How does the Economy Work? Economics Unleashed: Powering Your Business and the World
CHATThanks for starting the thread @Antifragile A couple things here: @heavy_industry , I have thought about a related concept lately, gold vs fiat vs crypto ... Now, I am not a bitcoin nut, but some people say "bitcoin has no real value, because there is nothing backing it". Well, there is also...- jdm667

Opportunities in Food Business Entrepreneurship: Don't Dismiss It.
NOTABLE! ASSERTIONI have been hearing a lot about elderberry lately. Tea, gummies, jam/jelly, syrup, juice and so on. It has to be cooked before consuming, but it is supposed to have numerous health benefits: -antibacterial and antiviral -good for respiratory ailments -helps regulate blood sugar -more...- jdm667

ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer
HOT! CHAT - AI -Undoubtedly. Running the servers is probably costing way more than they thought. Now they know why Google limits the crawl budget for indexing websites. Unrealistic income and expense projections is probably a big part of why Sam Altman is gone.- jdm667

SEM (SEO & Paid Search) Mastermind
HOT! CHAT SPEEDWAYInteresting. Maybe Google sees the homepage as the more holistic and complete result for that service, since it also mentions and links to the other two service pages (which I assume are closely related). Is it possible that people who search for service A actually want service B or C, but they...- jdm667

HOT! CHATOn one hand, I am jealous of kids today that can learn so much on YouTube, etc. That didn't exist before I went to college. On the other hand, there are so many distractions online - I am surprised kids can learn anything now.- jdm667

One of the biggest mistakes of big thinkers
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETI think this is a huge reason people never start a business - or, why they fail. They see a small task and think "No big deal, I'll just skip it." Or, worse, "That task is beneath me." But it's never one task skipped. It always turns into more. Inevitably, those undone tasks add up and hurt...- jdm667

[PROGRESS THREAD] (24 y/o) Sick and cognitively impaired for 2 years... Doing the work anyway
HOT! EXECUTIONI remember following your other thread about the agricultural website a few years back. I didn't know you had this thread until today. Nice work on the website growth, especially with limited time to devote to it! It reminds me of when MJ sold the limo business, then bought it back again later...- jdm667

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATSounds about right. I worked at a corporate job for about a year, then switched to a different one. I simply thought the first job was not right for me. After a year at the second job, I left that one also. The problem was not the companies or the jobs. The problem was that I don't fit into...- jdm667

HOT! CHATVery true - those who know how to wield the capital will end up with more of it. From a math perspective: people who are better at investing and allocating capital will get a higher rate of return on their money. So, even if you equalize everything today, the people getting the highest rate of...- jdm667

Stock Market Discussion, Chat About the Latest Market Action
HOT! CHATI think this is the true reason that so many bosses are insisting on return to work. Deep down, they know there will be systemic problems otherwise. Like you said: commercial RE, residential RE, supporting retail spaces, restaurants - they're all intertwined. A lot of people think "real estate...- jdm667

Stock Market Discussion, Chat About the Latest Market Action
HOT! CHATSo on-time inventory destroyed demand for warehouse space in the 90's - just like covid and remote work destroyed demand for office space recently. It sounds like AI might have the same effect now as PC's had in the 90's: lots of jobs gone. If AI destroys as many jobs as predicted, that will...- jdm667

Stock Market Discussion, Chat About the Latest Market Action
HOT! CHATDo you think the office building crunch is worse now than it was in the 90's? A 40% drop in revenue for NYC means lots of municipal layoffs, then people not paying their rent/mortgages, eventually causing problems in the residential market as well. Like dominoes...- jdm667
