A month has passed since Bob Kierlin's death. Though he built Fastenal into a $44B market cap giant, he remained an unknown titan of industry—exactly as he preferred. Kierlin's true legacy lies in his approach to company culture. He was one of the few CEOs who genuinely meant it…

Also, the California High Speed Rail pictured on the left cost taxpayers $100 Billion In contrast, SpaceX spent $5B-$10B to develop Starship, less than 1/10th the cost of our non-existent HSR At this point, I think most government spending is really just looting

Tip for getting pricing from trade partners: Take the plans and go meet with them in person. They get hundreds of emails a day just like you. It allows you to work through the scope together plus build on your relationship. Face to face is always better. Your client will thank…
