Memo to GOP: Think less about corporate America, more about startups
- DanielBMarkham 15y agoPosted this not as a political article, but as a leading indicator that perhaps the discussion in the US is moving away from large corporations as drivers of job growth and more towards startups. At least I hope so. I'm certainly not looking to provoke comments on which party is more for job creation, and of course there are those in both parties pushing for startups. I'm just happy to see more and more folks talking about us.
- tobylane 15y agoIf I understand the GOP correctly, I don't think they care. A few months ago there was a saying along the lines of "While you're in the womb, you're the most important person in the world to the Republicans, once you're out they don't care". Maybe they care when you have influence, but not before then.
- mkr-hn 15y agoPeople in general have ceded everything to politicians. If no one is writing letters/e-mails to their representatives, all those representatives have to go by is the cable news viewscreen running in their offices. We saw this in how quickly the GOP moved away from reducing Medicare to a voucher program when their base started talking to them about it. We need to find a way to kick off that level of voter involvement with other things.
