Developing a soil function catalyst using a novel manufacturing process that compresses centuries of natural soil-building into hours.

@willob Now these are perks

Heard many complain about our nicest neighborhood. It being too well kept "creeps them out."

My conclusion is that deep inside these people fear a well-maintained, safe community, because to live in it makes their ugliness and degeneracy stand out in discomforting contrast.

A muddied pig in a living room will be cleaned or removed, but in a sty it is left alone.

@FendeVilliers Thank you, sir.

@celestialbe1ng Our childhood home was often the internal place where we rested and from where we made sense of the external world outside.

Once we're grown, it remains in our mind as the familiar place to retreat to while we try to work through the problems we face in our adult lives.

Good morning.

The way suppliers fail to answer the phone, you'd think they don't want customers.

Request for startup perhaps? Maybe a factory-deployed software dev who's sole mission is to drive around America upgrading all legacy "Request/call for quote" factories, foundries, mills, etc to instant online quotes.

[Connor Kapoor @connorkapoor]

Today I ran an experiment that exposed what I believe to be one of the biggest threats to America’s future

I tried to get a couple small steel castings made, something simple, a prototype component to compare against our own quality, from a Chinese foundry and 5 American Foundries

The Chinese foundry rep replied within the hour with a full quote of $180 ea, 2 week lead time, and shipping estimation

The American foundries?
Had a terrible time trying to even find them.
One had no website quote form, and all had only “request for quote” buttons
Two never picked up the phone.
The fourth said they don’t “do small runs”.

Most of them don’t even ask for the STEP file…

The one quote I got back was $2200, and it would take 6 weeks.

This is the reality: America used to have world-class foundries making the components for critical infrastructure, but today they’re buried under manual quoting, restrictive union practices, legacy equipment, fixed tooling, high minimum order quantities, and outdated systems

Meanwhile, China made buying castings, even in tiny quantities, effortless.

If we want to rebuild domestic manufacturing, and we want to build the next generation of domestic;

Jet engines
Rocket engines
Turbo-machinery
Weapon systems
Satellites
Robots
Surgical equipment
Drones
Cars
Planes
Trains,

we will have to rebuild the foundry business from the ground up, starting with how engineers order parts.

Otherwise the foundries of tomorrow won’t be American, they’ll just be pouring parts for American companies offshore.

@aphysicist Not to be a "my thing applies to everything" guy, but one of my goals is to convince people that regenerating the soil is an upstream lever on innovation capacity.
