Bat shit crazy Elizabeth is at it again, now she wants to take over companies.

[Markle]

Like every other time the government tries to take over and run anything, it is always the tax payers who end up paying for it.

So very true! The government in New York took over OTB, Off Track Betting. They went broke. In Nevada, the government took over the running of a brothel, a whore house. They went broke.

If the Socialist Progressives believe the government can run any business better than the private sector, they are more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

If the government can't make a profit running a gambling parlor or a whore house, what do you think they would do with Microsoft or Ford?

Huh... sounds like a trump casino....

A simple idea, but it relies on "Ceteris Parabus". But, when the market all around lowers the price of labor(by whatever means), that standard below which employees will leave gets lower.

That lowering of the price of labor can become a 'race to the bottom". And it has, for 30 years.

If you're in a job where the pay has been decreasing, it's because you have no marketable skills. You need to take personal responsibility and make yourself more valuable to an employer.

I have been a Realtor in North Florida for more than 40 years. That means I've been self-employed, in one way or another almost all my life. I determined where I worked, when, and how much I need.

Decades ago I was working for a particular office. A very reputable office and I enjoyed working there. At a sales meeting, the broker announced that they were joining a franchise. It was a reputable franchise but one that offered me nothing and would cost me 7% off the top of my commissions.

After the meeting, I went downstairs, got in my car and went to pick up some boxes. I called my computer geek and went back to the office. Packed up all my files, made a call to another office and I moved in there that afternoon. My computer geek picked up all my computer stuff, copier, 2 printers, my fax machine and had it all set up in the new office that afternoon. The next day the phone company moved my private line. That same day our Multiple Listing Service moved all 28 of my listings to the new office.

Easy peasy.

How many Atlantic City Casino's went broke the same year?

That would be four business bankruptcies out of how many hundred successful businesses?

You have the gift of gab, that's a skill you are born with or youre not. That's only thing I could never do be in sales.

Nothing happens until something is sold. It's hard work, something many people don't realize until they get into the business. The year I was District Vice President I did a bit of research and learned that fewer than 30% of the people who enter the real estate profession are still in it only three years later.

As for me, I learned a "gift of gab". Someone once said to find a job you LOVE and you'll never work a day in your life. So true!

I was talking to one of you a few months ago he was saying the same thing, it appears you have to develop a huge network and bust your ass.

 

[Markle]

Then why are you here? Go somewhere else if you don’t want to talk about substance. You hate Warren and think she is a commie, We got it. Now move along unless you have something real to say.

Why do you want to put Elizabeth Warren aside? She's the reason for the entire thread. She plus Socialist Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters and many others. Like it or not, they're all part of the discussion for Socialism. They along with Venezuela!

Much, much easier now with computers to keep in touch with your past customers. "Back in the day", I used a 3x5 card filing system. Depending on the contact, they were put in a particular rotation. That rotation included phone calls, postcards and letters. Prospecting was a never-ending practice. A lot of people, and I tried to emphasize it when I was instructing people working toward the state exam that real estate was NOT a job. They would be flattered that nearly every broker they spoke with would want to "hire" them. But the fact was, when they went to work, they were opening their own small business. No one was going to tell them what to do and they had to invest in their own education, training, advertising, and promotion. They needed a business plan.

Computers, of course, have simplified it but it still takes self-discipline. Another experienced agent who also consistently produced income in six figures had on his screen saver, a rolling text saying simply "PROSPECT OR DIE".

Elizabeth Warren's New Bill Aims to Reinvent U.S. Capitalism


U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has a plan to rewrite the rules for large U.S. businesses--and it's a provocative one.

The Democratic Senator from Massachusetts is introducing a new bill on Wednesday that would require corporate executives "to consider the interests of all major stakeholders in company decisions--not only shareholders," Warren wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal. The Accountable Capitalism Act would require companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue--including Facebook, Google, and Amazon--to comply with a federal charter that looks out for workers' interests. Currently, U.S. businesses secure corporation charters from states, not on the federal level.

One of the biggest changes that the bill proposes is for employees to elect at least 40 percent of board directors. The bill also seeks to impose limits on when executives can sell company shares. Directors and officers would have to hold shares for five years before
selling them, or in the case of a company stock buyback, three years. Warren's bill also takes aim at political contributions by requiring approval for all political expenditures from at least 75 percent of shareholders.




.

So she’s “Looking out for workers interests “ and you call her crazed.
Have you lost your ******* mind? No need to answer. It’s quite obvious.
Elizabeth Warren is working night and day protecting your ass from unscrupulous Wall Street investors. She’s had to since the pussygrabber undid all the protections she and Obama put on after the economy crashed under Bush.

 

[Reasonable]

The government wouldn't run it, all I see is a badly needed increase in employee power. The middle class is sinking into poverty too much.

It would force companies to take into account "stakeholders" which is basically everyone. The government as a regulator is a stakeholder, and if some stakeholder decided it was being ignored they could sue.

It would basically make companies unmanageable.

Employees are free to form employee run companies if they want to, forcing everyone to do so is stupid.

so is eroding your middle class into poverty and letting your infrastructure slip past it's expiration dates.

Making corporations beholden to anyone with a grudge won't help the middle class.

and blame progressives for infrastructure failures due to all the red tape you have to go through to get projects started.

Yes blame progressives for infrastructure failures even though you control all 3 branches of government.
The idiocy never ends with you guys.

No she is trying to get around citizens united for one and get around RTW states for the second one like I said in my OP.
