[Part 1 of 2]

Here are some yurts

As far as fixing things goes, and businesses: it's impossible to succeed without getting co-opted into the game, unless you're just running a small business (like plumbing). But even then, there are rules, and it's getting harder and harder even to do honest work as a small business owner. Still, that's the only way out as far as I can see. I don't know how old you are, but my advice to younger people is to get trained in a skill that is hard to automate and hard to offshore. Plumbing or nursing are good examples.

I'm not so much "afraid" of "graduating" to offworld (I used to be a big sci-fi fan), more that I see the whole idea as being more technophilia, propaganda for the technocratic police-state. Any technology entails a power-relationship, tools concentrate and redistribute power. For example, while you might view the automobile as a tool that gives you freedom to go anywhere you want, your freedom is limited by the existence of roads and gasoline, which are both controlled by someone else. And computers: yeah you can converse with strangers anywhere on the globe, but all the conversations are being recorded for later use. So you see? Meanwhile, traditional knowledge -- especially about important subjects like death -- is being lost.

Yeah I looked up what Yurt was earlier. I was just joking.

ok I think ya don't get it about the business ideas. That's because you're thinking like everybody else. You don't like any of that because of how corrupt it is.

I'm gonna be all over the place with this one here. lol

Small business stinks. They don't make money. If you'd make a real place where people would go, it would cost several million. Takes money to make money. That's why I'm trying to get a few M from the music and video.

You'd want to make your store look like how a national chain store does. But those suck. Anything to do with how companies operates is always stuck in the past. They do things the way others have. They're all the same. They never innovate and think of doing things in new ways. This is how you beat them.

Go into a store, think, ok this sucks. Lineups at the checkout. Look up, tacky fluorescent lights in your face. On and on and on, ok. If I could build my own one I'd do this or that. Any store, sucks, man. Like a supermarket, go in there, same way as it was in the 1950's. Somebody grabs something first thing in the morning, the shelf is empty for the day. Lost sales all day.

I get into that in one of the ideas. Basically, everybody hates the top and bottom shelves. Little old ladies can't reach the top, guys with bad backs don't even buy stuff down there. I thought of this pez dispenser idea where everything would be only in the middle shelf height. The stock is in the 2nd floor above you. That's all air space anyways in lots of supermarkets. Could even be skyscraper where all the stock is up there. When you grab something, another one is behind it like Pez candy. Comes from little elevator tubes in the ceiling. Robots up there deal with restocking it. Now, never an empty shelf. Way more room because you don't need it multiple items wide beside each other. They're always complaining about never enough room. Well, now you wouldn't have an empty spot ever, no top or bottom shelf. That's just one little thing. You analyze whatever company, you bet there'd be a lot more ways you could beat 'em. Nobody does though because it's never 1 guy in charge. It's all these boards and it's like voting. Nothing changes so it just stays the same.

Any place, you'd want it to look "futuristic" and "cool" compared to them. That's new technology lighting and metallic materials or something. Most product packaging "sucks" and you could do "cooler" stuff than them. You got yours besides their, yours is "cooler".

What business idea would I start with.. You want something where people buy it often and it's renewable. You don't want an object that nobody buys and it sits there for years.

I like the 24hr drive thru pizza slices. Nobody's doing that. Can't get pizza slices while driving. Plus what if I want some on my way to work. You wouldn't want to do a "drive thru" like them. Never enough real estate. This stupid little turn where you're now boxed in. Always waiting in line. Why you waiting in line? Because they're trying to save money. Office people thinking of new ways to tighten their belts. Oh here's only 1 napkin now with your sloppy chili. That's the best idea they could come up with to keep that stock graph pointing up.

They all try to keep that falsely inflated stock graph pointing up. This is why you have to remain a private company and not be like them. They're always greedy, so things cost the consumer a lot. Always all kinds of "middle-men" taking their cut. If you can get a company where you own all the processes along the way, now it's as cheap as it can be. Nobody does that though.. think heavy equipment, they don't mine for the metal, grow the rubber, or however you make it. Mine for the petroleum to make those tires. Now when you buy tires for your heavy equipment, you get ripped off by those guys. So your heavy equipment now costs 1M, when meanwhile it's just rocks that made the metal and rubber which grew for free. It's all fucking free but now it costs an M. That's like houses. Wood is trees, cement, is rocks. But it costs 10M.

I like the meat idea. That's a fairly easy one to control everything. All they do is eat grain or grass. Well, you don't wanna pay no farmer for feed because he takes his cut and it costs you more. You get into the farming. Now it's just stuff that grows for free. Where's your costs coming from now.. well always the petrol. There's another way. Look into the "alcohol can be a gas" guy. Alcohol. They're making it from things like cattail weeds and grass clippings. You can grow this and it's all free. So free gas now. With this idea, you could even ship from overseas for free. Then you don't have to pay any of all that. You're still having to pay for the heavy equipment though. You'd have to get into manufacturing that and the boats if you do overseas.

I like the robots cause huge problem is damn union wages. Well cut 'em all out. Ya already got the self driving vehicles. Mining trucks hauling rocks are automated with no drivers.

Now where your expenses. The damn government taking 50%. Now ya gotta work around that. Make your own country. Could maybe buy a chunk of land from Russia. Later might be able to buy a 3rd world country. Where you'll probably have problems shipping from overseas is the damn tariffs. They'll still make your product cost a lot. Whatever. If you own your own country and don't charge taxes, the people can move there. Robots would build the cities for free. Roads, sewers, buildings.. all rocks and glass and free. No need for taxes.

You'd get all the objects, buildings, roads, skyscrapers, for free.. you've still got a problem with jobs where humans gotta deal with the situation. Things like doctors, teachers, cops, judges, etc. Now ya gotta pay people money to work the job. I don't like any of that because now you gotta sell stuff to make money and somebody's gotta buy it. Meanwhile, objects are free, so who's gonna be buying stuff where you could make money to pay these people with.

This idea about at least fixing how governments are going bankrupt would only work in the current society where people work jobs and buy stuff. The reason governments are going bankrupt is because where they spend the money from taxes, costs a lot. That's damn wages. You can deal with the heavy equipment costs. But it's a problem with wages. Now it's the same issue as these union wages.

You have to stop the bankrupting governments though. So where you spend the money going out, has gotta go down. These people can't get paid as much as they do. They'd have to get paid minimum wage. How could you do that and they'd still work. Well free housing, vehicles. You'd own the university so free schooling. All that scientific research equipment you'd make from scratch so, free there. You're the government so don't have to pay 50% in taxes. At least you could get the expenses down to a minimum. But I don't like wages because now you gotta make money somehow. If you take out the humans, all objects can be free.

Let's get back to basics though. Once you get into the heavy equipment manufacturing.. mine the rocks to make the metal. Glass is made from sand. Whatever the components are, you own every step. No damn middle-men charging you money. So things can be cheaper. Now it's way cheaper for the consumer.

For your pizza.. you'd want to get into whatever ingredients are costing you, manufacture that. What is it, dough, cheese, tomato sauce, pepperoni. Sounds like things you could do by growing. Then the animals for the meat and cheese. Anybody who's trying to run a business, even walmart, they lose because these companies who make the products always charge them way too much. Why do they charge a lot, because they gotta get parts from other people who take their cut. You have to get around all that.
