You probably just helped out at least a couple of my former colleagues that are currently un or under-employed as I forwarded the article and am pretty sure most of them will pick up the ball and run with it.
And I am kinda pissed you can search Massachusetts papers online and find basically nothing on Dakota's boom.
Thanks and happy 4th

Yeah, it is sorta hard to find much on it, I read a blurb about N Dakota bucking the trend some time ago and tried to find more online info but there wasnt much, its been silently booming away. But surely, if N Dakota can do this, other states can do better too, if they just stopped to objectively look at what they are doing wrong and N Dakota is doing right.

Hope it works out for those you forwarded the article to. Happy 4th to you.

I checked out your article too. Thanks for posting it. Because someone can edify about this. I was talking with a friend that said that the country of China was buying 50 square miles of land in either Iowa or Idaho to establish a "Free Trade Zone." Allegedly, in this FTZ, the chinese govt. would build manufacturing plants, schools, shopping centers, etc. exclusively for Chinese transplants...the workers. In this zone, U.S. law would not apply. Has anyone heard about this?

Its nonsense. A foreign entity cant establsih areas exempt from US law, other than its diplomatic mission, and even those exemptions are limited.

the most minimal of government interference. There was no licensing, bonding or insuring. We did just fine being self insured.

You think that requirements to be licensed, bonded and insured are examples of a government imposed burdens?

To me and any potential customer looking to do business with you, that's the difference between "professional" and "fly-by-night".

Here is a personal anecdote for you since you think the government is, essentially, infallible and the money that it takes from you in taxes, tolls, fees, permits and every other made up vehicle, is done with the best of intentions.

Approximately two years ago, I get a letter from the State of NJ saying that I have to pay for one of their inspectors to check one of my multi-family houses for lead paint. If I don't pay one of their inspectors, I get fined per unit. Lead poisoning from lead paint was a problem....ohhhhhhhhhh....40 years ago at its height and the use of lead paint, to my recollection, was outlawed in the 1970's. Since that time, thousands of buildings have been razed and rebuilt, obviously without the use of lead paint. New Jersey was NOTORIOUS across this country for rapacious eminent domain abuse and city blocks were gobbled up taking private property for private use. It stands to reason that lead poisoning from lead paint is at an all time low since it was outlawed. Doesn't that make sense? It would be at its worst when it was first outlawed because it was just recently in use...right? Forty years after outlawing it, it would, obviously, be less of a problem now than it was then.

But this law was enacted by one of the biggest pieces of shit that ever held a public office; John Corzine. It was enacted to suck more money from society. A hidden tax cloaked in the name of protecting the health, safety and welfare. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter what the ulterior motive is of your politicians. They can do an awful lot of damage protecting the "health, safety and welfare".

Sure, but if the insured fucks you up, you get a check. If I fucked you up I would lose all my shit. Who has the greater incentive to do things right ?

Who has the greater incentive to drive responsibly ? The one with insurance or without ?

I have seen what licensed, bonded and insured people do. So have others, and that is why I am THE ONLY ONE to ever work on their shit. They want it done right.

Sears has a lifetime guarantee on their tools and I wouldn't but one today at gunpoint. I don't want a refund, I don't even want all my time compensated. I don't want a fucking judgement or a settlement, I want the thing to work the first time, and EVERY TIME.

If I do a job for you my ass is on the line. My house, machine shop, tools, any vehicles, my money in any banks you can find. If they fuck up you fight the best lawyers in the country who will fuck you up the ass because it is they who have to pay.

Are you so sure now about fly by night ? You know the name you put on the check right ?

I've had licensed, bonded and insured people work on my house and I can tell you this, their work is fucking garbage compared to mine in every respect that matters. If that's what you want, I won't put you on the mailing list in case I go into business. Go ahead and pay top buck for bottom line work. Just barely meet the standards, the code. EVERY job I've ever done has been way above and beyond code and any standard you could dream up. I am not a firetruck chaser. I have the people on my side to prove it. Now if they would keep buying houses I would be doing just fine thank you.
