A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.

My engineer dad is where my technical acumen comes from. I remember him taking me to the factories to see how what works.
