The mountain of government obstacles. Recessions were never fun, but we used to bounce back from them fairly quickly. The phrase "bounce back" actually applied.

The EPA is today the primary enemy of ... MOREElisabeth Meinecke: Domestic Drones And Spying
Should you be worried? There are two types of people that have anything to fear from domestic drones: those who have done something wrong … and those who haven’t.
