    This. Laws and regulations have created many imbalanced systems. Government is simply too slow to respond to new information, and laws tend to drastically shut down information gathering. We have MANY "lifestyle" ills in our society. Bad food is just one of them.

    @MJ DeMarco please remove if this is too political. I know it's pushing it but I want to highlight how much impact just a few smart, motivated people can have when they "follow the money." SO MUCH business success comes down to effectively "following the money," as you point out in TMFL. People...

    "95% of all new businesses fail!" Why it is utter BS.

    ASSERTION 
    Good point. Should also add that in most cases these stats define "fail" as "close down." Many businesses open, make good money, and then shut down.

    "Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because on it He abstained from all His work...

    Absolutely possible, but questionable practicality. The adhesive needs to resist the chemical insults that tires are exposed to over the years, and as this is primarily a consumer product I don't want to recommend using very harsh chemicals. There are some products that could work, but suspect...

    Yes that's the balancing act in selecting the right adhesive. It needs to be strong enough to work, but not so strong that you can't remove it without damaging the wheel or tire.

    Been busting a$$ and making progress! And I'm having a blast doing it! I sent the load cell for the test press off to be calibrated and finally got it back, so I could work on getting my testing setup. I'm used to managing QA labs where a basic press costs $80k. That isn't an option here. I...

    "What is Money" is a fascinating topic that most people don't really understand. Including the people in charge of our monetary system. I prefer to think about how it should work, and the signs to look for of it not working well. At the end of the day, money is just a universal notation of...

    Hello! Thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough reply with great questions and comments! As I said, I've seen some significant progress to the point where I have time to do other things, but not as much as I'd hoped for. I mean an eye for just basic hour-to-hour, day-to-day stuff...

    I said no such thing. I said that I do not think he was trying to do a nazi salute, he was trying to gesture "my heart goes out to you." It came out looking a whole lot like like a nazi salute, but intent matters. Why would he be making that salute in this situation? Do you think he was calling...

    To be fair, people who have immigrated to the US are a small subset of the overall population and not likely a representative sample. Plus, immigrants tend to face significant employment hurdles. Having limited job opportunities pushes motivated people into entrepreneurship.
