1/ Crony Capitalists and Oligarchs play by a different set of rules than the rest of society. Rules for *the rest of us* that are taught in school & regs have multiple purposes. One is to protect the *top* and the other is maintain a level of order (which helps the *top* as well)
2/ Every rule or regulation carries within them ways to overcome them. But one first needs to have a spirit that sets the boundaries wide. Stay out of jail, but if one is surrounded by people elevating RULES to revelation, get rid of those people.
3/ In the real world, the action is at the asymptote or tail. If you want to play by the standard rules created by self-serving groups, you really should not become an entrepreneur. Go work for the post office. There are few books that teach you how to break rules or push them to
4/ the edge. Even talking about this can make me sound like a real schmuck. One example. Read the CAN-SPAM act carefully. While the cursory rule attempts to eliminate SPAM, withing the rules themselves will teach you how to legally SPAM,much to the derision of the digerati.
5/ If you can push rules & regs to the edge where there is gray area w/ no well defined direction, this is preferable than paining inside the lines. Interesting actual anecdote. Growing up, I never could physically keep my crayons within the lines. This became my life's metaphor.
"painting" (although paining may be more descriptive)
