Etsy

I have shops on Etsy. Two of them, one for original ooak work, and one for vintage.

Today I saw the INC article on Etsy's founder, "raking in millions at his online 'fleamarket" Up til now, I never thought of Etsy quite that way. I thought it was "Buy, Sell, Live Handmade"

But I've been wrong before.

Then I thought I'd ask a question in the Etsy forums, but one of the admins said it might take 5 years to get an answer. Really? I just don't have that kind of time.

Sorry Etsy, you disappoint me.

where's my Bailout?

Today GM said it may cut a bunch of its' workforce. It "lost" billions last year."Lost" - as in paid out more than they took in. "Lost" meaning paid out to employees, who then supported the economy with their paychecks. And also paid out in bonuses to CEOs, and who knows what happens with that- probably "lost" in the Caymans, or on Wallstreet, or at the Mercedes dealer...

Why are bonuses paid out for failure? Why are companies still in business when they don't show a profit? How does that work? I mean, after 3-4 years of negative numbers, how is it they still pretend to be viable?

Something here is just not right..
