excellent read.. i found it especially interesting how you broke it down by fundamentals to quantitatively compare the two, with the stadium capex as a baseline.
Your thesis makes perfect sense, and in a perfect world governments, and corporate America for that matter, would follow your thesis and invest in job creation through startups. However, human nature has the habit of seeing their name up in lights as 10s of thousands pour into the stadium to watch football.
I think what your article really is getting to the bottom of, and by using football as the foil, is that to drive the US economy as the largest generation on the planet - the millenials - takes the reins. Where the focus needs to be is on empowering the entrepreneur, which in turn will empower the people through employment and wealth creation.
Kudos for your company, iSelectFund, for helping to make that vision a reality.
