America is being held back by RED TAPE, not creators or innovators!! We have LOTS of those! Too bad the best of the creators and inventors work for major corporations! Why? Has anyone bothered to ask… Why the hell is it so complicated for a low level employee to get an idea across in a major organization or company?! Even if the idea could cure cancer, forget about it!! The “RIGHT” people didn’t come up with the idea! The people at the “top” MUST protect their own jobs AT ALL COST!! So here comes the red tape…or “brick wall” I like to say.

Business Red Tape also comes from the walls we put into place as Fees.

Most businesses could stand to be simplified, Amazon prime is a simple concept that will save you money if you are a heavy Amazon purchaser.

Always look at the math of a Red tape based fee. Know what you are buying into.

I.E.

A convenience fee

expedited service fee

rental car refueling charges

airline miles usage fees

The future belongs to innovators. Always has. From the dinosaurs right up until the present day. Cultures and nations (and people) who ignore innovation, or worse yet create systems to prevent it and preserve the status quo, do so at great peril. Life offers no guarantees except perhaps that the path of stagnation leads to extinction.
