Silver lining, at least servers will get closer to paying the taxes they’re supposed to!

Lol!

As I think about it, itll also do wonders to reflect real income and DQ addt people from govt programs, which is a cost saving measure.

FISCAL SILVER LININGS FOR DAYYYYYSSSS

Just report “headaches, back pain and anxiety” to your doctor as reasons you cant work. SS benefits for the win.

A bunch of people are gonna lose their jobs so I’m not sure there’ll be a fiscal silver lining.

Eh maybe, maybe not. Given the recent drop in all tax rates and the very limited exposure of this bill I’m excited to see what the end result looks like

(I’m a fan of standardization and I’m not necessarily a fan of tipped wages anyway)

I suppose we’ll see.

To you yeah
 not surprised.

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

Ha, ha, ha,ha

Or maybe the richest country in the world should have what the rest of the modern countries in the world have. A form of single-payer. Far less expensive with typically better outcomes.

As usual, when you don’t have something just laugh, derelict.

This is predicated on the assumption that other countries have it right and single-payer is the way insurance should be facilitated. That’s a wrong assumption in my opinion and you’ve certainly not convinced me otherwise.

Inaccurate.

And this is due to what, mainly?

Sounds like the U.S.

the inequality-adjusted Human Development Index is considered the actual level of human development, taking inequality into account. On the inequality-adjusted HDI, the United States ranked 27th in 2014, tied with Poland.

Wow, how impressive the U.S. is. The middle class is being hollowed out by this system and all you can do is praise it. How ignorant.

Plenty of more articles and studies.

Pharma advances. Duh?

That was exactly what I was saying. Sounds like they’re “suffering” at their own hands.

So still better than the majority of the planet. Gotcha.

Of course I praise it. The system rewarded my hard work and dedication to being successful. You put in no effort or hard work, so of course you’re not successful.

Feel free to make something of yourself. That way you’re not so reliant on other people.

I support a cooperative form of business that benefits the people involved not the few at the top. It is more democratic in it’s structure, where everyone gets 1 vote. Your vote is not determined by your shares. And I support a government that helps in this endeavor.

Capitalism is an economic model that is primarily concerned with profit at any cost. This spills over into a business model.

Any system that places profit above all else, including the suffering of humans, is awful and we can and should do better.

Economic model: In economics, a model is a theoretical construct representing economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and/or quantitative relationships between them.

Operative word, theoretical. What should one do when a theory doesn’t work like it’s supposed to?

Business model: A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value,[1] in economic, social, cultural or other contexts. The process of business model construction and modification is also called business model innovation and forms a part of business strategy.[2]
In theory and practice, the term business model is used for a broad range of informal and formal descriptions to represent core aspects of a business, including purpose, business process, target customers, offerings, strategies, infrastructure, organizational structures, sourcing, trading practices, and operational processes and policies including culture.

So what is the dominant business model in the U.S.?

And what has it done for the inhabitants recently?

I specifically asked you to give a proper definition, not some silly quip about morality. If you do not know, please educate yourself or there cannot be any form of logical discussion.

And again, are you for a socialist government?

Please stop deflecting.

A corporation is a company or group of people or an organisation authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.

Wasn’t aware that pensions were around any longer. Oh, I didn’t see the word government. I just assumed you were talking about the private sector.

And what do your questions have to do with changing the dominant form of business in the U.S.?
