excuse me, very little does

Lack of capital, lack of production line, and more than likely, regulation

that's a very good point

so the issue is: How do you raise capital for a corp?

production line comes from capital

regulation can come from within the company

oops, typo fixed

Not everyone can afford to invest you fucking autist. This is literally what makes people *Hate* the system you seem to support because they cannot get ahead. Konot is losing his home and risking life and limb. I'm losing my home and scrambling to find one. How dare you sit there and say "Have you not a dollar? Why, you should invest it!" That's retarded. Given the choice between a stock that might pay out or might fail altogether against actually being able to eat and afford my needs? I'll chose the latter thank you. Put your faith in banks and stocks. If financial collapse hits, itll be the poor coming after your blood and after the blood of those that betrayed our very life for the Almighty Dollar.

I should've been clearer in my statement. Regulation as in government regulation; I don't know for certain, but I'm almost positive that there are government regulations in place that make it difficult for a truly workers run business to come to fruition

Also, Deaths Head, just to be clear since I know I haven't updated people much? But it's no longer a losing my home situation. I HAVE lost my home

Just wanted to be clear

I think that so long as everyone is on the ownership contract, it works out. Granted, the contract/legality isn't gonna be easy

That simply strengthens my point.

wait you guys owned homes?

I rented with my mom... and now I can't do that anymore. Trying to live with her means costs go up and we can't afford food

Same here.

no apartments?

and you don't wanna move?

There are none we can afford.

no roommate options?

Even with room mates the costs are still too high

^

I'm very skeptical of that :/

I can't speak for @Foxhound but around here, you need at least 90k a year AFTER taxes just to survive

that's pretty expensive, is there literally NOWHERE you can go?

no friends, contacts?

you're not applying to other jobs elsewhere?

Yeah. There is somewhere I can go... Parris Island, SC

Same here.

oh hey I worked there lol

that's funny

You were a Marine?

well if you like the risk associated with it, then go for it

no, installed a backup battery for the base

My mother can't afford a house unless I'm with her. And combined our income is over 60k at least.

@CatLoverKid you don't understand. It's the only choice I have left.

If I don't, that's it. No opportunities elsewhere are left

have you been applying to jobs the entire time that are in areas you can afford?

there are ALWAYS opportunities

Yep

And no
