When I look at this photo, I think about past America. I look at the cars and think, “Henry Ford”. I look at the skyscrapers and think, “Chicago”. I think about the camera that took the photo and I think, “George Eastman”.
A moment later, I am reminded of the substance which allows a country like the UAE to enjoy the spoils of our freedom. The substance that powers our country; the substance that should no longer power our country, but will continue to, because our country has lost the capacity to innovate.
Present America is a bureaucracy. Our corporations and our government function as a single entity, asphyxiating us. Almost nobody can get anything done. We have lost the means of pursuing happiness.
There is a tiny exception to this rule. The Entrepreneurs. The men and women who look America in the eye and say, “No! Like this.”
Yes, entrepreneurs like Lodwick who put so much funding into meaningful pursuits and alternative energy.
And not fueling demand for products that produce drug wars in South America. Yup, looks like Lodwick’s got this whole entrepreneurial thing down and has got his investments all figured out. Wonder what his return is.
