lol. You have a Baby Boomer mindset. All the best ideas are taken and the little guy has no chance. That’s old fasion my FRiend. Service and innovation is where the newest small business ideas are today. But those businesses have to hire lawyers and accountants today if they plan to get any bigger than 2 or 3 employees.
When I was young nobody ever heard of most of those businesses, if they existed at all. People used to say nobody could compete with Sears and Montgomery Ward. Then K Mart replaced Sears as the biggest retailer, and people said that about them. Where are they now?
You’re ignoring all the willing hypocritical contributors to the tax-free zone known as the ‘internet’. That includes many FReepers. It is NOT ‘just’ Wall St...
