SBA loans end, H1-B reduced, EBT cards can't buy junk food, 7-11 to close 645 stores?

Sar, how will I send money back home to India if I can't abuse SBA loans and get 10-year tax grants anymore?





We really let them take over gas stations and hotels and gave them favorable loans and tax benefits to do so.

They even abused those favorable benefits by "selling" the businesses to a family member to extend them after the 10 year period. Look it up.




Also, I am sure another coincidence but Dorito sales are way down, and they just announced they will lower prices. I imagine this will be a trend for all junk food brands

Look for soda prices to fall soon, too. 25% of all soda sales were bought with EBT


quote:

Significant Soda Purchases: About 9.3% of all SNAP purchases are for sweetened beverages, including soda.

Company Revenue Impact: Some industry analysts suggest SNAP contributes to 20-25% of total U.S. revenue for large beverage companies like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, though this is debated.

We actually have seen deflation on food.

Now imagine what we could do to health care cost if we stopped subsidizing it with Obamacare and forcing hospitals to care for illegals who have no plan on ever paying by mass deporting said illegals

I feel like the world looked at America like a gold rush.

And now the gold is nearly played out.

Stout,

40 years ago I was working on a truck with a Route Driver for Pepsi in Virginia. I was talking to a chinese restaurant owner. He LOVED America. He was telling us how he started his business, describing the exact model you posted. SBA loan, tax deferred, then put it in is brother's name for extended tax benefits. Used relatives to work the business and bypassed all employment contributions.

The tired, sweaty, route salesman looked at me when we got back in the truck, and said.....can he really do that, I cant do that. I said yes he can, welcome to America...........

It’s such an easily foreseen loophole that it has to be intentional.

The worthless sacks on EBT today don’t have shame. They are entitled and shameless.

Stop letting your wife do the shopping. Cut down on the air chilled chicken and plant based milks.

Only in America can you be a broke Chinese immigrant and become a millionaire if you know the system.

So you don't understand his healthcare comments?

There is a remedy for that.
Instead of coming across as an ignorant a-hole with stupid comments like the one you chose to make, just ask him to clarify. You might learn something in the process.

You know ... I used to think good on these pajeets and ching-chongs on doing all of this free enterprise and then I noticed how much they take advantage of our laws and people and later, they started doing this in jobs and universities as well and further fleecing this country.

On a personal level, I do like some of them and I can appreciate certain aspects of their culture, I am no racist. But I think it would be better for them and most importantly us if they all packed up and went back to make India great for once.
