Now I’m off to the volunteer organization to help select high school students to give full 4 year scholarships to, including room & board & books, plus some vocational students!! Now, this I’m going to enjoy!!!
Good ol’ 5 whys, rooted in Lean Six Sigma. I must’ve sat through dozens of talks on the 5 whys over my career(s). Classic example video: https://youtu.be/N7cR2gArCFE
You are correct when it comes to its use in Six Sigma. I just looked it up and it ties right in to Bill’s Toyota example :
Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist, inventor, and founder of Toyota Industries, developed the 5 Whys technique in the 1930s. It became popular in the 1970s, and Toyota still uses it to solve problems today. Toyota has a "go and see" philosophy.
From an April 27, 1978, speech by economist Milton Friedman (Nobel Prize winner in economics) at Kansas State University:
We call a tariff a protective measure. It does protect; it protects the consumer very well against one thing. It protects the consumer against low prices. . . .
[W]hen people talk about a favorable balance of trade, what is that term taken to mean? It’s taken to mean that we export more than we import. But from the point of view of our well-being that’s an unfavorable balance. That means we are sending out more goods and getting fewer in. Each of you in your private household would know better than that. You don’t regard it as a favorable balance when you have to send out more goods to get less coming in. . . .
[I]f you eliminate government from these matters you enable individuals to deal with one another. If you introduce protection, tariffs, restrictions on trade, they become matters for government-to-government wrangling and they are an enormous source of division. So in the name of both prosperity and world peace there are few steps that we could take which would contribute more than a complete move toward free trade.
Johnson Reaches Agreement to Kill Proxy Voting Proposal in the House
“Republicans who had been poised to force a vote on changing House rules to allow new parents to vote remotely pulled back after the speaker offered a watered-down solution for a narrow set of new mothers.”

What does that say about how the GOP feels about women? Do they really want women to be “barefoot, pregnant and at home?”
When you ask the 5 why's the last question does hit home. I do wished I could of made better mistakes then what I made but I must keep pushing forward and love myself through it.
Where are the stars? I give this article a 5+++
I realized I'm better off with hearts! Stars tell me how I'm doing, but hearts tell the world!
Well I send you 5+++ hearts then.
Why? Isn’t that a kids favorite question??? 👍
Loved the tortoise story - saw it before

"Sorry about that." Don't apologize for truths that might hit close to home. Thanks!

Wasn’t it around before Six Sigma?
Perhaps not rooted in, I just know every lean six sigma type training I’ve sat through included the five whys.

yeah where are the stars, rating a 5 anyway
I realized that I'm better off with hearts — because the stars only tell me how I'm doing, the hearts tell the world if people liked it!
Feel better Bill!! I also miss the stars!
As a former quality management consultant, the 5 Why's always worked for me!
OMG, I can't imaging having a baby at 58 let alone 100.

Can anyone be 100% certain Trump and Musk are not short selling the indexes to make millions?
I edited your comment for simplicity. I think you will approve!
“Everyone can be 100% certain Trump and Musk (and all their buddies)are short selling the indexes and making millions.”
There's an excellent book on this premise, "The One Thing" by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan
