That probably wouldn't make them much worse at the game.I'm not very good at baseball, but that doesn't mean I want to castrate those that are good at it.

Why should I give two rat turds what Europeans think of my country?
Small business owners work by day, administrate by night and spend time with their family on weekends. It's not something cut out for everybody as it demands a certain type of person.
About half of new businesses fail within the first five years and two major problems in small businesses is (a.) poor management and (b.) insufficient operating funds. Not everyone is cut out to run their own business -- so does that mean you have to abolish business?

(Here's a hint: Whole Foods got started with 20 people pooling their money. And it's now a profitable company in several American states)
And almost everybody does have money. I'm shocked I didn't see that earlier. You and others are predicating your entire argument on a false premise--that almost everybody is flat-out penniless.money which they already had. Cant pool money you dont have (unless you commit robbery or something)
Random side note: instead of slaving for an employer, and instead of starting up a commercial farm, you could simply grow food for yourself. Hell, my family did that when I was younger. Total cost for the backyard garden: maybe fifty bucks a year. Seeds, monthly water bill, and a wooden trestle for the tomatoes to grow on. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying tomatoes at the corner store. Tastier, too.About half of new businesses fail within the first five years
Thank you. But no, I was never a games tester. I think I mentioned already--games testing sucks. You're playing broken games. If they weren't broken you wouldn't have to test them. The game is much more fun when I'm playing the not-broken version, while sitting on my fat lazy ass in a leather recliner, in MY HOUSE instead of an office, sipping a Dr. Pepper, and eating cheese puffs (except the cheese flakes get all over the mouse)BasketCase is a super intelligent dude.
It's only silly if you equate working for yourself to earning billions. Microsoft is merely a possibility, not a guaranteed outcome.Is that what I said? No, it is not. I was simply noting that the attitude displayed by many here, that working for someone else is your own fault because you can always go start your own business and make millions just like Bill Gates is extremely silly, since most people can't do so.

What's with the discussion about starting new businesses?
Two fold, 1) Is Microsoft a realistic business model to emulate? NO
2) How likely are new start-ups to succeed? Not likely.
It all started from the batty suggestion from BasketCase (apt name methinks) that people in the current economic climate should use their savings to buy land and start farming. When Aimee stated the preposterousness of this notion, he/she (?) then claimed that since Microsoft started out of a garage (ignoring the fact that Microsoft started from stealing an idea Apple stole of Xerox) we should all be able to start businesses out of garages and emulate Bill Gates.

It's not just in modern times. It has always been defined this way.It seems in modern times, decline is a relative term, meaning approximately, continuing to get better, but not as fast as others.
