I happen to think right now is a good time to start a business. No better time to build business skill. If you survive the next few years, you'll be established enough for when the economy turns the corner. If you are able to be successful now, you'll be overwhelmingly successful when things get better.

Besides, if you wait until the economy turns around, then you'll be up against every Tom, **** and Harry who want to hang out their own shingles while singing "Happy Days are Here Again".

Microsoft was founded in 1975, at the end of the 1973 recession, during a rapidly escalating economy.

The Bill and Melissa Gates foundation are re-building a library around the corner from my house...I'm not sure what you mean by that post, but from what I understand they are some of the most generous philanthropists around.
