    $400.00 for one day?? Did that include rides? Makes hunting camp look cheap. I expect our doe, buck, & elk camps this year will be less than 3 days at Disney.

    That gets you in the park of your choice and the rides. We chose the magic kingdom. You can get a park hopper to allow you to go to more than one area but the reality is that you can not do more than one park a day anyway. That does not include drinks ($3.25 for a water) Or you can get a plain hamburger and fries for $9.85

    Funny you say that.

    I just got back from the Vero beach area of Florida after visiting Disney as well. Disney was nice but to be honest the $404.32 admission for 2 adults and 2 children for a day in the magic kingdom was very steep. It was nice, I'm glad we did it but just did not ring the bell for me.

    Vero beach was beautiful nice restaurants, clean and the fishing was exceptional. However the people.... were all old new yorkers

    Multiple places have wanted this over the years. "Sign up with us and we will get work for you" is the basic idea. The BBB, Chambers, Orgs, Associations and so on.

    If it works for you, then go for it, if it doesn't then don't. If in doubt, ask around to see who has any information. Ask for a list of their clients to see who you might work for.

    Pimps, Ponce, my 10%...

    Whatever you want to call it. They are just leeches to people who work.

    I hate to say get used to it but.. get used to it.

    Buisness models for the service industry all are trying to build in fees for access to work. I went to a GSA confrence where the speaker gave his speech on bidding jobs and afterwards spent considerable time telling about how he had to make his speech the exact OPPOSITE of what the entire service industry is doing. While the governemnt just throws out a RFP and contractors then bid the work. The private secor now sees the entire RFP process as a opportunity for making money by taking fees to prequalify vendors to requiring on site inspections that are the vendors resposibility.

    I think 2016 is a ways off, too much can happen between now and then, and I would LOVE to see some more business related threads on here.

    Buisness wise I think 2016 and the economy play a big role in how buisness are being managed and thier growth.

    Many financial insitutions have allready cut back on lines of credit since the rules for unsecured debt have to be managed by banks now with much more oversight. Look at workmans comp insurance, it has gone up by anywhere from 8 to 36% in the last 24 months based on insurance mandates that must be in place by Oct 1 2014.

    That is one reason that the certian provisions of the employer mandate have been put on hold.

    Buisnesses themselves are hiring more part time also look at states benifits the list of what is considered "seasonal work" is now more than tripled and benifits are only 12 weeks at a reduced level for those people who fall into that line of work. Your summer pressure washers now fall into seasonal and must plan accordingly for the end of season lay off.

    Growth is is smaller steps and graduated. I added a crew this year but fully paid for the van and equipment out fo pocket rather than finance the vehicle and washer most of it was due to not wanting to carry any more debt load The 179 deductions were upped to 250K for 2013 but after that the deduction will start to reduce also the vehicle write off have changed dramaticly for what is considered a "work vehicle" We use vans exclusively so that is fine but the vehicles used to bid jobs that get significantly higher milage are now almost excluded and you have to file additional paperwork each year to show they are used for work.

    It does not matter if she runs or does not run wins or looses.

    No country since Roman times has carried a debt load even 40% of what we have now and survived. Our government has rediculous talks on our intrest on our debt and make up funny names for it calling it the "debt load" We are not making any payment at all on our debt merely making a half hearted attempt to pay the intrest ONLY on the money we owe.

    Yet we continue to spend stupidly and are actually increasing our spending the next presedent will merely be a damage control officer on a badly sinking ship.
