Thanks Alex i thought it was a very interesting read. Rarebird posted very interesting statistics on the growth of American small business. My thoughts are not political but concern as to the larger corporate growth that fuels the rest of the world. Numerous companies have increasing revenue base but increasing costs, so the bottom line has an appearance that ends up in the red constantly because of the cost of the continued revenue comes from increased R&D that borders on infinite in this point in time in order to compete. On the less tech side competition is fierce. You can call it a dog eat dog environment or whatever you choose but corners can only be cut so far and everybody gets shot in the foot. It is difficult for small business to promote national growth. There is an area where i live that for some reason unknown to me brings unhappiness out. The area for some reason i look at as the forward condition of the economy. It was place where gangs met and staked turf they were not meeting lately there have been a couple of shoot out in the area again. This morning an attempted robbery. It says things are not all rosey in LA to me. I dont see a slow down in employment because i am blinded due to those around me who are being sought. If costs have increased too much for those who make less I might be seeing the beginning of very many acting out not happy, I hope not. Spoken as eye to eye observation not conclusion.
