One day, when you spend 200 coconuts on food for your family, right after a couple gets their food free, and you watch them load their free groceries into their Escalade, you'll understand. The fact they were wearing $200 Jordans, have three gold chains, and have tattoos head to toe won't even matter.
No it's like hiring Steve Jobs to redesign your computer. Someone who wanted to make computers smaller, more efficient, and make more sense.
Great example. Steve Jobs wasn't very knowledgeable about how technology actually worked, just on how things should look and "feel" to use. He also virtually committed suicide by refusing medical treatment for his very curable cancer in favor of "alternative medicine." This is a great analogy.
I don't think limiting Liberty and growing centralization is the key, unless you want more of what you're against
I'm not a Steve Jobs expert so maybe that's off. For all of the problems you listed, he created a heap ton of value for American consumers. Amish analogy breaks down because wanting to reduce govt. is not the same as believing in no government at all.
And Tommy Hilfiger created a ton of value with his shirts. Give me a break. The Amish believe computers exist, they just don't want to use them and think they should not be in their lives.
I'm not really sure how much more out federal government could really actually "grow". Spending and waste has been and always will be my primary gripe.
But he did with marketing. Creating value isn't about the product only. It's about the business plan as a whole.
We apparently see that word differently. The most expensive jewel is only as valuable as it's practical use. If someone values it at millionsvof dollars, it's practical value is still the same.
