DCB, I want it. Where are these people? Seriously.
MM has the smarts, the ideas, the energy, and the passion to go for it with a business idea she has been trying to make real for a while. She needs concrete information about finance to make her business idea viable.
‘as long as you continue to see “business” as
a an amorphous blob of nasty, hell bent on
destroying the individual
instead of the economic arm of real life
human endeavor
you will continue to be puzzled and angered
by your position outside of it.”
That isn’t what she said, Legion.
What she said was business is out for business- that’s a fact and how business functions. Or did you think Goldman-Sachs really cared more about the average worker than its own bottom line?
“parksloper,
well, we’ll have to start by cutting our population by 90% and increasing our suicide rate by 90% cause that’s what’s going on over there.”
Good point re population. No question that effective, “big” government is easier in countries with small populations. However, they’re doing a pretty good job in larger countries like France and Germany in maintaining an effective social safety net, along with reasonable economic growth and general safety/security … and no, I’m not trying to start a larger argument about Europe vs. America.
The notion, however, that the suicide rate in Scandinavia is at some ghastly high rate compared to the US and other countries — and that, somehow, the social democratic model is responsible for it — is a myth. According to a list compiled by the World Health Organization in 2008, the three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) rank 29 (Sweden), 38 Norway) and 43 (Denmark). The United States ranks 41, so we’re in the same general range.
It’s not illegal to travel to Cuba. it is illegal for US carriers to go there. two completely different things. Same was true when I was visiting Vietnam in the 90s.

Except for any of my posts that are longer. Those ones are exempt.

Posts should be cut off at 75 words. If you can’t boil it down to 75 words or less you probably don’t understand it.
