Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.

Actually, the US has became a consumer and services based economy. So, it changed. More data centers, fewer machine shops. Which is fine. Except for some strategic stuff like chips and weapons. ...
