You know, one more thing on government interference. I have experienced it. We were doing a major factory expansion. Unfortunately, we had the attitude about the state environmental laws that MSFT previously had ( and probably still does in reallity) about the DOJ. Namely, the heck with them. So when the state finally found out we had a descrepancy with our state license they came down on us like a ton of bricks. End result, our expansion was completely stopped in mid stream and it took us a year to get permission to start back. It costs us millions of dollars. Even to this day the state watches us like a hawk. No fun.
