"Look around, the largest real estate company has no buildings, the biggest transportation company has no cars, the largest retailer in the world has no stores…"

This is a very poignant observation. Physical presence is getting less important and everything is decentralizing. The era of "the little guy" being able to get his proportional stake, instead of being shaken down by economies of scale working against him, has begun. It's become more possible in the last few years to strike out a life and support yourself in a way that doesn't make you an Office-Space (the movie) style wage-slave. I'm excited to be here trying to contribute to it.

Thanks for the article.
