Here’s recipe for your perfect, socially responsible business

Much in the news currently about how socially irresponsible big American business remains. What is needed to counter this bad behavior is more wonderful people to get into the business arena.

Having started several businesses in my lifetime (the greedy- obscene profit type) I feel qualified to give guidance on the basics of these startups and advise on how to make your business the more benevolent type.

The product/service must have infinite perfect utility, can be exchanged at any time, reduce greenhouse gases during its creation and use, and have no triggers.

The pricing of the product must use the FFF principle (fair flexible free). No set price, pay what you can and free if desired.

Your business “family” will be diverse with all races, sexes, sexual orientations, transitioners, BMIs and every possible combination therein represented . Restrooms will be provided for each classification so as to make all comfortable and serene.

The “living wage” for all is set by each individual. Medical, dental, fertility, and pension plans to be the best. All sober and earnest attempts at conception are to be compensated (suggest honor system here).

Business decisions must involve all strata of the organization and the community. The correct outcome will be deemed to have been reached when all participants feel really good about themselves and their wonderfulness is broadcast to the world.

Good luck.
