What I mean is where ar ethe REALLY innovative and rebellious companies. No not Google. What I mean is where are the Ataris and old school Apples that were proud to be rebellious. The ones that grew out of a garage. The ones that did not sell out to wall st. ? I see the whole DIY electronics and makerbot crowd, but thats about it. What has happened to that rowdy American spirit?

In order to make some serious money before you grow old in america, you gotta be a real suck up. The game of being a millionaire before 30 from scratch with no help(rich family, illuminati) is pretty much over.

agreed, those days are long gone... save what you can and travel as much as you can, thats as good as it gets in my humble opinion!

You know, if you think about that, those companies were started a little after the country went off the gold standard. Hmm..... Maybe because our countryyhad not quite lost all the value of the dollar yet.
