Korva rescues the ideas worth keeping from podcasts. Each one becomes a Card.

Rome required future senators’ sons to fight barbarians at the front, keeping elites connected to ordinary reality.
The United States had been buying roughly 100 Tomahawks a year, then fired 850 in one day in Iran.
The United States shipped Ukraine three years of missile inventory. Ukraine used it up in six weeks.
Taxpayers bought production capacity for two Virginia-class and one Columbia-class submarine annually. Actual production is about 0.6.
America’s submarine industry faces a 50-million-labor-hour deficit. Workforce capacity is the primary bottleneck.
Software makes manufacturing workers four to ten times more productive while opening factory work to people without factory experience.
After the Cold War ended, the United States cut defense manufacturing jobs by 63%.
America saved the world in World War II with the largest manufacturing and logistics base, not necessarily the best tanks.
At Hadrian, 5% to 10% of technicians become software engineers after coding tools to improve their own productivity.
Hourly wages do not reattach blue-collar workers to the economy. Shared wealth creation can turn industrial growth into generational wealth.
