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
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%
Honestly I love working with companys that have "suicide protocols" some guys build the company so it can never be inverted or it literally kills the entire business
Used to be a tactic against unionist, but now its mostly a protection against hostile take overs
Once you are over 100 employees, there are a lot of problems you run into with government regulations, diversity measures, labor board, etc.
They might not be able to take your business but they can sue you into bankruptcy for tiny things
And the labor board always sides against business owners unless you provide incontrovertible proof of innocence.
Does anyone know if we have new norfolk people
@Alexander Pechorin wow, straight from pledge to patron, nice
