Oshkosh is a great company. I tried to get my brother, who is a quality engineer, to go work for them because they've been picking up a lot of contracts for military vehicles, as well as utility trucks. Nice part of the country too.

As long as the contract goes through this guarantees jobs for Oshkosh until 2040.

30 billion in GDP probably doubles the GDP for the entire state.

I wore OshKosh when I was kid. God, the beatings I took on the playground. The beatings!

Okay, I wore them in college too.

I'm wearing them now.

and the beatings continue.

Time to invest in that new Wound Wear. Simu could make WAY more than 30B off that!
