A woman's husband gets a terrible sickness, and is denied coverage from their carrier. The husband dies. The woman says "we were covered, but they decided not to pay- I thought they were here to help us."
WRONG. And that's the problem with our capitalist system:
It's focus is THE BOTTOM LINE- nothing else.
It assumes that the "best" business (meaning the one that helps the most people) will be rewarded the most. Under the classic capitalist idea that would be true, but it is NOT true in practice. I'm a BIG Ayn Rand fan and all of that, but there's no point in arguing theory versus truth.
The ONLY focus of a business is to count the profits, so it gets more investors, who want to grow their profits together, there is NO OTHER CONCERN.
That means if a product is dangerous, but it makes money- it is JUSTIFIED.
If a business kills people (or, more to the point, lets them die), it is JUSTIFIED.
The BOTTOM LINE is never looking out for Humans. It has NO concern whatsoever other than increasing itself. However, in our system, humans are also only looking out for the bottom line.
And it's time to change that.
I am thrilled to see so many companies coming out under the realization that the bottom line is not enough- that HUMAN BEINGS have to come first, and then profits second.
That does NOT mean there are no profits, it means they aren't FIRST.

Bones: It is a terrible waste of a donation when 60% of the money is siphoned off the top and given to the participants.
ReplyDeleteHUB's business model IS an MLM and absolutely no different than any other MLM. If you think I am incorrect, Please show me how I am in errer. Just what is so completely different and unique about HUB's business model?
Comparing HUB to your cable company is like comparing an apple to an orange. It makes absolutely no sense even trying to make a comparison.
I find that you are trying to promote this scam all over the internet. You ran away from another site and never refuted my statements or answered my questions adequately. Here you are again with your smoke and mirrors nonsense trying to advocate the notion that HUB isn't an MLM.
For any readers, google hub scam and the top site should be Bones unable to answer the above referenced questions.
People profitting in the name of charity is disgusting. Hub's webpage has their donations to various organizations. Feed the children is on the top spot. Look into feed the children and you will find some interesting info. I didn't have the time yo verfy this info. but is is posted on scam.com.
Really, then why don't the Jone's pay themselves what normal people make instead of taking home $553,259 between the trhee of them?
Also, why with all these starving children they show on TV did Feed the Children have over $400,442,511 (Thats 400.5 MILLION) dollars listed as EXCESSIVE FUNDS. They also have $48.6 MILLION in private securities!
The complete IRS filings are here:

The following post came from Topix:
Feed the Children receives an “F” grade from AIP because in our opinion it spends only about 14% of its cash budget on program services that are not conducted in conjunction with fundraising. In fiscal 1998, FTC spent almost $13 million on television programs and almost $12.9 million on direct mail and postage. These two items account for about 70% of its $37 million cash budget. FTC, whose primary purpose is to distribute donated goods and supplies to the needy, spent only $944 thousand, or less than 3% of its cash budget, on shipping, handling and storage in fiscal 1998.
The Daily Oklahoman reported that the son of Larry Jones, founder and president of Feed The Children (FTC), AKA Larry Jones Ministries International, stated in a personal bankruptcy filing that he owed his father’s charity $950,000.
If my math is correct, approximately 5 cents of every dollar given to HUB actually goes to needy children in their feed the children donations. I don't care how you look at it, but that is pathetic! The rest of the money lines the pockets of the participants in one way or another.
