It is difficult to accept failed business attempts
If any examples given ACTUALLY have any failure associated with them - that is part of growing a business !
Failures are stepping stones for success !
Medford, OR. can be a prime example of learning from past failures (if they are indeed failures) and turning them into success - which can then be re applied in NC, etc, etc.
There may even be some learning moments in Medford to the non perfect actors that may not even be publicly disclosed !
The decorticator has not been shown to be worthless in the new world - post legalization - why is that a failure ?
