My father, in the final year of his life, was starting to go a bit. He was one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met and he was extremely successful in his industry of mechanical engineering. The man understood business.
He talked about the fall of GE and how surprising it was (kinda like Boeing). It was a little bit interesting, but I excused myself cause I could see that his wandering mind was wandering. My brother stayed with him. I was in from far away and it was my only opportunity to see a very dear friend.
I wonder what my father would have said about this in his more lucid times. It probably would have been an interesting conversation.
