10. Small business isn't absurd! I had a small business for over thirty
Edited on Sun Dec-26-10 10:14 AM by snappyturtle
years. It morphed several times during that period but I survived and was extremely happy working like a dog for myself rather than a big corp.

It isn't small business that is absurd but rather Wall Street, the dubious banking sector monsters and the defense industry, et. al. After all, don't large businesses look for ways to market themselves into our lives to create that personal feeling that innately belongs to small business? People will turn to themselves to create the 'missing' jobs. Matter-of-fact, I'm involved today in forming another small business with my daughter and son....they've come to a point that I came to years ago: I'd rather depend on myself than on the whims of big business. imho

edit: What's your solution? I'm not trying to be snarky. I just wonder what would be better.
