Global Semiconductor Shortage, Deepening Supply Chain Nightmare

"When you already have everything you need, you can't get FOMO" -- Pau1

This Blog self serves a purpose to enjoy a creative outlet for myself. I hope that others may find some value.

Random thoughts, ideas, links, media, podcasts, writings that I find interesting and want to save online. I'm a retired entrepreneur and love studying reasons that some businesses are great.

Business Idea

Why are there no national laundromat chains, franchises, co-ops? If I were to build a National Laundromat Chain, I would like them to have:

• Automatic Open and Closing Locks

• All cashless, using smart payment systems

• Cross use facilities

• Complementary products and extra services for sale (soaps, tailoring, pick-up/drop-off. Games, candy, drinks, mailbox rentals...

• Unattended if needed

• Add Real Estate if so inclined

There’s a few podcasts about Laundromats. Here’s one:

Jon Bathgate @jbathgate

One really fun surprise from joining NZS and engaging more on fintwit is getting to have conversations with fantastic folks like @JMihaljevic and @JRogrow. I always feel like I talk too much in these so I'm glad that at least Rishi appreciates it 😂

Rishi Gosalia @RishiGosalia

@JMihaljevic is a terrific host. He asks relevant open ended questions, allowing his guests the time to explore topics they have deeply thought about. See the recent interview with @jbathgate on semis. John got his questions asked in 12% of the interview time. https://t.co/A0hfh2eyYd
