A review of Timothy Mellon's memoir "PanAm.Captain," tracing the Mellon heir and major Trump/RFK Jr. donor's path from pilot to railroad and airline owner.
I'm really drawn to folks who were democrats, and aren't anymore. Though Timothy Mellon is from a completely different socio-economic status than I am, talking about experiences derived from calorie-burning work resonates with me. What also resonates is calling out bureaucrats who seem to take pleasure in enforcing The Process yet who actually produce nothing of value for society. This book will be next up after John Klar's newest release.
While I would say that I was very progressive in my younger days, having been a back to the land person (inspired by hippies i'll admit), I've been now for so long either been a solo practitioner veterinarian with cows and involved with management intensive grazing and now have my own her for the last 10 years, I really have no space for people who look at their watch and wait to go home to get back to their Netflix or whatever. Total immersion in one's calling and finding out about things related to it by actual hands-on work is much more real than anything else. I don't necessarily buy into the rugged "pull yourself up by your own boot straps", instead, I like to work with like-minded people who like to sweat an honest day's sweat and do an honest day's work.
Shades of “Atlas Shrugged” reverberates. I so look forward to reading this book written by a man who understands the raison d’etre of being human and has committed his life to living it. May God bless him in all ways.
Unions did not bankruptcy the railroads and airlines, deregulation did. The destruction of pur economy, which has been collapsing gradually since JFK was murdered, was caused not by big government, but by Wall Street/London speculation and also the deindustrialization of the U.S., caused by "outsourcing" and anti-scence greenies. Outsourcing to use cheap labor overseas is financially profitable to big corporations, but destructive to our physical economy and the lives of hard-working Americans.
Mr. Mellon truly is a Mellon, and I don't understand why MAHA is promoting this guy.

What you may be attracted to is the quality of change in the face of better evidence.
Also have similar experiences.

Thank you for your personal reveal. We have very similar pasts however instead of animal husbandry, chose plant expertise currenelty ongoing.
Am thinking of the adage "when the student is ready, the teacher appears"
Can think of dozens of potent examples.
Traditional pharmacognosy is a professional passion of mine. It's simply fascinating to see and know about how plants can be used medicinally.
Have an equivalent pedigree, decades of experience.
Botany has answers to prevent, or treat maladies.
The former is preferable.

For many reasons this highlight of Captain Mellon is timely and telling.
The history and account speaks volumes.
A recently retired pilot friend also very wealthy. A generous considerate person.
Unfortunately his story is tethered to woke ideology. Made the wrong turn at the fork.

RFK did the exact same shift joining team Trump much to the chagrin of many MAHA peeps, some still suffering from tertiary Derangement.
Not difficult to overstand. You make the case that origins determine outcome.
Changing direction is an admirable quality. Tim Melon did just that.
