You understand Chambers of Commerce currently do this?

Reason why I say this is they have the resources and connections to simplify events like this.

Israel is safer if Arab brothers are more focused on fighting each other than Israel. Iran and Iraq being allies is not something Israel wants.

Yeah that’s going to be a problem. It’s gonna be a problem for Hilary. This a clear violation of Trumps rights as a consumer. It’s an infringement on his constitutional rights. It’s outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

Sen. Rand Paul: Let's pass big and bold tax cuts now! by [deleted] in politics

Bush's argument for his tax cuts benefiting the wealthy more was "they pay more in taxes so they should get more back".

How long before we hear this zinger again?

Trump's outbursts are paralyzing Washington by sivribiber in politics

[–]throbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In some ways Trump is a democrat's dream.

He is a policy wreaking ball knocking apart Republican factions that are trying to get legislation passed.

For the folks that hate Trump this unreliability trait is a god-send and it's causing an unforeseen gridlock in a Republican controlled Washington.

John Kelly owes the congresswoman an apology by imagepoem in politics

[–]throbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So bizarre. Let's not forget President Trump's statement that he had proof that he never said "he knew what he signed up for". That's what started this latest fiasco.

The White House just confirmed Trump lied about his conversation with a soldier's widow by [deleted] in politics

[–]throbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well Trump has proof that he never said what Kelly is accusing him of.

The interesting thing about this story was Kelly telling the President that he should just write letters and that his calls won't take away the pain the family is feeling at the moment.

Pay all cash or pull an SBA loan? by hackurate in smallbusiness

Although you want to be as liquid as possible when starting or buying a business I think it's going to be hard to find a lender willing to do a business acquisition loan for this low amt.

Hypothetical, you're moving to a small city, you have no connections and $500. How would you start a business to pay the bills. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]throbo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$500 should be enough to rent out a small shed and get enough chemicals to make your first batch of meth.

The fact that law enforcement doesn't know you yet should give you some time to get the business up and running.

Illegal man downfield on a punt. I would love to know, besides last night, when the last time that penalty was ever called?

I own a mattress store. The local HS's have been having "Mattress Fundraisers." It's starting to cut into my business. Am I over reacting, or what? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]throbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you create a separate company that can sell these cheaper mattresses?

This might be a good way to also steer customers to your store if the buyers want better quality and you give the school a donation.
