The amazing business that doesn't Make Money strikes again!

Not unpredictably, LeftMaps has come under fire from the extreme right lately - because it's not profitable enough.

According to them, LeftMaps has no business existing, because it doesn't make enough money. So it doesn't really count as real work.

In conservaworld, what doesn't Make Money is useless. They consider PBS and NPR useless, because they are not commercial enterprises. Conservatives consider charities useless for the same reason.

Maybe the only thing that's truly useless is their precious "free market." It rewards the garbage that fills commercial TV, while insightful and educational programs on public TV have to seek funding from outside these rigid constraints.

The bailout scandals prove that - in conservaworld - those who have money are the ones who get money.

Money money money money money. That's all they care about.

LeftMaps of course takes exception to this ideology. After releasing Cincinnati area bike routing software in late July, LeftMaps has now completed the latest map in its series. The newest map deals with the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Adams. This map does not however feature index lines, because it may someday be merged with the Downtown map.

To eye these beautiful maps, point your pooper here:

  1. Yeah, all we care about is money. That's why we give more to charity.

  2. Actually, a study came out about a week ago that says the poor give more to charity (on average).

  3. So what? Conservatives still give more. Poor doesn't equal liberal.

  4. The study pretty much debunked your entire argument, Gufus.

  6. "They threatened to hold a rally at every exit off I-275 around Cincinnati. When I made rumblings about keeping an eye on them, they mysteriously ducked out of their planned appearance at the AA Highway exit.

    They didn't show up. At all."


    Yeah I believe this and am sure you were the reason.
