I spent $250,000 in China and laughed in disbelief. Why do people hate Chinese manufacturing so much? I constructed a new 15k factory floor; US cost would be $1,000,000. Chinese work day and night, like me. Do the math. You can't avoid China. 1) The US has no supply chain like the Chinese. 2) Fractional labor costs. 3) They outwork everyone. 4) They will work for little profit. I build companies through the lens of capitalism. I want the highest volume of high profits. I'm a simple person. If it's made to my spec, I don't care where it's made. I have to create value and get paid for it. 10:30pm in Shenzhen last night I watched sparks fly from men welding. It's why I moved here in 2010. They can almost keep up with me. We now have about 60k sq ft. Saved $2,000,000 in buildouts.

I didn’t know if I’d ever have kids. Finding wife huge limiting factor. Asked a gay couple dads about egg donors. I’d be a single dad. Being happy or satisfied? 2009 hits. Unmarried, broke, childless at 39. Loser trifecta. I met my now wife in 2010 but wouldn’t marry or have kids until I had money again. Don’t do this. Life didn’t start until after kids. Pre-kids life was diet narcissism. Had every reason not to marry. Rationale as a fallback to being single. Fear. I pulled the triggers. Late? Maybe. But I’m a husband and a dad, two of the most important qualifications there are in life. Kids make me whole, and they make my life. Another advantage unexpected.
