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

But thats another rabbit hole entirely

I am all about reducing our financial fragility by any way we can

There is what should be and what is. Can't remember the name of the law that "businesses always become more left wing", since the 'unacceptable' opinion gets purged and the left wing opinion gets promoted. Mozilla is an example of a CEO who built everything getting removed for wrong think. Two options for payment processors: they become public services and regulated like phones, or right wing thought becomes more socially acceptable as left wing thought becomes less sociallly acceptable.

Neither is likely. Considering the only people who support regulation are right wingers, which means all libertarians will sperg out and divide the base. I shouldn't have to tell you why the second option is unlikely lol

All the same, we have to work in this world, and our business would almost without exception be explicitly "right wing" so I think pursuing multiple avenues of approach is the wisest path

How does someone even get removed from their own company?

Can't he just tell them to fuck off?

If your employees go on strike or your shareholders pressure you, you are EFFED mate

Depends on if he is technically an employee or an owner, a board or directors can dismis a CEO by firing him if he sold the majority of his company - protip never sell more than 49%
