Right.
And you cannot understate how important General Motors is to the history of the American corporation.
Sloan's My Years at General Motors and Adventures of the White Collar Man, if you run a large engineering organization, you should read that.
That is... Like, do you...
This thing that we talk as a modern corporation didn't just emerge.
Sloan and Kettering create, Kettering is the head of engineering, created this with levels and vice presidents and how do you do functional and matrix organizations.
There really is like the source code.
Comes along, John, you know, comes on DeLorean and he says, he writes, he's going to be president and he's so fed up with the company.
But what was controversial was GM was doing really well at the time.
GM was like a, when we say like GM was number one in the Fortune 100, it was like number one, two, and three.
It was everything, and it was seen as the best company in America, so somebody to openly criticize the company.
And so he has a hope.
He writes this book as he quits out of how annoyed he was how General Motors was being led.
He writes his book, and then after he like sobers up, he's like, I don't want that book published.
And so he fights for years for his co-author not to publish the book.
The co-author still publishes it, so it's a real true insight into a large corporation.
I'm incidentally just reading it out, even though I've, you know, worked at GM 20 some years ago and, you know, know a lot about the company.
And what's shocking is it's not only by GM, most of the major manufacturers actually still operate that way on the inside.
And so the question isn't, the point I think for everyone to take away isn't that these people who run these companies are stupid.
They're not stupid.
