“Why wouldn’t a traditional corporation who gets into the bullet train market and builds tracks with slave labor be able to sell tickets for less and run you out of business?”

This I think is the greatest dilemma. Will the cost of being a green, socially responsible corporation that pays competitve wages be greater than the benefit derived from being able to sell at zero profits and have cheep financing?

I am not smart enough to run the statistical model to find out. My hunch is that it will work in some industries, not in others. Obviously any industry that heavily relies on outsourcing to China we probably cannot compete with. I don’t think the kind of American infristructure industries I am talking about targeting do this though.

“get some government subsidies with the help of lobbyist friends, which I believe all CEOs have, and sell for even cheaper?”

Also a good point. As long as our government is broken, I think that Kevporations will have to play the lobbying game as well to stay competitive.

I really think it is a great idea! Parker has made some good points though. I think it is going to run into the same problem other great economic ideas (communism) ran into and that is how fucking patheticly greedy human beings have become. Though I think after everyone loses everything they have in a few years it might make people take a good hard look and realize that maybe capitalism isn’t all that great after all. Maybe putting all the economic power in the hands of a few of the most greed motivated individuals isn’t such a great idea. We shall see.

- I will try and take a longer look at this later though

If we discover that it actually has holes – I will scrap my idea. I’m not convinced yet though.

Chainsaw, Cojo, Beasttubers… any insight?

No – managers are who are in demand. I am not in search of ideas – we already have them. We just need highly skilled and motivated people to carry them out. I am not trying to reinvent new industries or businesses, I am trying to take the ones that already exist, and apply a new business model to them to make them more successful.

“I would probably just quit instead of pay the loan back, there is no incentive to put in hard work or be inventive if anything went wrong.”

I don’t think there is a basis to this claim. The huge majority of Americans are not business owners, but are employees. You don’t have to have an ownership interest in a company to be incentivised to work hard.

“Isnt the collateral of the traditional business loan whatever the company owns? If the business doesn’t own anything then there would be much more risk that they don’t have anything to pay you back with, so ya… much more bad debt.”

Why doesn’t the business own anything? It is a regular business with assets just like any other business.

“I don’t think communists (who have similiar fund raising methods… submit an idea for a start up, dont own it, and get paid a standard rate) are much known for bringing for many inventive, bright ideas to the market.”

Again, I am not looking for ideas – just talented for people like ourselves. Hardworking, capable, and eager to work someplace that is committed to actually accomplishing something worthwhile, rather than my #1 goal being to manipulate arbitrary financial statitistics so that my boss can take home a bigger bonus.
