My first thought is a chain of non-profit grocery stores.

The Foundation for the collection of antimatter.

I know they say never make your hobby your job, but I still think the right answer here is "pornographer."

Fair trade, recycled and all natural store. I had a business called Green Lady but sold wholesale to others-I'd have my own shop this time.

I would start a medical marijuana growing and distribution company

I would like to turn my back yard into a community garden. I just don't have the funds and energy to clear the land and upkeep the garden.

Video game development

A franchise of free grocery stores managed by low-income people.

I'd open a hair salon catering to curly hair. It's hard to find stylists who know how to cut my hair. Most of the time I have to fix my cut after a salon trip.

A low cost chain of universities for people in third world countries who could not otherwise afford to continue their education.

Start a zero cost university of science for gifted young people who would otherwise not have an opportunity for advanced study. One of my lifelong dreams.

A brewery. But i'd need a million...

I would start a business that involves selling items I love to create. A business that has items people will want, but only if they are unique and special. This way I can work in what I love and the money coming in is something good too.Click on [tastefulspace.com]

I'd like a little restaurant. Nothing fancy, just a little burger joint.

I would open a chain of old folks homes geared specifically for dorks, and do it up right. Top of the line medical care combined with wings that look like Gondor, the old Battlestar Galactica set, that shit would be gold. If anyone steals my idea, hook me up with a room!

Co-op Brothel?

A cafe / cat adoption center combo. The cafe would have some of the more friendly cats hanging out, and then the more shy cats would have their own building off the cafe.

A community art center. The local one here burned down 10 years ago & nothing ever "fully" took it's place. That type of outlet has really suffered since. Maybe I'm crazy but I can even feel the void even in the daily attitudes of the locals.

something that helped wildlife

I think I might buy some land and build small frame houses to sell to the working poor. I got lots of people wanting to buy houses. I can't find enough houses priced right to meet the demand. New home prices are outrageous. There are lots of vacant lots scattered all over Dallas that can be bought for a song. But the city won't allow frame houses to be built on them, so they just sit there. Sad ! I'd have to go outside the city limits. Just a thought. If they would let me put mobil homes on those lots, I can get mobil homes free, just for hauling them off.

A grassroots lobby group... like we need another one of those

So many choices ..... doggie daycare, food co-op, housing / shelter for thrown away LGBT kids - hell throw in some job training and life skills classes. If the LGBT thing works, then do it for Vets. I'd make loans to people so they could get away from payday lenders.

How to live healthy self substainable homes and food lives without the Federal Governments.

Doing that now, but the Corperationism Government keeps getting in the way.

I'd set up offices buildings in purple states and lure liberal tech companies there for everyone's benefit and profit.

Something in promising renewable energy technology.
