GroupOn Deal-A-Day Sites Destroy American Economy
I don’t know about you, but my emails has been taken over lately by companys such as GroupOn and LivingSocially. For those not familiar with such evil organizations, let me briefly describe how they supposedly work.
Basically, its generally small businesses run by hardworking Americans that get suckered into partnering with these giant bloodsucking parasites. They are promised for no upfront fee expansion of there customer base, theirby increasing there own revenues. Customers get to save money as well when they use a GroopOn deal. Everyone wins, everyones happy, right? Hardly.

The truth is that companies such as GroupOn and LivingSocially are leaches that prey upon the core of the American economy. If you pay close attention, you’ll realize that big corporations do not partner with GropeOn. That is because they got big and successful by being smart and knowing how to make money, and the last thing you want to do if you want to make money is partner with Groupon or LovingSocially.
Obviously the math doesnt work out. There’s no way to add a middleman demanding its cut while offering customers a half-price discount and still make a profit. Indeed, its a recipe for destruction of your small business, something thats hard to succeed at already. Its common knowledge that 95 out of 100 small businesses fail in their first year thanks to Democrats and there love of taxes, and this was before GroupOn, LivingSocially, and their numerous subsidiaries even existed!
What these “deal-a-day” companies realized is there is money to be made in making businesses fail. They are not content with helping those 5% of businesses succeed and share the wealth. No, they want their cut out of the 95% of failing businesses! For when businesses fail, they fail because they run out of money. Groupon wants that money, the faster the better. The equation therefor is to make businesses fail as fast as possible. Devilishly clever indeed.
It is common to hear horror stories of small restaurants offering a goodwill discount to new customers via Groupon, only to be overwhelmed and put out of business instead. If they barely make a profit selling $40 of food, what with all the liberaltard taxes Obama foists upon them, imagine what happens when 500 people descend in one month expecting to pay only $20 for it.
It gets worse: The $20 they spent on the deal, the business only gets half as Groupon takes its massive 50% cut. The business ends up collecting $10 (which is then taxed of course) for $40 of food/service. This is like a 75% discount!
You may think the LivingSocially’s and GroupOn’s of the world are small parasites. After all, how many business owners can be so foolish as to think this could benefit them? The answer: Many. Groupon’s revenue last year was a whopping $760 million! And they are growing rapidly.
Small businesses think customers will come back often and pay regular price, thereby making up the initial loss. However, customers often just come for the groupon deal, never to return. After all, there email is overflowing with other GroupOns from similar businesses, right?
I focus on the American economy today, but actually, Groupon and LivingSocially are expanding rapidly worldwide. However, they are absent in China. I don’t think I need to explain why, but if there are some slow readers, it’s because China is again behind this, yet another way for them to achieve world domination.

Also, have you noticed the names of these companies in the first place? They subliminally program you with sexual innuendo. GroupOn? That’s code for GROPE ON. LivingSocially? Try LOVING SOCIALLY. In other words, your personal information will be used to spam you with emails designed to turn you into a pervert craving orgies, group sex, and molestation. When a person talks to their friends about the deals, they are tricked into saying what sounds like “Hey, I got my grope on today! Did you?” & “Loving socially is fantastic!” Sick, sick smut.
So, where does all this ill-gotten money go? Straight to China, that’s where. Not content to steal our technology and great minds, or profit from killing our pets and children, China is going for the gut of the American economy, hoping to bankrupt it as well.
The first LivingSocially deal was for a Chinese restaurant, in fact. That’s not a coincidence. Since it’s Chinese, it was a safe trial run to see if it could be “put out of business” quickly. But actually, that restaruant ran no risk because it receives money from it’s Groupon parent company secretly. Beware especially Groopon deals for Chinese restaurants.
(Actually, avoid those places totally, unless you like eating your neighbors pets and alley vermin.)
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Wise words.
Please share with others sad stories of businesses run into the ground by partnering with the likes of GroopOn and LivingSocially.

wow ok where do I begin with this train wreck.
1.First off these companies don’t want to see their (small) clients go out of business. That’s just stupid. If they did they would go out of biz as well
2.If you go out of biz because you do a deal you can’t manage, it’s your fault. As you put it about 95% can’t manage it.
3.Most biz go under because it’s a risk. If it wasn’t everyone would have their own biz. Leading causes of death, bad management, timing, mishandling or market saturation. (have experience)
4.And I’m not sure if you understand how taxes work but everyone pays them. So by your irrational argument how would any small business survive? Actually you get a tax discount if you get large enough to lobby congress (dem and Rep)
5.Big chains don’t need them because they have brand exposure and some have marketing budgets bigger than the GDP of a small nation. (have experience)
6.No deal of the day can be traded for sex. I’m pretty sure its in their Ts and Cs. (and I have tried it)
7.Groupon is actually hemorrhaging cash. (they lose about 75 mill a QT) I know there labor over head is massive, not sure about transaction cost.
8.Groupon is publicly traded in NY. So Any idiot can own this company (so china could own some of it. And if they do their losing money)
9.Living social is owned by Steve case (founder of AOL) Lives in Washington DC
10.And as a comfort to you I think these companies will enviably fail. Due to the low barrier to entry as well massive labor over head. (in fact facebook just shut down their deals)
11.Biz is not fair , if you’re bigger you have leverage. I agree with small biz but your argument about shit not being fair is board line socialist. (and blaming taxes is equivalent to blaming gravity for falling)
I could go on but I’m sure I have lost you.

Venus Project FAQ point #105 encourages children to go about unclothed. Also: “The Venus Project feels that sexual preferences are byproducts of a person’s experiences and we make no judgments regarding those preferences.”
Moreover, I am disgusted by this quote: “When you pet a dog you don’t stop at the balls–you stroke the entire dog.”

it doesnt encourage them to go unclothed its saying that children that are raised in say a nudist neighborhood will react differently to different scenarios then some one who was raised in a non nudist area

> wow ok where do I begin with this train wreck.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
>1.First off these companies don’t want to see their (small) clients go out of business. That’s just stupid. If they did they would go out of biz as well
Your lack of reasoning ability is stunning. As clearly stated, GO/LS collect $ when customers purchase the deal vouchers. It is nearly unheard of for companies to rehire GO/LS after the first time. All they need to do to make more $ is to find new companies, which they do all the time.
>2.If you go out of biz because you do a deal you can’t manage, it’s your fault. As you put it about 95% can’t manage it.
3.Most biz go under because it’s a risk. If it wasn’t everyone would have their own biz. Leading causes of death, bad management, timing, mishandling or market saturation. (have experience)
Precisely! A poorly run business bleeds cash. GO/LS want the lion’s share of this poorly spent money.
>4.And I’m not sure if you understand how taxes work but everyone pays them. So by your irrational argument how would any small business survive? Actually you get a tax discount if you get large enough to lobby congress (dem and Rep)
Taxes are an expense, not revenue. They were mentioned in the context of such. Thus, the added expenditure of GO/LS’s massive cut of revenue is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.
>5.Big chains don’t need them because they have brand exposure and some have marketing budgets bigger than the GDP of a small nation. (have experience)
Yes, as I said, big companies know how to make money wisely. GO/LS’s brand of marketing is not wise for anyone but GO/LS.
>6.No deal of the day can be traded for sex. I’m pretty sure its in their Ts and Cs. (and I have tried it)
I never said this. Back to reading class for you.
>7.Groupon is actually hemorrhaging cash. (they lose about 75 mill a QT) I know there labor over head is massive, not sure about transaction cost.
That is a drop in the bucket for the capital investments they continually bring in. Do your research. Google tried to buy GroupOn for $6 billion but was refused. Hmmm, I wonder why?
>8.Groupon is publicly traded in NY. So Any idiot can own this company (so china could own some of it. And if they do their losing money)
This is a lie that it is publicly traded. Show me a chart of its daily trading stock price then. Oh that’s right, you can’t, because it isn’t publicly traded.
>9.Living social is owned by Steve case (founder of AOL) Lives in Washington DC
An ignorant statement. Mr. Case is an investor, but he does not own the company. Fail.
>10.And as a comfort to you I think these companies will enviably fail. Due to the low barrier to entry as well massive labor over head. (in fact facebook just shut down their deals)
If they will fail, then why would so many giants want to purchase them outright? In any case, this is pure conjecture on your part.
>11.Biz is not fair , if you’re bigger you have leverage. I agree with small biz but your argument about shit not being fair is board line socialist. (and blaming taxes is equivalent to blaming gravity for falling)
I do not blame taxes only; taxes are simply a major expense, one that is impossible to shoulder with GO/LS taking their cut.
