This is why anti-monopoly legislation is horse shit. The only people who complain about monopolies are small, inferior, less-efficient businesses. They're the reason why anti-trust legislation came about in the first place.  Why would you want smaller, inferior, less-efficient businesses in the first place? Let market forced dictate who is best. Competition will either create a new market or successful business, or force the monopolies to innovate to keep up.
If your business is sex trafficking then maybe you deserve to be prosecuted.  BTW, do you have this much problem reading in general. He did not say small businesses are outliers. He said there are outliers among small businesses.
Isn't that why it basically failed in it's beginning?  Most people didn't buy into it.  IMO most products the fail to live up the hype die a horrible death and are never seen again.  Just so happens that the Segway actually has an applicable use, even if the original marketing push was in the wrong direction.
"This is because in the past 10 years, every fucking clothing store started putting their logo and some stupid number.  ""GAP 1969"" Because retro became cool FOR A MINUTE.  But these businesses are so reactive they were bound to take it to the fail point."
Not really. I benefit from the very rich and so do you. 2/3 of the 1% are self-made or semi-self made billionaires, and we all benefit from the technologies, businesses, and organisations etc. they have created and continue to create. They are some of the most productive people on earth.  Secondly, by investing their assets - they enable other's to get investments for their businesses to grow, because they are willing to take risks, most of us can't or won't. You can rob them once for a small time gain, many countries have attempted this, and then found out with the smartest people disincentivized to work, the country grinds to a halt, and slips towards poverty.
Ah, so GS didn't tell its customers to sell stocks.  Businesses aren't concerned about healthcare, the EPA and the NLRB.  Healthcare isn't about to get tossed by the SC.  And Fast &amp; Furious wasn't a way to change gun laws. (Try to compare it to Wide Receiver and I guarantee you'll fail like the typical liberal idiot you are.)  Oh, and I didn't get downvotes because people think I'm a republican. LOL  Why do liberals simply ignore facts?  This president is a complete failure and Romney is the only choice we have. Sorry you can't handle the truth.  Worthy only of mockery, you shall be laughed at for the next 2 seconds.
Of course you wouldn't, and of course data is incredibly important.  What I'm saying is that you at least have access to rudimentary data about what people are interested in, public data sources, etc that didn't even exist in the past.  In the past, small businesses were flying incredibly blind.  The data small businesses do have access to today didn't even exist except in either very expensive data collection firms or in hard to get physical records in the past.  A small company is never going to have the resources of a large one - at any point in history
Quite the opposite, crony capitalism has caused all of these problems.  Big cable? Subsidized.  Big oil? Subsidized.  Big banks? Bailed out.  And the tax code changes they're putting through now, why do you suppose this is being done? The US has the highest statutory corporate rate in the developed world, on small and large businesses. This is anti-competitive because in order avoid steep rates you need to hire big teams of tax lawyers, accountants, and other overhead to handle the paperwork and manage liability for you. Not only that, but its to the point now where most business decisions are not undertaken with the heath of the company in mind, but with great consideration to how it will effect the company's tax liability.
It really confuses me how businesses and politicians fail to see how much of a problem this is, even beyond issues is social inequality. An economy in which the middle class is earning less is an economy with less growth potential.   When a company is squeezing employee wages, on par with other businesses, the end result is a smaller pie for them to carve out. The look at their immediate bottom line in which the weight if wages has gone down, but fail to see that they have weakened the market (for broad-based, community serving markets, at least), and so are shrinking demand.   Even if you assume that only 80% of those $93 Billion are for low and middle class wages, that is still $74 billion less demand.   For decades we've heard that the middle class is what fuels the economy, yet the fact that the wages if the middle class are waning are seen as trivial and nothing to worry about...
Correct me if I am wrong (and I know you will), but in an economy where most consumers have more debt than savings, I fail to see how moderate inflation is a bad thing. Higher wages negate higher prices, and lower debt burdens free consumer demand.   Why are there always people in freak out mode if it looks like inflation may occur even slightly?
&gt; The best most funded system in the world would fail if the students resist being taught and sabotage those that do want to learn  I love how education can get away with this attitude.  How many products, if they fail to deliver change, get to blame the consumer?
For some reason, I've always had a negative feeling about Chase; I don't really know why, but I think I'll continue to avoid them.  :)  My banks seem to be West Coast banks, mainly Wells Fargo who I've used since the 70s (because they had a small branch in Yosemite Valley, a place I frequented at that time).  I haven't had as much luck with other banks, mainly HSBC which I used briefly.  Maybe the west coast banks are more laid back or something.    Or maybe it's just Chase being incompetent.  Banks like that deserve to fail.
"I don't think so. There is a provision in ObamaCare called ""community rating"" that applies starting in 2014. Insurance companies must place individual and small group plans into a pool of people from the same geographical region. The same plan must cost the same for all small businesses from the same region. So having employees who have high costs will not significantly affect the company's cost; it will get factored into the cost for all people in the area; but the effect gets averaged out over all businesses and individuals who have plans."

Got it. I can definitely see how it can come across that way especially with all of these big tech companies lining up against the proposal. My understanding is that a lot of that is more driven by their size than anything else; the media focuses on the impacts to Amazon and Facebook because they're huge companies and it's easier to get information on them.  But when it comes to who would get hurt the most by removing NN, it's actually small businesses and startups that would suffer the most. In a world without net neutrality, ISPs would be able to provide access to web services at different speeds. For example, if you are a Comcast customer, if Comcast has a deal with Amazon Prime, they can make it so that your access to competing services like Netflix and Hulu are throttled -- moving so slow that it will be hard to use anything other than Amazon Prime Video.  Now, if that happens, it will be annoying for companies like Facebook, Netflix, Google, etc. to have to pay extra for internet users to be able to use them. But they could do it; they have the money. The people who would struggle are people who own smaller businesses and smaller websites; when they're just starting out, they won't have the money to pay the ISPs to let people access them, and as a result they could be essentially locked out of many marketplaces. This is the argument made by people who say that removing net neutrality will stifle small business; removing the regulation would create this built-in structural advantage for large, established businesses and leave smaller businesses locked out.
"&gt; No, what he's talking about are forums and other social sites that are too small to police all of the content their users post. He's saying that they are as guilty as the criminals you're speaking of.  Still no. You start off with ""no"" and then admit he was not talking about all small businesses. Now you claim that all small tech businesses are going to get involved in sex trafficking.  &gt;I, however, am an expert on the subjec  So are they publishers or common carriers?  &gt;He's saying that Google and Facebook and similar large corporations are legitimate, and all ""independent"" or small business competitors to them are criminals.

No, we did not apply for the loan. So, this is why we thought it was a bit strange a company just sending you a real check for $30K. It does not say anywhere in big red letters that it is a loan. Probably something in very small letters on a back of a paper.  This is really horrible. Especially,if your customers do pay you by check and small business relies on online statement to determine who paid what. I can easily imagine a small outfit that just takes all the checks to the bank, cash them, and then use online statement to update their books.   I do not see how it is helpful to businesses to receive pre-approved credit that is so poorly marked. Especially in the age of electronic transfers!!!  I am trying to understand why I feel so offended by this, and I guess it all comes down to disgust: I refuse to believe that any serious company would use these sort of tactics and instead of us spending more time developing a better product, we have to put more time and effort into ensuring we do not fall victim to this.
I worked in IT for a small bank a few years ago and most of our ATMs were still running OS/2! Why? Because they still worked. Most companies don't have the budget to upgrade 100s of ATMs every few years and unless they are required to will run them into the ground.
Discount brokers come and go. They tend to come with ridiculously cheap prices, and they go when they fail to gain traction, or raise their prices, at which point they can be undercut by a new player. Some brokers are nicer to people with more money, while others cater to small traders on simple low commissions. No matter which broker you choose, you aren't liable to make much money doing frequent trades with a small account. You either risk most of your money on every trade, or several small trades get sapped by commissions. It is understandable that you want to pay less given the disadvantages of a small account.  Just2Trade, USAA, Sogotrade, etc. have each been reasonable options in the < $4 a trade range. Many websites will give you a list of the top discount brokers of the year. As with any heavy discounter/deal that is too good to be true, find reputable referrals from people who use the service, and complaints from customers who have been burned.
&gt; Every Yelp businesses gets same Yelp treatment.  This statement is untrue. I want people to see something fun.  I live in LA and am on Yelp quite a bit. After having used Yelp for years, I needed to buy a particular couch. That got me into looking for interior designers, and I stumbled upon this wonderful person:  http://www.yelp.com/biz/asd-interiors-burbank-2  Wow - one star. That's horrid. Why would I ever **20 filtered reviews**. Uh. Ok - let's see what happened here.  *20 five star reviews, written at different dates and times by different people who are clearly not bots. The only non-filtered review is a one-star review.*  Yelp is one of the most evil businesses I've ever seen, because they've so casually buried her. You could make a case for many of those 5 star reviews - they're all the only review the person has ever posted, etc. But I see a few in there from people with MANY reviews and MANY friends. Those aren't fake, and there's NO WAY you could have designed a filter to remove them automatically. Look at the review by Monica A. Tell me that a filter caught that review.  Yelp, as a business, intentionally sinks small businesses if they don't agree to the shakedown. It's amazing to see it so clearly. Hope you enjoy the example.
big banks are not the only Big Money out there.  In fact, big banks have way more oversight than most other businesses.  Everyone uses banks for most things.  It's kind of hard NOT to these days.  But banks are built to handle money.  That's what they do!  Of COURSE banks are almost always involved in everything that requires money.  I don't understand why you brought this up at all.  It doesn't really support your point, and has little to do with my point.
They forgot some important steps.  1) Send white guys who speak fluent Mandarin. Have them pretend they only speak english. The Chinese will chatter away in Mandarin right in front of you, talking about how they are going to cut corners and screw you over. Have your guys report back and make the appropriate corrections.  2)Pay a white guy to sit at the factory while your run is being done.  He should spend most of his time at QC. When they build an electronics test rig and 1 out of 10 tests passes, that is not a pass. According to China, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, pass means it is good.   3)Hire a trade agent! There are people who do this for a living with smaller runs when you can't afford to send a babysitter. China is a tangled web of tiny scams and they are working for you, not the factory. Local contacts go a long way.  4) Overbuy. You need 45,000 products? Order 60,000 or more. The defect rate is higher than you think it is. Plus you are paying for the sea can one way or another. It's easier if it's full.
"Once again, do you have any specific reason why you think bitcoin wont succeed? ""you guys"" never have any real arguments as for why bitcoin will fail, and if you look at the facts, bitcoins are worth more now than they have ever been. You can believe whatever you want, but the market has spoken"

He's saying that they are as guilty as the criminals you're speaking of.

He's saying that Google and Facebook and similar large corporations are legitimate, and all ""independent"" or small business competitors to them are criminals.  This is black and white. You're either one of the good guys or you aren't. Small business and equal opportunity are what America has always been about. If you are an enemy to those ideals then you are an enemy of America."
Sony has been doing this for years and nobody complains. But I do see the point, it keeps companies like WalMart and Best Buy from destroying small businesses.  Ohio does the same thing with beer and cigarrette prices.
My father owns a small business that employees ~50 people. He's been in business for over thirty years as an agricultural establishment. Because the threshold on Obama care for small businesses to pay for employee coverage is 50+ employees we will have to fire people who don't deserve to be fired - all because we could not possibly afford an additional 50-60k per month expense for covering all employees healthcare
I think the biggest issue here is why are employees still dependent on their jobs to order to receive health care? Why should businesses be responsible for providing this?   What needs to happen in order for us to free businesses from this burdensome requirement? Single payer? Insurance sales across state lines? The number one problem here is cost of medical plans, how can that be lowered?
One factor I haven't seen mentioned is volume.  Suppliers will charge a slightly lower price to the station if they buy in full tanker truck loads instead of smaller quantities.  Where I am this is probably still the largest factor in price spread with all newer bigger stations being 20-30 cents cheaper than the old small ones (often a repair shop with 2 pumps out front); the only reason it's slowly becoming less pronounced is that the old small stations are steadily closing up as their tanks fail leak inspections because they don't sell enough gas to justify repair and replacement.
First of all, consult an accountant who is familiar with tax laws and online businesses. While most accountants know tax laws, fewer know how to handle online income like you describe although the number is growing. Right now, since you're a minor, this complicates things a bit. That's why you'll need a tax accountant to come up with the best business structure to use. You'll need to keep your own records to estimate your quarterly taxes. At the amount you're making, you'll want to do this since you'll pay a substantial penalty at the end of the year if you don't. You can use a small business accounting software package for this or just track everything using Excel or the like.  As long as taxes are paid, you won't go to jail. But you need to pay them along with any penalties by April 15, 2013. If you don't do this, then the IRS will want to have a 'discussion' with you.
I think it has more to do with a sizable amount of students have no interest in learning. The best most funded system in the world would fail if the students resist being taught and sabotage those that do want to learn
one of the major backbones of domestic transit in the US is the highway system. No businessman wanted to touch that until the government decided to pitch in and do most of the work.   Would businesses make infrastructure if they had to? Yes. Would it benefit all users equally and would they allow anyone (including competitors) to use the infrastructure they built? Not likely.   These are some reasons why some items like infrastructure do not work as well as fully private companies.
The new minimum wage hike in Oregon is putting strain on small businesses. $11.40 is a ridiculous high wage and is forcing many businesses to under staff and raise prices on everything dramatically. Gas here is up $.30 since the hike July 1st. A minimum wage hurts the poor, the uneducated, and the less skilled by forcing them out of the workforce. Not all people are worth $11.40 an hour.

"&gt; I've seen it happen to hundreds of independent retailers who are in their senior years. Cost overhead is up, margins are down, why put yourself through the stress for less and less??  Yeah, that's Obama and the economy alright. Not just regular ""being burnt out"". Making room for motivated young entrepreneurs and small business owners is such a horrible thing.  I imagine you're seeing this trend with young business owners too right? No? People are still starting businesses, being profitable and succeeding? Oh well, the government is still around to blame!"

"&gt; No, it's realistic to try...  I disagree.  I think most minimum wage people would better off investing in lottery tickets.  (And I think lotteries should be illegal).  &gt; I'm not 100% on clear on why some new businesses succeed and some fail.  Let me give you some reasons why a minimum wage person will almost certainly fail when trying to start a business:  * No skills -- If they had skills to offer they wouldn't be making minimum wage.  * No product -- Few minimum wage workers are in positions where they are working with a product they have the ability to improve, a-la Eli Whitney.  This means any company they start would need to be selling a skill, not a product, but then see ""No skills"".  * No business savvy -- A business takes a minimum of three diverse skill sets (administration, marketing, product).  Again, ""No skills"".  If this person did have some skills (s)he would still need friends to fill in the gaps.  * No time -- Many people working minimum wage have other responsibilities (kids or second jobs).  They simply do not have the cycles to invest in a new business.  * No starting capital -- Since they work minimum wage they have no money.  With no money they can't afford tools needed to make or provide their product.  The also can't afford to go without a paycheck as the business ramps up.  * Barriers to entry -- Existing companies will defend their customers and protect their market share.  The local store will chase you away if you try to sell lemonade in front.  You would need to buy a storefront or booth but ""No starting capital"".  In addition, any good storefront or booth is already taken by the bigger guys so you're going to get poor traffic in whatever you get.  * Bad information -- There are many companies whose business is to take advantage of low-wage entrepreneurs and push terrible ideas.  These people become disillusioned pushing bad products or getting into multilevel marketing schemes."
Who the hell earns a billion a year? You might have assets equal to a billion but aside from a very few individuals, billionaires are usually +/- a small percentage of their net worth unless something drastic happens to businesses they own.
"The basic idea is that the average person can't deduct health care costs unless they're really onerous. But a business can, and as a self-employed person, you can deduct those costs from the businesses earnings... as long as the business is really generating enough profit to cover the health insurance costs. That's why most people get their health insurance from their employer, actually. The relevant IRS rules say: ""You may be able to deduct premiums paid for medical and dental insurance and qualified long-term care insurance for you, your spouse, and your dependents if you are... A self-employed individual with a net profit reported on Schedule C (Form 1040)."" For 2010, thanks to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, you can even deduct the premium from your income before deducting the self-employment tax (Source). I'm sure that when you get your tax returns and instructions for 2010 this will all be spelled out."
