Where are all the starving children?

I'm back baby
For years we have been told that without school lunches kids would starve. We have been told that for some kids the only way they get to eat is at school. In fact it was so dire that we had to expand it to school breakfasts and even after school meals

Well, thanks to the china virus kids haven't been in school which means they aren't getting their school lunches

Which then begs the question. Where are all of the starving children? Shouldn't they be out on the streets begging for food like a Charles Dickens story?

Man, are you ever a loser lowlife. Why don't you go pump your fists and march over imaginary rights with the other angry swine instead of being a posturing baboon of a keyboard jockey? What, you too petrified to join in? Maybe you live in Nowheresville and can't. That would explain the clueless chest-thumping as you'd never see it. Basically that means it doesn't exist, eh? Watching your type slowly implode is entertaining nonetheless.

They are still being fed at the taxpayer's expense.

Oh my touche !
 
Not sure why you so called Conservatives continue to fight decent wages for the working man!

Decent wages are all spent right back into the economy and keeps people off of food programs.

Your stubborn efforts are self-defeating!

Profits are not spent right back into the economy?

I don't think you know what a profit is.

"A financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something".

LOL, Legion has about a first grade understanding of economics. There was a time not that long ago that corporations were literally sitting on 2 trillion dollars in cash. Which is akin to putting it into a mattress. Much of it was held overseas because those corporations don't want to pay to repratriate it. When they finally do, it's usually to buy back their own stock.

So what?

Money is eventually recirculated right back into the economy by investment or spending. Money by itself is valueless. Nobody is "sitting on" corporate profits without earning something.

Is that so? When will someone teach you to spell "repatriate"? :rofl2:

Meanwhile, in the real world:

Warren Buffett’s investment career started early and in a somewhat unexpected manner.

One of his early investments was in high school, when he and a friend bought a used pinball machine for $25 and installed in a barbershop. The game proved to be popular with the barbershop’s clientele, so the entrepreneurial duo reinvested their profits to buy more pinball machines. In time, they had eight machines in several shops.

Eventually, they sold their venture, and Buffett used his portion of the proceeds to buy stock and then launch another business. By the time he was 26, he’d accrued $174,000 -- or $1.4 million dollars worth of value in today’s market.

Undoubtedly the most successful investor of the 20th century recognized the value of reinvesting early on!

Reinvesting is the best way to build wealth. If you’re a business owner, reinvesting is crucial to your company’s continued growth and success. It’s worth keeping in mind that investing isn’t just about a sudden influx of cash -- your time and experience are also extremely valuable.

Obviously, Buffett didn’t get to where he is today because of a few lucky financial investments -- his ability to choose wisely, and direct finances to the most profitable ventures contributed significantly to his success. If you can apply your time, knowledge and experience in a way that profits your company in the long term, you’ll be making a valuable investment.

For any business that’s looking to grow, some form of reinvestment is necessary. It doesn’t have to be all of your profits, but a significant amount of resources, when targeted effectively can dramatically improve your bottom line. With this in mind, let’s look at a few ways that you can expand your business by reinvesting in your company.

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “reinvest” is likely a financial reinvestment. Redirecting a portion of profits back into the business can help the establishment to grow and position itself for long-term success.

Most startups need to reinvest heavily. This is because new businesses aren’t able to compete on the same level as the big guys. An aggressive expansion strategy is often in order to get the company up to speed and to the point where it’s able to enter the marketplace as a serious contender.

The exact amount that you should reinvest will vary. The key is to reinvest based on a strategy, rather than a set percentage. Be strategic, and apply funds in line with your specific development plan and your business needs, but don’t invest to the point of cutting other aspects of your company short. Make sure there’s enough to cover all of your other expenses.

One common reinvestment is making business improvements. If you’re a business owner, then you likely have a list of areas that could be enriched with additional capital. Improving infrastructure, streamlining manufacturing, strengthening customer support, a refined marketing strategy -- these can all directly benefit your business, increase your profits and decrease expenses, and give you more capital to work with.

An investment in marketing will often pay off. I firmly believe the adage that you have to spend money to make money. However, it’s important to be smart with your marketing, and continually track the progress of your promotional initiatives.

When embarking on a marketing campaign, quantify the results that you can expect so you will be able to monitor the success of the campaign. Ask yourself how many new leads you expect it to generate, and in turn what increase do you expect to see in your sales?

External acquisitions are another route that some companies can benefit from. In Procter & Gamble’s acquisition of Gillette, the acquisition was a success because P&G had stronger sales in some emerging markets and Gillette in others. Together, the companies were stronger and were able to bring products to new markets faster.

It's vital to invest in staff and build a strong workforce. At Renters Warehouse, we recently rolled out a new HR, digital payroll and healthcare offering for our employees to provide them with marketplace discounts, ongoing training and education and substantial healthcare benefits. Take care of your employees and keep them happy. They’ll look forward to coming to work, and will be more loyal to your company.

For some situations, it may even be beneficial to take on debt to grow. While this sounds counter-intuitive, when done carefully and in line with a strategic plan for expansion, a loan can be an excellent catalyst for development. In October, Renters Warehouse took on a first of its kind $1,000,000 loan from Central Bank in Minnesota. The funds are being injected into rapid expansion, as well as support for the franchise division. There will also be an investment in marketing and personnel.

This isn’t the first time that we’ve opted for reinvestment in pursuit of an aggressive growth strategy. In early 2014, we re-invested over $150,000 to target and acquire strong franchisees in key markets. Armed with a bold development strategy, we were able to double the total revenue for Renters Warehouse's Franchise Division, and grow our total number of franchises over 100 percent.

A financial reinvestment, applied strategically, can pay off tremendously in terms of long-term development.
