Awhile back there was some talk about GE. I listened to a Freakonomics podcast with Jeff Immelt. 3 things.
1. It was a really good and candid podcast. I recommend it.
2. There was a lot of shit, most of it brushed over because it’s only an hour that I will look into. It really got my dork juices going.
3. I guess in my own naïveté I didn’t realize how important GE was. By the time I came around they were a lot less important. But immelt talked about Lehman going down and shit got real for them because they were that scope. I guess I didn’t realize the finance arm was that ****ing huge.
Anyway. Fascinating shit I’m probably going to look into.
