Californiaβs High-Speed Rail project was one of the worst investments of all time:
CA High-speed Rail vs. Panama Canal
Cost (in todayβs $):
β’ CA HSR: $126β231 billion
β’ Panama Canal: $12 billion
Time to open:
β’ CA HSR: 18+ years (still NO service)
β’ Panama Canal: 10 years
Annual revenue:
β’ CA HSR: $0
β’ Panama Canal: $6.6 billion
The Panama Canal annual revenue is 50% of its cost and still prints money after 112 years with tens of billions in lifetime revenue.
California hasnβt run a single train! Over $126 billion spent and $0 generated.
Hey @BowTiedBroke is this the bear that took your chainsaw? π» heβs on the loose again!
There are 2 ways to build the tallest building in town:
1. By building yours taller
2. By tearing others down
Itβs always better to be #1

This is really inspiring + counterintuitive
Something you wouldnβt *think* could scale, but actually scales *the most*
Magic Patterns celebrates 3 years in business by celebrating early power users (not their own achievements)
A counterintuitive approach is the same reason itβs a great product - they put care and craft into the details that matter.
Not splashy like a huge party, but a more durable ripple effect.
Do things that *DO* scale in business.
Congrats to @alexdanilowicz @Teddarific

And to my friends @tonyennis and @faith_alqah who reintroduced me to trying the product again! Happy to have discovered it :)
