This is yet another prime example.
Time and again....it comes right back to this fundamental.
To initiate, maintain and grow something good...and most importantly ...keep it.
Don't put your faith, hope, money and trust in a corp. to do it.
Don't put your faith, hope, money and trust in (a) government(s) to do it.
They both have their own (completely and understandably justifiable) motives, agendas, politiks, issues of accountability to investors/ shareholders, pandering/ catering to multitudes of jackdaw consumers with a desire for pretty shiny things (as well as so many more base survival issues) and many more priorities which [at some or many point(s)] are and/ or aren't at odds with what that populace really wants or needs.
Consequently many talk of "reliability", "stability", "longevity" and many more "-ity's" ...
well ..sanity dictates...corp. and gov't are the last places to look for it.
You'd think (as an intelligent species) we would have caught on by now...after so many disappointments by the same organizational models over and over again.
Rather...
Invest in good people.
Invest in your friends.
Invest in your community.
The fundamental Question:
Who really understands... knows... what you want or need and can deliver it?...
The most obvious Answer:
The talented people standing right next to you ...
Who want or need the same things too.
ok...I'm done...burned mah soapbox
