[Leica] Alone...

Tue Feb 9 07:17:53 PST 2021

Jayanand,
I think you're exactly right. The US has achieved 90-something percent of things it wants to do with 20-something percent of its available effort, and it's now expending 80-something percent of its resources and efforts trying to achieve the final 10-something percent. That's a recipe for bankruptcy, frustration and ultimate failure. Perhaps success ultimately levels its own playing field. This is a great example of the 80/20 rule, now updated to the 90/10 rule. Someone should write a book.
Just my 2 cents.
Jim

Just reinforces my theory that the poor in the USA are the middle class in 90% of the world (by population)!

Cheers
