You need to believe the country. No, but apparently you can't have both. They don't allow it. They're like, fuck you. We're not a side dish. You can't have both. Yeah.

Right, Bethlehem Steel. Yeah. So my parents come back there because my dad was a metallurgist. Oh, this is fascinating.

Yeah, well, physics was what he could teach as a, he was an engineering undergrad. So then he went back and he actually got his PhD at Ohio State. And then we moved to Bethlehem. Bethlehem was known for where the time and motion studies were done. There's a whole history of scientific management. You know about this, Frederick Taylor?

Okay, tell us. All right, so this is fascinating. You've heard of time and motion studies, you know, where they have a stopwatch and they would time people doing their work? I hadn't heard of that. Oh.

Yeah, efficiency experts.

Yeah, efficiency experts.

Yeah, efficiency experts.

This was very big in the early part of this 20th century. Datifying. Yes, making work scientific by quantifying it. So what they would do is they had all these things, mostly stopwatches back then, but they would time how long it took you to, say, carry a shovel of ore from one end of this lot to another.

And then they would clock people, and then they would try and get them to increase their speeds. And so this guy wrote this book called The Scientific Management. something like that. And it was very influential on Stalin. Oh, really? Yes. But workers hated it. Sure. For obvious reasons, right? You're getting enough efficiency out of me. Exactly.
