Diversity of thought is indeed the key. But I'd add that capitalism brings in the prospect of huge financial gains for those who invent. If you are in a big leviathan, whether government or private, your main concern is not making any mistake. Don't ever take a chance. Compare that to the wildcatters who had the idea about fracking and ACTUALLY TOOK THE CHANCE TO ATTEMPT IT. They took the chance because they could keep the money they made by taking the risk. Bill Gates made my life better, and I don't begrudge him his reward.
Further, this is just one of the pernicious effects of higher taxes. I remember paying 75% taxes (70 federal and 4.6 state) and you are more concerned with tax write-offs than with risking money in investment.Comment

Our entrepreneurship model isn't purely capitalistic -- as noted, we invest heavily in "basic research." However, "applied" developments remain largely market driven.Originally posted by lineygoblue View PostDan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Yes, I was ok (a little under the weather) all day after the morning I got the second shot. Then the next day it hit me, was a long 36 hours like a really bad flu. Got vaccinated Tuesday and was feeling great by Friday. Same thing I seen with my wife the week before. Meanwhile been dealing with not be able to go to in-laws in Hamilton Ontario, now they are shutting themselves off from the rest of Canada.

It's a little scary that this lunatic can work a crowd this well. This was at this weekend's "Health and Freedom" conference in Tulsa, OK, which ended with a mask-burning.

The FedEx mass shooting in Indianapolis was the third mass shooting in Indianapolis this year. A 17 year old kid shot and killed six family members, including an 8 moth pregnant cousin because he was pissed he got caught coming home past curfew. One person shot and killed four family members because his ex would not share any of her stimulus check proceeds with him. He killed the people before he took the stimulus proceeds from his ex's purse.Comment

Meanwhile back in Minneapolis Maxine Waters arrived to continue stirring up trouble. Apparently the current rate of rioting and lawlessness isn't enough for her. She believes "we should get more confrontational", especially if Chauvin is not convicted of murder.
And, CNN's Chris Cuomo says "more white kids need to die" in order for justice to be served for blacks in America.
And not to be outdone, AOC took Chairman Joe out to the woodshed when he said that refugee limits would be set at the same level as it was under the orange man's administration. She quickly whipped his white butt, and he relented, of course, and agreed to push the limits higher. I guess she showed him who's boss.

And now today, Gretch Whitmer held her weekly self-promotional press conference with "Meet the Press", and stated the reason why Covid is spiking in Michigan is "due to travelers from Florida" especially the "snowbirds" who spend winters in Florida, then return in the spring. Of course her staff can vacation in Florida and return, .. and we should "give them some grace" for their travels.
