So this was GM chairman Roger Smith. And he appeared to have a brilliant plan: First, close 11 factories in the U. S., then open 11 in Mexico where you pay the workers 70 cents an hour. Then, use the money you've saved by building cars in Mexico to take over other companies, preferably high-tech firms and weapons manufacturers. Next, tell the union you're broke and they happily agree to give back a couple billion dollars in wage cuts. You then take that money from the workers, and eliminate their jobs by building more foreign factories. Roger Smith was a true genius. — Michael Moore · 1989Robert McNamara1 quote
We all make mistakes. We know we make mistakes. I don't know any military commander, who is honest, who would say he has not made a mistake. There's a wonderful phrase: "the fog of war." What "the fog of war" means is: war is so complex it's beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend all the variables. Our judgment, our understanding, are not adequate. And we kill people unnecessarily. — Robert McNamara · 2003Steve Jobs1 quote
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And what that means is...I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. — Steve Jobs · 1996Werner Herzog1 quote
I believe the common denominator of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility, and murder. — Werner Herzog · 2005
