I don’t BUY that 100%
Number 1 it is non of your business. Number 2 the term “rich and wealthy” are subjective. Number 3 I am speaking of being rich from the operation of a business irregardless of ones wealth before the start of the business.
You are way beyond your depth here and really ought to go look up some stats on the relative wealth of business owners as compared to those not owning businesses.
Will you enforce this at gunpoint?
Are you a Tin Pot Dictator or do you just play one on Free Republic?
It’s kind of muddleheaded thinking to conflate net worth with liquidity.
The business may have a net worth a lot but it’s all tied up in inventory, equipment, buildings, credit, vehicles etc.
My dad owned a pretty successful business that employed about 100 men. When times got tough, guess who took the first pay cut. I was a kid but from what I remember, it was a very significant pay cut, like 50% or something like that. But the company stayed afloat and most employees stayed employed.
We were not rich by any means.
Of course they can’t do math, it was just a few weeks ago the biggest talking heads were proudly proclaiming on TV, how Bloomberg spent enough money on his campaign to give every person in the company $1,000,000 - that in a nutshell explains the liberal thought process and intellect.
make that ‘country’, not ‘company’
point in the direction of those who elected this commie morons...”
That would be Americans who voted liberal morons into office
...
Yes, thosr Americans, not these. What we have here is a failure to communicate. I choose to fight not be into self-loathing. I impress upon you again those who elected the Communist idiots are too blind and myopic see the ill fruits of their votes. They will do nothing but continue to blame us for it. They won’t even recognize it as a bad thing because the media will not let them. If you have trouble understanding that read it twice.
Bravo!
I don’t remember where i read it but the crux of it was..we can’t buy our way out of a recession / depression.
We MUST work our way out.
I think a one time stimulus package it fine..although, the one that past recently was about 3 or 4 times larger than it had to be.
FDR extended the recovery of the not so great depression by nearly a decade by using the government to buy our way out of it.
I kind of think the term, “illiterate” means that they don’t know. I think it’s deeper than that- they actually don’t know what they don’t know. In addition they were miseducated by book-smart idiots who were Communists- and still are communist. That’s the problem. They believe in we vs. them. And those who are rich communists (e.g., AOC, et al) don’t even see themselves as rich communists they just believe they have a right to keep what they have because they are in charge and they think they are smarter when in fact again they are too ignorant to know that they are stupid.
“Have you ever heard the expression, “We will get the government we deserve”?”
Yes, I am familiar with that expression, as well as many other well worn expressions. Just because a sentiment is repeatedly stated, does NOT make it true. Perhaps a bit of thinking and not repeating “expressions” might be in order!
A depression brought on by people this stupid in power as well as an orgy of stupidity and debt by consumers and corporations.
We must be in control.........................
Completely agree.
The first round hasn’t even kicked in and they’re already talking about another round. Instead we need to be focusing on opening up where we can (which is most of the country) with an eye to tamping down hotspots as they occur.
Everyone wear a mask and have their temperature taken before entering a building. COVID-19 cannot be completely eliminated but it can be managed with likely better results than the seasonal flu.
They are in government and money just appears like magic so cut them some slack Kurt. /s
No offense, but this idea is a non-starter. If this is what is required for people to enter work places and business establishments then we may as well keep everything shut down. Because a lot of people simply aren’t going to show up at work anyway under these conditions, and I can’t imagine any business opening tomorrow and getting many customers willing to subject themselves to this.
Wait until they require vaccination records...or antibody records.
If I worked in a cubicle farm I would expect them to do that until the organization was over 85% imminently.
Despite your objection I would like to know why you think the phrase “we get the government we deserve” is not accurate?
After all it is the very people we install in office who put in place the policies which have brought us to where we are today and have been in the past. That is not to say government is all bad all the time, it certainly is not but good or bad it is a government “by the people”. The problem is it is not always a government “for the people.
Any business — if there are any — that can legitimately require immunization or antibody records of its employees — is already doing that. Maybe there are companies involved in medical research in sterilized environments that can justify this. Anyone else who tries this is quickly going to be out of business.
I’ll have to go with Ron White on this one: “You can’t fix stupid.”
All you can do is try to find a way to be successful in a society whose government is always going to play to the whims of the stupid.
Successful small business owners are people with the ability to see a little further then the herd. One of the critical success factors is to develop an immunity to the resentments that will inevitably be flung at you by politicians and the employee caste, alike. Don’t waste time seeking public approval or sympathy - as many failed business owners do - just adapt and execute.
They need you - and because of that, they will never like you.
Umm, still didn't really answer the question.
