@benedictevans Widely debunked already, zero named sources, family who was present already denied and asked story to be taken down. Irresponsible to even share. Same author lied incessantly about WMDs in lead up to Iraq war. Getting the engagement he wants here by lying again.
Don't understand how "protecting/hiding" our companies from the global competitive reality helps America "lead." In contrast, it will make our companies weaker by limiting their fitness. It will also drive further inflation.
