A observation

The past couple of years I have been watching small businesses around me shutting the doors, primarily because they can’t find help and the owners are tired of coming in on what should be THEIR days off, and being forced to do the work themselves for not enough money, the shoe appears to be on the other foot now. But the boys on Wall Street tell us it’s not a third world country yet?

If you are a business owner and don't feel like it's your responsibility to cover any staff shortages you deserve to go out if business. Business that can't find and or keep employees are the same as shippers that can find anyone to more their loads. Check your rate/pay. Money is the grate equalizer.

It is true that small businesses have been struggling to find and retain employees in recent years, and this has led to many closures. The reasons for this are complex and multifaceted, but some contributing factors include low wages, lack of benefits, and poor working conditions.

While it may be true that some larger corporations have benefited from this situation by increasing profits, it is important to remember that the overall health of the economy is not determined solely by the stock market or the actions of finwall Street. Many factors contribute to the economic well-being of a country, including the health of small businesses and the overall employment rate.

It is also important to note that the economic challenges faced by small businesses and their employees are not unique to the United States. Similar issues have been reported in other countries around the world.

Some of you have short memories, who bailed us out when the banks crashed in 2008? Communist China! Recently we have seen some of the biggest bank failures ever, and banks are continuing to fail, last week Moody’s down graded 11 more regional banks, who is going to bail us out this time? Russia? China? Very doubtful, most of the world is backing Russia and China at this point, we told NATO to sanction China for supporting Russia, they gave us the finger instead, the evidence is all around us, you should ask yourself what your retirement fund will be worth after a currency collapse, about as much as Confederate money was after the south lost.
