Idealized Rationality

Money is not evil, it is merely a facilitator of exchange. It is greed that is evil, whether for money, food, or power. Capitalism inspires innovation and direction. Socialism protects the weak an ill-fortuned. Why must we have a dichotomy?

I am focusing on business ideas based on technologies which work to clean-up or positively impact the environment as a whole. These plans generally require multiple additional equipment that is not commonly utilized, but that could increase or create a profit margin. Look for new twists on old ideas and completely new ideas entirely. I am willing to work with anyone seriously interested in seeing any of these ideas to fruition.

Sincerely and in good faith,

Thrifty shopper

Website where anyone can post the price of a given product and do a search for the price of a product at local retailers. The retailers would (eventually?) post their prices voluntarily in order to encourage people to visit.

Retailers could advertise for pay, but prices would still be listed regardless. (I imagine retailers trying to plug other options such as selection and fast checkout time)

Ability to create a shopping list and then find the cheapest retailer that has all of the items listed.

Bar code photo to identify product for search/posting?

Optimized for smart phones so people can do a search on the run.

Overlay on google maps with price and relative location.

Begin in one city and then spread, similar to craigslist.

Original creator would need to run around and update prices until a decent group of followers occurred.

Internet marketing to show at top of searches for products and retailers.

Iphone/droid App?

 Everyone wants to save money, so I'd imagine once a base has been established it would become popular. Feel like doing this in bullet form:
