Engineers, Health Thyselves (and Healthcare)
The article I can’t get out of my head is one by Greg Ip in The Wall Street Journal: Crises at Boeing and Intel Area National Emergency.
I’m old enough that I remember when the Boeing 707 took airline passenger travel from the prop age to the jet age. I’m old enough that I remember that we all wanted PCs with Intel chips when companies starting giving office workers their first PCs. I’ve read enough history to know the storied engineering background and achievements of both. I mean, those B-52s that have been the backbone of the U.S. Air Force bomber command for the past 70+ years: those are Boeing planes.
To younger people, though, Being is the company whose doors pop out mid-flight, or which abandons astronauts in space. When they think of Intel — oh, I’m just kidding; when younger people think about chip companies, it’s NVIDIA or TSMC. Intel’s stock is doing so badly it may get kicked out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
