"The only way to solve this incredible number of parts that we are behind schedule in as a country if to empower the small business supply base to run on all cylinders."
If you're in the VC + PE world

@c0nst I don't deny that this exist is some places. But my Instincts tells me we have this love affair for the nostalgia of these "old" machines. Same way we think we need old people to save tribal knowledge.
@c0nst This is happening everywhere. People just aren't talking about it. They are afraid they will lose support from the OEM or software masters. But when you get them to the side they are incredibly proud of what they did and want to share with the right crowd.
@MFG_SMB This can be done. But you need the best people ever. And you don't pay them 200K you pay them 120K plus phantom stock. You have to set them each up like individual contractors. 500K is very high. But 400 is achievable. They each need all thier own machines and tooling.
