That’s how it works. When you’re trying to create a new kind of value, a million and one stupidities come crawling out of the woodwork to stop you, because there are easier ways to make less money right now. Edit: latest example from my entrepreneurship is switching from making my brass products from CNCed billet to making them scrap that I melt into oversized castings and CNC finish. Investors said, “China does that, you can’t compete with China”. Industry experts said the same. Banks said the same. I bought the equipment from company savings, and we ate our competition alive because we haven’t had to raise our prices this year. People don’t know it, but they mostly believe that whatever’s happening now is the only thing that can happen.
