A real "Innovation" is when a good idea survives contact with reality. The idea is cultivated and iterated upon such that it is built into a solution that costs less than dealing with the problem it solves.
@DonaldMills142 Indeed. It’s not that good ideas aren’t important, they’re just overrated relative to implementation.
The IDEA of going to the Moon is EASY, but GOING to the Moon is HARD.
I wish I could vote for @spencerpratt.

People always ask me, “how can we fix LA? We don’t have the money!”
We have the money…it’s just being stolen! You wanna fix the budget? END THE FRAUD. I will bust the scammers and put your tax dollars back to work for YOU.

With the taint of bureaucratic overreach in our institutions, I get him....
And I hope he and they recover from their folly.
@HasanabiProd Classic Logical Fallacies, Mr. "Prod".
Nowhere does Mr. "Gold" say that it is attributable to "genetics" (it is "culture"). That is your Strawmaning what he is saying.
Committing logical fallacies is a cope for having an inferior intellect.
It's a fact.
@patrickbetdavid Where is this wealth?
It is invested in coherent systems of human relationships (e.g., companies). It is not "income". It is the influence to maintain the viability of these "systems" in a highly competitive marketplace of ideas, products, and policies.
HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt is calling out Democrats BY NAME who SPARKED the rhetoric leading to Saturday's attempt on President Trump's life

Here's the problem: Most billionaires (esp. self-made) do a better job of managing and allocating resources than the governments of most countries. The incentives are built in.
Most billionaires would be happy to pay more if they knew these resources would be used well.
