Resources Wasted??
>>What is more expensive, for me to drive to a store, or several stores, spend the whole afternoon doing it, or if the Fedex or UPS guy makes an extra stop (101 instead of 100) on my block?>>
Joe:
Appreciate your thoughts. I just squared off against Dave on the Yahoo NXTL thread about the value of network marketing in this mix.
The big thing to ponder: Think of the impact on the ultimate resource which we can never get more of....TIME.
>>But think about millions of people who are employed as middlemen, who will be freed to find more productive occupations.>>
Freed up to think more creatively in ways that benefit them as individuals more directly. The old physical & plant- based marketing and distribution model which continually churned employees, customers and resources required a huge implied mark-up to survive. WallMart was able to apply mass-buying and distribution technologies to this equation. If Wallmart doesn't get on the internet they, too, will be toast.
>>Don't you think that it is the ultimate waste of resources to build gigantic malls with huge parking lots with thousands of people who's sole job is to mark up the prices?>>
In 20 years these malls with be the next senior citizen centers - complete with put-put golf courses, shuffle board areas and perhaps little canals you can float little boats around in.
Now I suppose that's a waste of resources.
But look at Disney World.....
