Most of the great businesses of our time have experimented. Like Google.
Business has to have a seat at the table. Infrastructure isn’t going to be built properly if business doesn’t have a seat at the table. A school is not going to happen if businesses don’t work with schools about what kind of jobs they really need.

Maryland needs someone in Congress who will fight to create jobs, stop out-of-control government spending and defend small businesses.
There’s only one thing you can do in bankruptcy: break your word, break your deals. It allows you to say to the small businesses, who have been catering lunches for you, ‘Sorry, we’re not paying you.’ It allows you to go to the workers and say, ‘Sorry, we’re not paying you.’

When you read reviews on Yelp, you get a good sense of what’s going to happen when you walk in the door of that business. The challenge is that there are fifteen million businesses in the U.S., and its very hard to communicate with all of them about how Yelp works, and why it works the way it does.
Businesses want to be in places where there is a deep talent pool.

Even the best data security systems can’t protect private taxpayer information from entrepreneurial foreign businesses than can make huge profits selling U.S. taxpayer information.
