Some fascinating discussion this morning on +Up with Chris Hayes about small businesses and specifically "what is a small business?" You may have caught Obama's line during the debate the other night about Donald Trump being a small business.
Most of us think of the local restaurants, dry cleaners and countless other independently owned and operated companies as small businesses However, it turns out that under the rules that Mitt Romney references when he says 97% of companies are small businesses, that actually includes the likes of Trump.
Companies with less than 500 employees are small businesses even if they are nothing more than S-Corporations or holding companies that exist solely for the purpose of avoiding certain types of taxes. These holding companies often have only a handful of employees to do little more than own a much larger enterprise and there are sometimes multiple levels of these holding enterprises each of which counts as a "small" business.
While Romney's policies may very well benefit all of these small companies, they are unlikely to actually generate any jobs in the process.

The results of this comparison should come as a surprise to no one that's paying any attention. As sultry as +Fisker Automotive Karma looks, it's just not particularly well executed. By all accounts it's an under-engineered designer's dream machine. The +Chevrolet Volt on the other hand was engineered to bring the extended range EV concept to the masses in a comparatively no compromises way (aside from the initial price tag). It's not perfect but it's a tremendous first effort.

The worst part of Mitt Romney saying something as utterly ridiculous as "America invented education" is not the fact that he said it. It's that millions of Americans will actually believe it!

Many companies send out press releases to report everything, like Bernie moving from shipping to accounting. I will do the same today. Fairway, the wold's famous Giz Wiz Biz LLC mascot has moved on. After two hours on a warm kitchen floor, she has decided to move on to the tiled bathroom floor. "My duties remain the same" said Fairway "but I needed a change and it's way cooler here".

Victor Gruen's concept for the enclosed shopping mall is a prime example of unintended consequences and frankly not really thinking things through all that well. The era of the suburban mall helped make the exodus from our cities to the suburbs much more practical, thus hastening the decline of American urban centers.
At least in some areas, the decline of the mall is running in parallel with a movement back to the cities although it's not necessarily a causal relationship. I for one won't be sorry to see the end of the mall as I knew them growing up, I've always hated them.
