  • Minimum wage where I live is $16.80 an hour, so at 40 hours a week that’s $672 a week, so that’s $34,944 a year or $2,912 a month.

    So potentially, yeah, if they make $3,000 a month and send you $2,000, that could be significant.

    OTOH, at my peak I was pulling down $12,000 a month, so your mileage may vary!


  • How do you open a bookstore for under $10,000?

    Well, first you find a location with $600 a month rent. LOL.

    Floor was $350 and $500 to install it. Bookshelves were $1,100. UV window tint to protect the product was $500.

    From there it’s a matter of setting up accounts with major wholesalers and ordering product.

    Most folks don’t realize this, but in general, the markup on books is around 35% to 55% depending on the publisher and the service.

    I bought a bunch of nice Halloween stock for $6.50 a book, retail is $28.95, which is ridiculous. I’m selling them for $12.95 and still making money on them.









  • It actually does, from your own link:

    “the original version passed by the House included a conscientious objector provision. “A well regulated militia,” it explained, “composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but no one religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, shall be compelled to render military service in person.””

    The whole idea of a “well regulated militia” is an armed populace, with privately owned weapons, able to stand up virtually instantly for the security of a free state.

    The difference between “self defense” and “civil defense” is negligible. The intent was to guarantee private ownership of weapons. The utility of which to be determined elsewhere.
