[High Praise! to Western Hero]
Two points previously made:
1) Yes, we all benefit from infrastructure, but only Steve Jobs made the iPhone
2) Cuba and North Korea have infrastructure too: School teachers, roads and bridges, so there must be something else that drives an economy.
Brilliant.
…and some of the most successful entrepreneurs – like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Michael Dell (Dell computers), Richard Branson (Virgin group), David Oreck (the Oreck vacuum), Dean Kamen (founder of Segway), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), – either never went to college or didn’t graduate. So, so much for crediting those liberal universities…or was Obama talking about elementary school teachers being responsible for their success?
I don’t often click on the source-links, but did in this case. The author (Silver Fiddle?) makes some exceptional points. What was truly telling however, at least to me, were the comments that followed. I’ve never before wittnessed such collective head explosions and give “High Praise” to him for so adroitly handling it.
