Add to that all the similarly inclined nuts in Congress and the Supreme Court and I'd say the USA is in for big trouble. [01:43] schestowitz[TR2] And Musk is simply the biggest blowhard in the world. If Tesla keeps dropping, at least he won't be the richest. He is simply insufferable.

[01:43] schestowitz[TR2] Certainly agree with that. Consulting has always been a drag on IBM. Its time for it to go.
