I don't know how it works in the US, but when I studied business at University (the American model) I was quite taken by the observationThe sole purpose of business is generate a profit for the owners, or share holders.
Which of tomorrow's technology is bankrupt? Renewables are still growing, and hybrid autos are still in business, despite the end of government subsidies.Studiot,
How much money was spent on a "tomorrow's technology" business by the governments only to have them "go bankrupt" within five years. Once the government money ran out, so did the "business"..
I'm very happy to hear it, studiot, seriously. I like to see all entrepreneurs and businessmen/women succeed.Thank you all for your concern about my business.
I can assure you that Studio T is alive and as well as the day it was founded and has continued to growwww....
What is the joke? SolarWorld is a US Corporation. A US manufacturer, a US employer and a payer of US corporate taxes that serves the US market and was suffering from Chinese dumping of solar panels. The fact that all of SolarWorld Corporation's shares are owned by SolarWorld AG (a German entity), is meaningless.The real reason that solar panel pricing is increasing in the US is because the US government has instituted tariffs against Chinese imports. see: http://www.greentechmedia.com/artic...i-Dumping-Tariffs-in-US-China-Solar-Panel-Tra This is a bit of a joke, considering the company "SolarWorld" is a German owned company.
I assert that this is a fundamental aim of all 'living' organisms.'The basic aim of business is survival.' ...
There are companies that received a lot of government money who failed. Those competently run are still around, but, how much was wasted on the failures that some bureaucrat decided they were "good on paper"; and were granted the government startup money.Renewables are still growing, and hybrid autos are still in business, despite the end of government subsidies.
Why would you say that that it is meaningless to be a German entity that is protected by US tariffs? Isn't it more important that green technologies are implemented to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels? You are talking about protecting the profits of a German company.... sure they have manufacturing in the US & pay taxes, but so do all the small companies involved in solar installation, etc. They will be hurt when fewer installations occur as will the US importers/sellers of panels.What is the joke?

From an engineer's stand point, I've found the "running" part relatively easy. I mean, fundamentally, it's just numbers. And numbers are what I do.The running a business knowledge is the weakest link...
Oh! Is that the goal?...Isn't it more important that green technologies are implemented to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels?
Another good question to ask is how much has these loans paid off for the country, or for mankind in general. For example, how much economic activity was generated by ARPANET?There are companies that received a lot of government money who failed.

Considering the US is $17,651,316,000,000 in debt, I'd say not much.Another good question to ask is how much has these loans paid off for the country...
Well, since other expenditures, such as war funding, dwarf these programs, I'd say the debt is mostly due to other spending.Considering the US is $17,651,316,000,000 in debt, I'd say not much.
I'd say very little as that network is NOT the internet. It certainly evolved into the internet in the 1990s, but from the 60s to the 90s it was a network of government and the education intuitions.For example, how much economic activity was generated by ARPANET?
Maybe. But it wasn't just a US decision, the international trade commission also dinged them. As for the installers and importers, they are also treated unfairly if their business requires long-term access to Chinese government subsidized solar panels imported into the US at prices that are not sustainable. That is, what happens to installers that invest in cranes, training personnel and other tools and then the door is slammed shut by the Chinese. The same is true for US-subsidized value chains. The key difference is, the subsidy is public knowledge in the US whereas the Chinese were hiding the fact that subsidies and subsequent dumping was happening.Why would you say that that it is meaningless to be a German entity that is protected by US tariffs?

I'd say it changed the world. The internet is possible because of it. Great change is evolutionary, and without ARPANET, there is no internet as we know it. It has changed everything, especially how business is done.I'd say very little as that network is NOT the internet. It certainly evolved into the internet in the 1990s, but from the 60s to the 90s it was a network of government and the education intuitions.
Once it became the "internet" then people exploited it for profit.
Yes, of course. GWBs fault -- It's been so long I forgot.Well, since other expenditures, such as war funding, dwarf these programs, I'd say the debt is mostly due to other spending.
Really? $58000 per person at loan rates that are mostly influenced by actions of the federal reserve - an entity that would fail if the US government would go bankrupt. I would call you a quitter.Considering the US is $17,651,316,000,000 in debt, I'd say not much.
In fact, if the US was a business, it'd have declared bankruptcy looooong ago...
I disagree. Government can make a positive change. Government is people after all.Given that, I do not believe that such conscripted resources, even in the 'good' case, resulted in greater productive use of those resources than if they had been left in the original owners' hands.
