>I have seen multiple companies explode, friendships deteriorate, businesses die a slow death, or waste hundreds of hours (and dollars) working through the emotional debt built up from not splitting equity evenly.

>Although the court left open the possibility that other arguments could be pressed against the South Dakota law, Kennedy’s majority opinion strongly suggested the measure was constitutional, in part because it has the $100,000 threshold and...

Anyone know where the Constitution talks about this $100,000 threshold?

>How could the industrial boom in China or the USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s have happened without emvironmental destruction? How can growth happen in China now without it?
