Than where is the production?

It was explained to me at the industrial gases company I worked at that safety is not just important to save lives, it is important to do business. The reasons were explained but I can't articulate them here. Likewise, every one of our suppliers had to be qualified to work with us, and the safety record was paramount.

Looking a this situation, JB is learning as he goes how to do business at the expense of investors. He blew it in the area of permitting, and I suspect that he is too busy tinkering and designing neat feeding systems than doing whatever he has to do to be able to operate, and I bet that has lots to do with industrial safety.

Cars are designed to be operated by the average person trouble-free. They also test the crap out of them, recall them for the slightest fault, and provide full documentation to go along with it.

This is a brand new process that does contain hazards (electricity, oxygen, heat, off-gas, etc).

It just seems to me that investors get so excited when JB designed something like this Ram Feeder that they forget about the practical aspects. I could care less how interesting this device is, I just know that there is some governing body that makes sure it is safe to operate and that that is more important than how neat it is. Similarly, when an industrial press is purchased there is an operating manual that goes along with it that says that both hands musty press button simultaneously in order to operate the press, in order to avoid an operator taping over one of the buttons to get more work through it, in the process losing a hand.

I could show you how to scuba-dive in about 5 minutes. There is one skill; equalizing pressure in the ears. Other than that, all you have to do is remember to breath continuously, and you are good to go to 100 ft. Of course, if something happens (about 1% probability) you are dead... the point is... don't take chances.

Now if you excuse me, I have this running shoe business I must attend to.
