Interesting article on the robber barons, but I think it confuses the issue. These were shrewd and brilliant business men that built monopolies by making higher quality, lower cost products. That is the power of capitalism, and back then it was raw. The problems came after they achieved monopoly status. They could dictate prices. They could retaliate against competition by flooding markets. This is why the monopoly was broken. The article seems to talk past this a little

No haha. It's a full-service security consulting firm that does building security consulting (eval/recommendations and such) as well as actual technical implementation plans/drawings. Their portfolio ranges from towers to schools to biomed buildings etc... including some very high profile ones under construction that we gush over on this board. Should be fun... but confidential of course. ;-D
 
Congratulations

So I suppose you will be buying a round of drinks for everyone at the next ArchBoston meetup?

It is better to not drop hints of what you do online until several years after you no longer hold a security oriented job.
 
My lips are sealed. No projects, companies, etc shall be named.

Also... can anyone explain this?

The left lane on 495 N/B between exits 8 & 9 will be closed until tomorrow at 7:30 am due to the forecasted heavy rain. Please use caution!
