Stupid GMO food companies, developing food that can grow in arid regions and resist pests. You know who else wanted to feed people?

Yes, they are responsible to keep all they can and operate efficiently but that is not the same thing as not hiring more people. When a company is unsure how an economy or economic policies are going to impact their business they will automatically become more conservative financially. Let me break this one down for you also. It I bring in $1M in profit this year and I want to grow my business, I can reinvest some of that money into the business by way of infrastructure, facilities, people, etc. If the government passes legislation that is going to take my profit from $1M to $250K I am not going to reinvest much, if any, since I still need to make a profit to be a viable company. Now if I don't have any form of realistic picture of what government policies are going to be coming down the road in the short term that may impact me, I am not going to reinvest any additional money until there is a sense of stability. Also, just so you understand, YES, a company does make a profit and they should. Any company that doesn't turn a profit is either 1) a Non-Profit organization or 2) going out of business. It is not the primary purpose of a business to create jobs, but a successful and unimpeded business will create jobs as well as profit as it is a mutually beneficial situation. You can say it is BS but I have met with 20+ small business owners that have said the EXACT same thing. They are holding onto cash right now because they don't know how Obamacare and other legislation is going to impact them. This is the reality even if it doesn't fit your perception. Quote:
It's very easy to be envious and make a demon out of a rich person because they have money and you want money. To further that cause, you make outlandish statements and try to conjurer up the idea that all wealth is evil (unless you would have it). You hear some moron twist data and then repeat it like it is fact while having no actual notion for how shit really works. If you basis is youtube video's, you are already screwed. | ||||

Again, 'the stock market is mostly up because the 1%ers felt like playing with thier money'. Again, a fun statement but unfounded and no real data to support this other than if furthers your perceptions. Yes, the crash showed major problems in the financial sector, the housing market is not yet recovered, the jobs market is not yet recovered, but know what you are talking about before painting a picture of a poor old lady that was forced to work at walmart because her retirement was annihilated. It may have altered her plans, but if she was 5 years out from retirement she was likely shielded by much of the losses due to being diversified into less-volatile securities and assets. Quote:

Stock market growth from 1980 to 2007 is 1400%. Which is also a bit under 400% after inflation. Strange how the people who's income is heavily from the stock market have grown at a similar rate to an overall stock index fund in the timeline you mentioned while the people that are not categorical investors have grown at a more modest rate.
If there is one thing your chart proves, it is that wealthy people are evil. | ||
