Well, not really... in all, because of the money saved on supplies, and the boost from advertising, lets say the local Dairy Queen will end up making 400,000 dollars a year with 8 workers while your local small business will make 100,000 with 4 workers... If the minimum wage averages out to be 5,000 dollars a year per worker, the large business is paying 40,000 a year while bringing in 400,000... 10% it's annual income while the small business is paying 20,000 on 100,000... 20% it's annual income... Now lets say that minimum wage is increased by 1000 dollars a year per worker... The large business is paying 48,000 on 400,000... 12% it's annual income... The small business will end up paying 24,000 on 100,000... 24% it's annual income... Because of the increase in mimimum wage, the small business ended up paying a higher percentage increase of it's annual income in wages than the large business.

Could you explain why that would be so, that seems opposite to how it should be. I think this goes back to advertising... Lets say my local Dairy Queen is interested in new advertising... Because they are apart of a larger conglomerate, the company will take care of that advertising, and will reach farther and will generally be more successful that individual Dairy Queen ever could. Now whatever amount in dues that Dairy Queen has to pay to the central office for advertising will increase their earnings exponentially because of the type of advertising (television, movies, partnerships with other companies, etc...) whereas the advertising done by a small business will generally only increase it's earnings linearly... Also, if we take into account discounts on supplies, larger companies have an even bigger advantage.

Everything finance related for small businesses is magnified because they are working with less inherently... How successful a small business is can't be guaged by how many workers it has, but rather by how much money it brings in. The ratio that small businesses pay in wages to their workers vs how much they make is generally more than the ratio that larger corporations pay to workers vs. how much they make.

Lol, ya'll are going to scare the man away. Sup Kel.

Yeah, I haven't been on a podcast in an ill minute.

:kekeke:

Hope it still does. A compilation like that would be a great thing for hip hop. ur welcome Maxy Waxy .. LOL... Lol, I feel 8 again...

So Cookies, how exactly did you get Barry Bonds to buy those steroids off of you?

Julie doesn't realize that Google is a powerful research tool. I'm not even going to get into how that came to your mind, or what you've been watching... :mygod:

What Julie doesn't know is that I don't know what a "golden shower" trick is and that she'll have to elaborate... :kekeke:

Hope it still does. A compilation like that would be a great thing for hip hop.

Will should have time to write and record one track for a soundtrack. In fact, he probably has tracks that didn't make Lost and Found that might be suitable for a soundtrack... It's really a matter of whether there will be a sound track for the movie and whether the thought of putting a track on it comes to mind.

This is just a "Will is attached" thing... These are all talks... and half of them will fall through... This is the same as Will being attached to do the Matrix a couple of years back.

What Cookies doesn't know is that Julie lied to her about the money, and while it will seem like they are splitting it 40-60, Cookies is actually only getting 10%... I'm getting 40 and Julie is getting 50... Moreover, we have tapes of Cookies that will be put on the internet shortly for blackmail purposes... :wiggle:

Thanks for providing more info on that, Cookies. It's amazing how quick people are to jump to conclusions without hearing the full story or knowing all the details... The first thing I thought when I read AJ's post was that there was probably difficulty getting artists or a lack of interest by artists in general... The second thing I thought was that the usual suspects are going to flock here blaming it on movies. Shame of you guys, and you know who you are. Stop jumping to conclusions.

And it's going to be on the internet next week...

Lol, and those pictures would need to go straight to the "Faces behind the post thread. The rumor thread is going really well though.

So did Julie... In fact, she was one of his clients that night.

We're not scared of you Cookies... Watch... We're going to unionize and we shall overcome... We going to function like a barbershop... Originally... "Cookies" was just "Cookie," but she added the "s" because of her multiple personalities and they couldn't agree on a new name...

And I for one thought it was exceedingly harsh considering last weekend was memorial day weekend and business was slow. Tim, AJ, and I have all tried to leave Cookies several times, but her pimphand is way strong.... :sick: Incidentally, doesn't "Cookies" really sound like a pimp name... :rofl: Ok, back to the game... TopDawg is the diabolical archenemy of UnderDawg, the streetwise, hip alterego of Under Dog... Needless to say, TopDawg has never won a battle and never will... also... he never gets the girl...

(off topic ) FINALLY SOMEONE that can spell my name :D i live in holland and about the group of friend or basketball club , all say Jamie , dumbos they are :P mfuqua23 knows TO much about people toenails :P Jaime has a name spelling fetish...

I recorded it Tim. I'll try to send it to you tomorrow morning.

Not really... The creative Zen Vision is far superior to the ipod when it comes to video and picture quality... also, it's screen is twice as large.

That was ridiculous.

I don't think anyone here cares what happens on Lorettaville any longer. When the site was redone and reconfigured, we thought things would be better over there... We learned our lesson quickly and we stopped caring about 3 days after the new forum was started.
