To be fair, hard work that isn't well-directed is a waste. Digging a giant hole with a spoon is hard work but won't get you anywhere. But it's strange to me that if I tell people an idea here in Ireland the first thing people do is look for reasons it won't work, but if I say the same thing to friends back home in California they'll look for reasons it could. Maybe it's just my friend circles.

This was exactly my experience growing up in Ireland, and was the primary reason I immigrated to the US after college.

Pretty sad that our biggest success story is the Collisons, who knew to get the hell out.
