No, people in poor countries tend to be vastly more entrepreneurial. There is a huge difference between those two things.Originally posted by gribbler View PostApparently the poor tend to be vastly more entrepreneurial.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Just funning!! I was actually in the US yesterday. When I crossed the border the speed limit was 2 miles an hour higher and I immediately felt freer. Lol
Biggest thing I noted was how much cheaper most retail items are in the US and I did enjoy the lack of sales tax in Montana.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Why are you even confused by that? It's obviously true."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

No it's not. Being poor in a poor country might well make people more entrepreneurial, but there's no logical leap to everyone in poor countries being so. As previously pointed out by Aeson, that entrepreneurialism is also countered by a lot of negative stuff too.Comment

I'm not confused. I'm stunned, because people in poor countries are poor, or did he mean the rich people, but then what is his point?Originally posted by Jaguar View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

We shouldn't even call it entrepreneurialism. It really is absurd. Should we believe someone in a poor country says, "I'm an entrepreneur because I collect stuff at the dump."Originally posted by kentonio View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

The point is, most entreprenuers aren't that important to the economy. Society doesn't really need you to open up a new McDonalds on the corner. We can get by without you (as an individual I mean). Someone else will do it if you don't. People are going to start up businesses if they have to or if there is enough demand etc... It's the same thing in poorer countries. People in poorer countries don't have better alternatives when they become entreprenuers and either do people in richer countries.Last edited by Kidlicious; August 15, 2012, 06:21.I drank beer.

In developing economies there are more (often very easy to exploit) opportunities which haven't been fully exploited yet. Starting up a business in a developing economy means you are likely to be able to get the best location (if applicable), and not have to compete with established players. You also have plenty of labor to choose from, keeping labor costs low and ensuring you get the best (local) workers. Sometimes, there isn't any competition at all.Originally posted by kentonio View Post
Also there are fewer jobs. So if you want to make an income, you're more likely to have to create the job yourself than to fill one that someone else has already created. Generally the reason why poorer people will start their own business. (Which often is just carrying a basket around the neighborhood.)
These influences apply (but not always to the same extent) regardless of how much money you have in such an economy.Comment

Keep ripping off lame twitter accounts, and you'll be sure to hit the mark at some point!
Spoiler alert: you can get all these jokes before this DL has a chance to tell them at @PaulRyanGosling, a distinctly unfunny novelty twitter account.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Those are specifically negative. That one PaulRyanBot posted and the others don't seem particularly negative.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
It's a whole meme and seems like it's going beyond that twitter account.
