4/4

So going to wrap it up and not tell too many details....

So when we went to sell our idea to the plumbers and whatever the toilet people call their industry, they told us this would be impossible to do without billions because it would require the entire overhaul of the plumbing and waste processing infrastructure. That this would need to re-design toilets and plumbing etc..... because of the membrane. that it had to be tested for years before changes would be made. Was it toxic material? was it harmful to this and that...lot of bullshit.

We told them we can look into making the membrane dissolve in the toilet. That way there wouldn't be the need to redesign anything or spend any money. They wanted nothing to do with it. We surmised they wanted some kind of payoff. They were very powerful in the halls of gov.

So the poly had come up w/ a plan where we can get funding and push this in the legislature. When our accountants and lawyers got the details of the plan, they said this was a big scam he was trying to pull. That our company would be used as a shell for ripping off tax payers and we would have nothing come out of the venture. And if things went south, the politician or any of the toilet/plumbing lobby would sell us out and we could face jail time. Remember this was late 80s / early 90s....this is the way shit worked then.

So I was not looking forward to any possibility of jail and a lot of the other business partners weren't either. When the politician heard of this, he went berserk on us because he looked at our venture as a cash cow to rip off potential investors and tax payers. He needed the money then too because he was deep in a lot of other shit from what I learned later. He owed a lot of money to some unscrupulous ppl.

Long story short, he blackballed all of us and we the venture went under. The business went under. And I couldn't find a job in the city because of this guy's name. My wife eventually left too and stuck me with 2 young children.
Sounds like your life went down the toilet after that.

Well, toilet seats are a fairly new thing in Missouri. There's bound to be some glitches

Global warming reeks havoc with outhouses.

You really think this kind of shit can be made up?

Im thinking of deleting the posts now. too many bad memories and the most stressful time in my life.

Anyway....i lucked out as I had a friend living in the bay area who was hiring. So moved myself and the kids out there in the early 90s and did enough to get back on my feet. Then moved to Hawaii some 13 years later.

You are a little late to the party Bob, the weight joke was made a long time ago.

Maybe try move, that one has only been used once I think.

Yes.

The intent was to help people in developing countries. Those egg shaped membranes could also be used as fertilizer to help grow crops too. Like I said, we were probably 30-50 years ahead of our time.

Looking back, we should have gone to someone like Prince Charles instead of these corrupt politicians. He has proven to be a man of vision when he was also ridiculed when he started his organic crops business back in the 80s.

I thought so too, but an account from 2005 with 20k posts probably isn't SS.

Isn't the organic crop movement eventually going to starve people to death?

My appliance repair guy told me a few years back that they started putting much smaller and cheaper motors into washers/dryers because the manufacturers knew they would wear out quicker and need to be replaced, the classic "engineered obsolescence", concept my late Father-in-Law who was an electrical engineer would talk about after a few cocktails.

A large part of the reason for this is that people choose the cheapest option instead of the longest lasting one. When you go to the store to buy a toaster, and there is a high quality one for $80 or a cheap one for $35 you will choose the $35 one.

Yep! Some things are worth paying a little extra for.

Until what you pay extra for doesn't work as good as the cheap one.

People say this to me all the time. They don't make em like they used to! My dad had a furnace that lasted 40 years! Yeah sure. Did it do safely? Did you never have a no heat call because there was no rollout safety designed to protect you from a fucked up heat exchanger and you got damn lucky for years that your furnace didn't kill someone?

I remember my dad celebrating his Olds turning over 100k miles. We went for a long drive so the whole family could watch the odometer turn over and we cheered. Today, we're pissed if we don't get an easy 250k out of a car. And by standards today they're cheaper too.

This is also true. Life has a way of helping you learn when to spend more and when to buy that bargain item.
