Make versus buy (or steal)

If there is one movie or TV show that I get asked about when I say that I work in chemical manufacturing, it’s always Breaking Bad. People want to know if chemical manufacturing is anything like the show. I tell people the truth – I haven’t watched much of it. As a testament to the show’s accuracy, I watched a single episode in 2012 while I was on vacation and thought to myself ‘this is too much like work.’
