[GreenKeys] Bell Labs - True Innovation

[Gerry Block]

,,, and right now you have GE selling out its vast aerospace IP to China, one of 
the great unspoken scandals in recent US history.  GE has as much aerospace 
technology as Bell did in communications..

And so went the brain trust of America.

Sold out for the egos of CEOs and short term profits and hence the stock price.

And my biggest gripe:

The way that "The Unemployment Rate" is the Holy Grail of the economy 
making no distinction between a Bell Labs or HP job lost to a replacement 
Starbucks job.
