Yup. Anyone that signs up, of their own free will, for a seven year loan on a depreciating asset has rocks in their head. For fucks sake.

Pesticides and herbicides are still used on organic foods. The difference is in the type of chemicals and when/how applied.

Hey Ansel, thanks for responding and for validating my train of thought...I don't have that much exposure to the VC world so the things I suspect far outweigh the things I know. :)

So...to me this article illustrates the dramatic differences in objective and mentality between bootstrappers and VCs. This VC looks at this idea, figures out that in order to own the market and make $fuckton, they'd have to spend >

Except that Backcountry.com is suing companies far outside their space, like coffee producers. And Walmart should be able to sell “Walmart Backcountry Skis” because backcountry skis are a subtype of skis like alpine skis or cross countr

I’m a climber / skier / runner etc based out of Colorado and between my wife and we’ve spent a small fortune with backcountry.com. I didn’t know about any of this. Suing a maker of backcountry skis? Well, fuck you too, private
