If I told people what I do it would be the same response I get but worse when I tell people who don’t have as good of jobs. But they ask. And I tell them. And then I start talking and it’s all of a sudden a shift of interest and they get defensive once the person who’s like a bartender hears what I do. So for me it’s stupid to judge people based on what they do because you aren’t the job. It’s just what you do. I have an understanding of that because I saw it when I was looking for a career job. And that’s what we have with a lot of these business owners who listen to every word Trump says like Harvey Updyke(roll tide) and don’t think a virus like this is real. FUCK YOUR BUSINESS. No one gives a flying fuckkk about your business with this shit going on....when you’re the type that thinks you are better than others because of it. You think they are the job and don’t realize it’s just what you do so you have a good year of business and think you are smarter than the rest of the world. It’s comical. I’ve seen this shit many times. I know this type. Clown city.

Mob, out of complete curiosity, do you work around other people day to day?

and there's no unemployment fund available to bridge a business owner to finding a next job if his business fails. the govt makes you pay into your federal unemployment and state unemployment insurance but if you own the business you can never collect $1 of it.

so while Kip's reliving his glory years of playing high school basketball as his main life achievement I can hardly remember even attending HS because I've accomplished too many things since those days. I played on a damn good HS baseball team but I wouldn't list that in any of my top 100 accomplishments while he highlights it as the apex of his life. some sad shit right there

Are there any small business loans that you can apply for? The State of Florida has something where you can borrow 50k interest free for a year if you have between 2 and 100 employees.

Every year, we have to pay in $42 in a federal umemployment fund for each employees plus additonal monies to the state unemployment fund. I'm wondering if our rates are going to be affected if employees file for UE (may be bad or not so bad b/c many are losing jobs)

Fuck these business owners. It’s capitalism. Someone will come in and replace you. Me.

But....Fuck these business owners saying open the economy back up because they are hurting and they don’t give a fuck about the safety of the public.

This is why they say “the virus isn’t that bad” is because really they’re hurting financially and they don’t give a fuck about the health of the country. Crazy shit. These are the people saying to open up the economy. I mean I understand it. I’d be mad too. But to lie and downplay the realness of the virus and how damaging it could be just so they can feel like choosing the economy over human life doesn’t make them feel guilty.

I got these clowns figured out. And yet they say “we have money stashed away we’re good.” If you’re good then you wouldn’t be making the case about your business over a potentially very deadly disease. Unless you’re just a major piece of shit.

so far the only thing PA has done is allow small businesses to lay people off without it affecting their SUI rate. I've told my people that I will need to look at this again next Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll hold off as long as possible but, fingers crossed, we're ok so far. it is nice to know that they'll be able to collect without it drastically raising my rate (never had a UI claim against me) which sticks with you for years, but so far so good

maybe i'll talk about my HS baseball career exploits to impress them? that could help and is clearly very meaningful to adults

I tip my cap to anyone who can successfully run their own business. It takes an incredible amount of dedication, patience and support and most end in failure. Kudos to those and their families who make it work.

sorry I make you sick

I was pulling in 32-40k from 2000-2005 after making a dramatic career change. then I jumped considerably from 2005 until mid-2007 leading a team for a large company. I went out on my own mid-2007 which, in my profession, was a terrible decision because the market tanked a year later. I made 10k in 2008 but put away enough from 2005-2007 that I was able to keep my business afloat, barely, until things got cooking in late 2009 and into 2010.

since then I've built a very successful business but one that is certainly tied to the economy so I just saw about 80% of my business fall off last week. But I've done extremely well and nothing has ever been handed to me. I start every year with $0 and eat what I kill...nobody pays me a salary, nobody pays my benefits, i'm 100% commission.

I bet on myself because I hate having a boss and i'm really fn good at what I do. that doesn't mean I will see another dollar of income this year and, if this shutdown continues, I will be laying off my entire team in April.

so if I make you sick then that's on you
Yeah, screw all the losers who make < 75k

Money gets stashed away.

However when you're used to making "x" every month and that number changes to 0 or very little, you then have to dip into your "stash". Then you have to start selling stocks and other assets.

You can still live, just cant live as comfortably as you were used you and its hard to continue your lifestyle.


Mob, i've been both and employee and an employer. Its more fun on the "other side".

I made less than $ 75,000, in 1994

Although we did struggle a tad when I first started business 25 years ago

I don't expect any financial assistance



In CT, most families, especially homeowners, make $ 75,000. It's really not fair to set a national standard, probably should be geographic standards

+1 Northeast got fucked

Sucks rest of the country hates us so there won't be much sympathy.

I just wouldn’t be downplaying this virus for the sake of my own pockets. That’s hella ignorant and selfish in itself. I know why though. It helps them not feel guilty when choosing the economy over a potential threat to millions of American lives.

and another reason why the 75k number is so preposterous. someone making 80k in santa clara is far worse off than 70k in orlando yet the orlando dude qualifies, the californian does not. just add them to the pile of folks the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis (thank Mr Pink for that beauty line)

just drawing a compensation line, like 75k, tells me how little they thought about this

Money gets stashed away regardless in any profession. To each their own.

I've said from the beginning that I was opposed to this massive welfare scheme and that I don't need a handout.

OTOH, Enfraudo made a dozen posts angrily attacking Dems for delaying his welfare checks. Then after its passage he suddenly claims he doesn't need it nor getting it right after being reminded he promised to sign it over to another poster. The pathological liar is gonna need his own website keeping track of all his lies soon.

I guess I made my point. What wrong with a forklift driver? Rolltide, banging his chest. I don't give a fuck what you do or how you got your money. Anybody can type on a keyboard. Having a lot of money is 90% luck. Being at the right place at the right time. I work my ass of every day, and it doesn't make anybody better just because you make more money. MOB, is right on, everything he said in this thread. This Virus has changed a lot about me. I can't believe how many assholes are on this site, ( ENFUEGO, RED EYE, HARRYCARRY, just to name a few.)

If you have a lot of money, it’s 90% luck? Did I read that right?

Good god.

Those guys you mentioned including Harvey Updyke couldn’t tell what was morally or ethically right in any situation unless Hillary Clinton was sending emails. Then they would know.
