Our customers are families - and they stop spending even the last week of October - because Halloween is a budget buster.<br /><br />The super bowl is a budget buster... every paycheck is accounted for ... and anything added... pizza, beer, chips... means they don't spend on other things.<br /><br />Nail parlors, gold buyers and tattoo parlors are popping up where women's stores, formal wear and music stores went out of business. <br /><br />So the need for 'small business' .. and we have a GREAT niche... is drying up as well.

The corporations who give us open borders, off shoring, and sovereignty-dilution trade agreements, among other things, fit into that category well. They are large enough and politically influential enough to be able to enjoy "crony capitalism" as well. So they enjoy the income they can obtain from low wages anywhere in the world and from manipulating the political process. (There is also the problem of the financial elite who have done much damage by fiddling with money and disconnecting it from productive activity.)<br /><br />There's another kind of "capitalism" that leftists like to talk about. It is the heavily-regulated and taxed bastard, gelded, immobilized goat version of something or other where the vitality of entrepreneurship and genuinely free markets is wrung out of the economy. So we have not socialism but a fascism lite with the government controlling everything with a blossoming, metastasizing network of regulations and inspectors and tax eaters. However, the current situation is held up as "capitalism" from which we must flee <em>eo instante</em> into the arms of our socialist and communist masters.<br /><br />All of the above refers to economic actors who act with either a disembodied pursuit of profit or in aid of a yet more destructive political control. <br /><br />The possibility of actual free markets thus ends up being discounted, even worked against. Economic life gets controlled by grifters, sociopaths, and Stalinists. If it is useful to talk about "destructive capitalism" I think there is an obligation to recognize that a ton of our problems have come about because we refuse to acknowledge the enormous value of having small business who DO have the interests of the citizens as their primary objective. In the process, too, we all need to focus on how the federal government (and the uber-diseased E.U.) have grown to such enormous proportions as to be beyond popular control. In short, we need to refocus on liberty. Too many individuals and entities are profiting at the expense of liberty.Col. B.

Once wages will further rise in China-South East Asia, there will be plenty of consumers to buy more products. However, I'm afraid that this is also only a transition phase. It's not a matter of money, they can print as much as they want. It's a matter of power and control. Once the elites reach the point to control all the resources and the means of production, the model will change from capitalism to global feudalism.system failure due to insufficient evolution?https://www.blogger.com/profile/06502935674214763698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-3237844903310570692014-11-17T16:31:13.603+02:002014-11-17T16:31:13.603+02:00So, sorry to tell folks like "anonymous"...So, sorry to tell folks like "anonymous" and others that this is NOT a sociological issue, it is a purely economic issue. It is this simple: consumer spending drives capitalist economies. The amount of consumer spending is directly related to the disposable income of individuals participating in that economy. And where do we get disposable income? Wages. Wages are the source of the majority of Americans disposable income, i.e. consumer spending. No jobs = no wages = no one to buy products and services = stalled and then crashed economy.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-25035579982354651442014-11-10T07:20:58.083+02:002014-11-10T07:20:58.083+02:00I traveled the country as a trucker for years.

I figured out was for cheaper labor and no regulations. But the first thing i thought,was what jobs will replace all these ones we are losing.? This went on for years, sometimes the amount of people losing their jobs was incredible. Now i look around and there are so many people unemployed and all i hear about is high tech jobs. Yeah.. will i can only see so many of those. The schools push common core which is heavy on math. I guess they think we need engineers and scientist. And with this whole global economy thinking, Kids get to compete with all the future scientist from around the world. I think this isn't thought out to well.<br /> The U.S. seem's to be the worlds exporters of death right now. So i wonder about our governments thinking. I don't see much long term thinking anyhow.2015 should be an interesting year. Many of the things our president wanted or started come into play. Along with the cost of which the public will learn about soon.<br /> I recommend this web site,check it out for a week. Learn some things from non PC thinking people.

Fully automated societies would be a huge step for humanity to solve many problems as long as serve equally all humans and respect the environment. Current sociological model is deeply rely on inequality more and more, expanding fast. Even capitalism in its classical form won't work for the benefit of all humans under full automation. Instead of truly evolve towards a more viable model the system "evolves" to an opposite direction bringing nightmarish imbalances and instability.

If robot factories are the future then let them be located in America. <br /><br />While they would not necessarily be a massive creator of jobs they would at least allow us to have control of our own manufacturing. Over the last three decades robots have become far more common in factories many have become dominated by robots. The article below looks at this job killer and how it might effect all of us.<br /><br />http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/04/robot-factories-mean-less-jobs.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-70922440874063847872014-07-30T19:15:08.322+03:002014-07-30T19:15:08.322+03:00It's not that simple I'm afraid.
