motors understands mass-production”
Before we pat oueselves on the back, remember the world has changed since then
US Steel no longer exists
Sears is hanging on by its fingernails
GM is only alive by government bailouts because it was “too big to fail”
Col B,
Correction: GM did fail, it went bankrupt.
Anyone who bought shares in it’s golden years was wiped out.
