Re: What Explains America's Achievements of the Last 150 Years?

"I've never been unemployed ... you?"

 

Once, for about a month,  right after I got out of the Army in 1979....There was a recession going on then too,  and I was a 22 year old dumbass who thought I knew a whole lot about most everything.  Don't get me wrong, there have been some lean times,  but in general,  anyone can get out and go make a little money....Might not be what you want to do,  but that is the distinction between those who are successful and those who are not:

 

"Successful folks do the things that unsuccessful folks don't want to do"
