Atlas Solution: Twice the Economic Stimulus

[flashl]

OUR CHALLENGE TO SHOPPING CENTERS NATIONWIDE

If we can do it, so can other shopping centers. In fact, we're issuing a challenge to every shopping center across the country. The Shops at Atlas Park is approximately 400,000 square feet, and the owner, Damon Hemmerdinger, is giving away $20,000 from his savings; this sum is equal to 5 cents per square foot. The International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) estimates that shopping centers in the US account for 6,856 billion square feet of space. So, if every shopping center across the country joined us and gave away just 5 cents per square foot, an astounding $342.8 billion dollars would be placed into consumers’ hands across the country, along with an encouragement to believe in our future!

To put that in perspective, that's more than twice the total economic stimulus package that the US government just decided to issue

SUPPORT THE ECONOMY
5 WAYS TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY

1) Wear an "I Support the Economy Sticker." If you live in New York, free stickers are available at The Shops at Atlas Park. If you want free stickers mailed to you, for yourself or to give out at your workplace or organization, please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to
"The Atlas Solution," Suite 8306, 71-19 80th Street, Glendale, NY 11385.

2) Spend some money! Every dollar counts! Go ahead, buy your mom or boyfriend a present, or even treat yourself! Feel better knowing that you are demonstrating your confidence in the future of our economy, and that your spending is part of The Atlas Solution.

3) Better yet, invest some money! Most people sadly buy high and sell low out of fear. Now is the perfect time to buy low and hold, which is the best way to invest. A basic guide to investing can be found here.

4) Start your own business! When you work, not only do you earn money, but you help bring value to the economy through whatever goods or services you are helping provide.

5) Tell your local shopping center about The Atlas Solution, and this site! Urge them to join The Atlas Solution.

The Atlas Solution

Had to share, it was too good to past up! :sarcasm:

1. OMG! That's as funny as WIN buttons!

2. Everyone should start their own business...

I can see it now. Every home becomes the base for a lawn care service, and each lawn care service can cut the lawn of the neighbor to their right. At the end of the block, cut the lawn of the neighbor across the street. Full employment over night. Why has nobody thought of this before?

3. heh heh

We can all have babysitting services, and then do each other's laundry (in case we need growth after the lawns run out). We can then Ebay all the stuff from garage sales around town, and the lawn care people will bid up the price. That should keep everyone employed.

4. For a minute there..

... I thought you were serious.

Desperation at every level it would seem.

I am implementing the Billy solution. I'm not spending any money I don't need to for the foreseeable future. :)
