Yes! Finally! This is such a good show to react to and i knew you wouldn't disappoint. This show is just crazy and extremely critical of our society and how big corporations and corruption works. Can't wait to see the rest through your eyes.

2022-02-18 05:14:53 +0000 UTCJust getting started on this now - but wanted to share a fun fact: Vought is a real aerospace company out of TX that became a MIC juggernaut in the 70's and 80's because of the cold war, and subsequently, the Star Wars program. My dad worked for them for many years as a contractor and this was how he ended up in black budget projects (they actually call them "windfalls") and spending some time at Area 51. I have often wondered what he would have thought about this show... From the WIKI: The first incarnation of Vought was established by Chance M. Vought and Birdseye Lewis in 1917. In 1928, it was acquired by United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, which a few years later became United Aircraft Corporation; this was the first of many reorganizations and buyouts. During the 1920s and 1930s, Vought Aircraft and Chance Vought specialized in carrier-based aircraft for the United States Navy, by far its biggest customer. Chance Vought produced thousands of planes during World War II, including the F4U Corsair. Vought became independent again in 1954, and was purchased by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) in 1961. The company designed and produced a variety of planes and missiles throughout the Cold War. Vought was sold from LTV and owned in various degrees by the Carlyle Group and Northrop Grumman in the early 1990s. It was then fully bought by Carlyle, renamed Vought Aircraft Industries, with headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In June 2010, the Carlyle Group sold Vought to the Triumph Group.
