Being self-employed is risky in the sense you do not have to relative security of a safety net. I don't get unemployment insurance, or any employer-paid insurance. Everything I get is customer paid.
People who take real risks, say tight-rope walkers, they might have safety nets, but the have a rule: don't look down. You mind goes where you look. To have a "safety net" is to look at it, and your mind goes there. Geronimo!
There are times when I am creating or designing, where I may not be making much of any money at all, for a while. I am told I would qualify for some sort of aid based on my income. No thanks, a need to earn keeps me more efficient.
What is it? 100 million Americans are on welfare. The number of Americans claiming disability has doubled. Most small business I speak to are afraid to hire for fear the employee is simplyging to put in the minimum time necessary to collect unemployment. Apple has excellent screening processes for its stores. Small business do not.
All of that welfare payment represents money, credit, sucked away from productive innovation. It represents people who have been anesthetized to the point hey cannot innovate.
The face of welfare is a white woman, but the image is man with some African heritage. Nonetheless, welfare and minority go together. We know because the USA has strict racial identity codes.
When Margaret Sanger had trouble advancing Planned Parenthood among minorities, she was advised to buy off preachers of some African heritage. It worked. But this is not unique among people of African heritage, every country has people willing to sell their own down the river.
She is tired of hearing about the risks businesses take. What is risky is being poor in America.
Well, it's bankers and republicans who talk about businesses take risks. One job of businesses is to NOT take risks, to get rid of them. When the state allowed banks to engage in usury, and then in turn to lend credit at fractional reserve, they had to introduce the idea of "businesses take risks" to get people to employ that extra credit. People who should not borrow did so, and slavery of sorts, to some degree followed. So I agree, I too am tired of hearing about businesses taking risks.
But I think she is wrong about equating being poor with experience risk. Ghetto shoot ups are about being targeted, not about experiencing risk. And the way out of that is not a "safety net" but freedom. And certainly to end the state racial categorizations.
The "safety net" the liberals talk about is really a fishing net, for scooping up vast numbers quickly, gutting them, drying them out, consuming them, and then disposing of the waste. That is no way to treat people. And it denies the rest of us the good of the contributions we'd otherwise get from people, grounded in the creativity emergent with their freedom.
The banks too have a safety net, and that net led to the problems and denies us the solution. Defund all safety nets. Give us freedom.
