The consumer debt happens because of high medical bills, ARM loans, artificially inflated student loans administered by deceptive FA departments and For profit universities, and bad credit contracts with stupidly high interest rates. It doesn't happen because Joe goes out to eat at Longhorn 3 days a week. |

I'm more entertained by the fact that Boomers are getting upset that their businesses are tanking, then blaming millennials for "ruining" their businesses.
I see more entitlement coming from boomers than millennials in that regard.

American businesses works like this.
1. Have a good idea or product 2. Offer it better than the next guy 3. Beat your competition and gain market share 4. Disregard all quality and focus only on what is most profitable 5. Use money to buy influence to squash competition and labor. 6. Say buzzwords like "capitalism" and "america" while having the government subsidize your s*** wages with social welfare and providing you with tax advantages to keep your position. Ultra Level: Become so big the Supreme Court says your corporation is a person and the government will give you money to prevent you going out of business. The ultimate goal of business in capitalism is to eliminate all competition and exploit workers to slavery.

That's how a liberal thinks the economy works No. Here is how capitalism actually works (in the USA) 1. Be a company 2. Offer a product 3. It's a great product, people want it, high demand 4. Competition enters market 5. Sue them for infringing on something, anything 6. Make them fight lengthy expensive court battle 7. Use bulls*** tactics like moving the trial to different states to make it harder for your competition to fight 8. Use every dirty legal trick in the book to win 9. Lose anyway 10. Competition spent so much fighting in court that even though they won they are now bankrupt 11. Go back to being monopoly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!?g=s cheers. |

people are spending money. too much, in fact. consumer debt everywhere is rising beyond sustainable levels. That consumer debt is rising because consumers are spending more than they have, because they dont get paid enough to get by on the low wages. They can't save because they have to pay on the debt they need to take out to get by. Because they aren't paid living wages. That's how it seems to me. |

It's more troubling to me that a lot of businesses and their owners feel entitled to exist in the first place when their existence hinges on some precarious things.
Take fairs and carnivals for example - I recently read an article that said millennials/gen Z are ruining those by not taking jobs in them. Those jobs get taken by illegal immigrants who work for minimum wage or less and are stacked 20-men deep in trailers where they live. If not this, they seek out other immigrants on work/travel visas who can be exploited to work in such conditions. This is the only way those businesses can exist, by employing those who are willing to endure such sordid conditions. If they were not available, they would either have to pay enough money that legal citizens/millennials would be willing to work, or go out of business kicking and screaming about millennials "ruining" them. What I believe is really happening - Millennials aren't stupid enough to do crap jobs for joke money when the alternative of having no job is actually seen as superior to suffering in s*** conditions.

5. Sue them for infringing on something, anything You would need a patent/copyright/trademark to do this so you can't just sue someone if you haven't patented the items or processes yourself.

Sue them for infringing on something, anything From what I read Sony received a temporary injunction so it sounds like they had a case to initially sue them. So I don't see how they just sued them "for anything" when there was an initial injunction after suing... Also can you show me cases from those companies where they don't have basis to sue but are allowed to do so?

ChromaticAngel posted...SK8T3R215 posted...ChromaticAngel posted...SK8T3R215 posted...ChromaticAngel posted...5. Sue them for infringing on something, anything Merit to claim is decided in court, not in the filing itself. If you go to court over something that you obviously have no claim for, you'll lose a lot faster. Like, if I sue Microsoft because they're infringing on my ".NET trademark" it will go to court if only for a few minutes because the judge needs to open the book and close it. That's due process for you. I would be on the hook for countersuits, however. But here are some other examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proview_International_Holdings_Ltd (Apple eventually negotiated to buy the rights from them) http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/PCWorld/story?id=3351577 (this one involves google) |

Sue them for infringing on something, anything Um so basically Sony sued, Bloom won the appeal, Sony also had other restraining orders denied (ie anything you want to sue for doesn't work) and then Bloom went bankrupt because they basically weren't generating enough revenues after winning. And the Apple case proves... What? A company had a trademark in China and sued Apple who then settled it out of court? And then Google lost in Germany because someone had a legit trademark for Gmail. So how does that prove what you said in #5? I don't see the issue of Google having Gmail and trying to use it around the world and running into people with trademarks for it and going to court to see if they can use it for their product.

the legal fees themselves killed the company. lawyers aren't cheap. If the company was gonna become profitable after the ruling I don't see how they couldn't get funding from outside investors. Apple got sued from a trademark holder in China. Apple settled out of court. Apple also has the iPad product registered in other countries. What am I missing? I mean Google has Gmail in other countries, it wants to use the name in a country for its mail service while someone owns the name already. I mean this is basically the point of trademarks. The German courts ruled he trademarked it for his mail service and not the logo as Google argued. If it was trademarked for the logo Google would likely be able to use it in that country. So again Google isn't suing for nothing it's suing to use the name of its product in a country where the name is trademarked.

ok, defend this one where Apple sues a company over the letter i
http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mp3s/apples-future-wont-be-brought-to-you-by-the-letter-i-20100312-q27r.html look, I know you're knew to this whole real world thing, but this is how a legally regulated economy works. companies beat their competition in court instead of the free market. |

You're paid what you're worth.
If you want a job that pays $15 an hour, for example, then apply to jobs that offer that. If you are not eligible for those jobs then you're simply not worth $15 an hour. Go get a trade skill.

ok, defend this one where Apple sues a company over the letter i So it's case was the company was being deceptive using the reverse spelling of its own product. So there is their reason for suing. At the heart of the present opposition is the claimed similarity of the Trade Mark to marks containing or consisting of the element IPOD which had been used and/or registered by the Opponent in Australia as at the Priority Date. Um my point was you need a legitimate reason to sue in court. Google has a product called Gmail and challenged the trademark for this was for a mail service or for a logo. That is a legitimate reason and the point of my post so idk where you getting this "I'm an expert of the economy, kid" stuff from. You're just finding articles and posting them over and over when all I said was you need a reason to sue someone.

You're just finding articles and posting them over and over when all I said was you need a reason to sue someone. The trial is to decide if the reason is legitimate or not. You don't need a legitimate reason just to file suit. If it's legitimate, you're awarded damages based on the lawsuit. Otherwise it's thrown out. That's why these things are called claims. "Apple claims so and so is infringing on their trademark." even if they actually aren't. They put up weak arguments and try to bully smaller competition into folding or bankrupt them trying to defend against the obvious bulls*** lawsuit. |
