Basically the reason blue collar jobs are demonized in the media is to trick us out of the massive wealth vehicle

An IE run and operated general contracting company is my ultimate dream

Build houses suited for our people at a profit when sold to outsiders and at cost for our folk

Lotta laws gotta change for that but it sounds good. Free association

What law is in place that you can’t sell houses at cost to people of your choice?

I am a suppoerter of forming various non-profit entities or quasi-religious organizations shielded from the govt like the amish, hutterites, and mennonites

@⚡Clark⚡ problems will start when you deny someone.

@Josh M. -OH you won’t deny someone business. You build their house for the typical 20% profit tacked on

"Welcome to Evropa contractors, 50% of all company profits go to the repulican party, how can I help you?"

90% of the problem evaporates

I still don’t see the need for a general contracting business for this @metasophocles

Well I hope to have a house at a decent price built for a large family, and keeping money in the family is always best

@metasophocles That's actually genius

@⚡Clark⚡do you mean a white people discount or friends and family?

@Josh M. -OH well it wouldn’t be an explicit “white people discount” it would be “I choose not to make a profit off this person”

Only an IE member discount, structured in a lending scheme that eliminates essentially all costs beyond materials ans labor

*qualified member financing

@metasophocles why not just turn IE into a mini bank at that point, For members only?

The right will need it's own bank soon enough.

A credit union would be an amazimg idea

Aside from profit there are no other costs then labor and materials @metasophocles

a co-op

That would completely divorce us from (((lendors)))

There’s nothing genius about it

PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, and some banks already refusing payment methods for lots of orgs they dont like.

There are overhead costs of course which would be fulfilled, but the profit component would be sacrificed for our people @⚡Clark⚡

If you want to build a house without paying a GC, then apply for an owner builder Permit and have your buddies help build it.

The idea here would also be a business to employ memebers

Ok I see

That makes sense

But where does th GC make his money?

Thats calculated into the overhead, any costs associated with the business are computed and amortized into a per unit basis

Profit comes from charging beyond the price of paying for everyones wages and the materials

@Josh M. -OH It's a bad day when that industry becomes political. The fact that PayPal bans orgs like Red Ice on a political basis is insane.

I feel like the opportunity for a "serves all" libertarian type business is very high in the tech sector right now

And that would serve our purposes very well

These are the rare times I think regulation is the answer.

Regulation certainly has its place in guaranteeing our rights

"Serves all" always turns into "serves right wingers" and becomes a target like gab or hatreon in my experience

If it isn't being used for illegal purposes you shouldn't get a say in what its spent on.

Until our views actually become illegal
