Good for them. Make it great, and then sell it for profit while moving on the next deal. That is what makes America great and unique.whitetrash said:

And yes, America is one of the few places where you can truly start with nothing and build something great and sell it for a profit. It is absolutely something that makes America great and different than most of the world.
Well yeah but besides those places and any other places you can think ofRedbrickbear said:You can't start a business and build it up and then sell it for a profit in Japan, S.

All I'll say is that the frequency with which that activity occurs in most of the jurisdictions you named is a fraction of what it is in the United States. There are many and varied reasons for the differences in different jurisdictions, but in general, yes, the United States is a veritable shangri-la to start and grow a business compared to all of the places you named.Redbrickbear said:You can't start a business and build it up and then sell it for a profit in Japan, S.

I have traveled pretty extensively to every country you just listed with the exception of Australia/New Zealand. If you think the barriers of entry/success are the same in those places, you are sorely mistaken.
American's really don't understand how good we have it here. You start to have real conversations outside your borders and you instantly realize that being born into this country is an absolute privilege of the highest order.

Singapore IS a bright light. Unfortunately, they face crippling labor costs and don't have anything like the resource availability they need. So their ability for business is almost entirely confined to biotech an tech, many with large start-up costs.Redbrickbear said:loanbear said:Correct.Redbrickbear said:You can't start a business and build it up and then sell it for a profit in Japan, S.

Any word on when Tate will start pumping out whiskey at his distillery? It's my fallback in case Balcones goes down hill
interesting, their latest one I picked up I would classify as too sweet.CammoTX said:
I'll be that guy - I'm not a fan of Balcones bourbon. I like their other stuff but their bourbon has too much bite. It's not sweet enough for my taste.

The pot sill bourbon is the one that isn't mellow enough for my taste.
its been that way for about 3-4 years now. You used to be able to find Weller 12 for $28/. That's like hunting for king cobras in Grand PrAirie nowCammoTX said:
Not to derail, but I make my old fashioned with Weller Special Reserve (I know, I know) and it is basically impossible to find now in Houston. My backup was Buffalo Trace and I can't even find that! This is getting ridiculous - it's not like I'm trying to find Blanton's or Pappy!
