Capitalism (if you can still call it that) today is not what it was in the past. Many of the entrepreneurial pioneers of the early 20th century would not be successful doing the same today. Call it bureaucratic red tape, too much government intervention or simply extreme litigation. Americans feel they need an agency or division of government to protect them in the case that they use a product incorrectly or fail to read the instructions. If a kid falls off a bike, the manufacturer is scrutinized since there must have been a defect.
It's amazing we all survived growing up
I even drank from a garden hose once and lived. Truly a miracle!
