Get an accountant.

Keep your business bank account separate from your personal bank account.

80% of small businesses close within a couple of years. If that happens, try not to take it personally, it happens to most.

Sometimes, saying “no” to an opportunity is necessary to give you the chance to say “yes” to a better opportunity that comes later.

It is inherently hierarchical to have a situation where men can have multiple wives but women cannot have multiple husbands. Can you see the increased potential for oppression and abuse there?

I’m pretty sure this is the same group which was the subject of “Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey”, a doco from the point of view of some women who escaped. It’s on Netflix. I recognize the mountains in the background.

Yeah, could be. But IMO that happened a long long time ago.

Yes, so it’s a bad article, deserving of a downvote. I am now less likely to click on future newrepublic articles because that one wasted my time.

I wanted the spectacle of my enemy shouting or in tears or being incoherent. Not “mouthing off on a podcast”. That happens every day.
