Why are they wasting cycles buying land and dealing with right-of-way and safety issues? They could just buy 100,000 shipping containers for $2M (50,000 each way), stick them together, seal them up, and sink them off the coast.

I second this book recommendation. Reading one of Boyd's more epic slide decks might be interesting to some: http://www.ausairpower.net/JRB/poc.pdf The priority placed on tight OODA loops jibes well with the Lean

There's also the fact that winning enough coin tosses gives one the ability to improve the odds on subsequent tosses. Buffet is perspicacious and patient, yes - but when you add that he has a $100B float to play with, you've reall
