Maybe a lot of them fail, but maybe some of them hit it big and make everyone a ton of money or achieve an important goal. If one of these, let’s say “adventurous capitalists” really makes a big difference with a handful of companies that far outweighs their losses on others, should we celebrate their success or denigrate their misses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the whole concept of venture capital. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govt investments, to influence social and other behaviors should all be properly vetted, which should include feasibility of success. To a degree, you might be right. I think many have been far past reasonable degrees. I think we've had far too many situations of "investment" going to friends and political allies.

I completely agree. This is why I think we need to invest more in Inspectors General, whose jobs include preventing waste and corruption. Last I checked, for ever $1 we spend on IGs, we get up to $26 back in savings from waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
