The trouble with Pure Capitalism is it’s a race to the bottom and the guy with the most money wins.

And usually that guy is the one who’s the pushiest, meanest, or least honest.

So Pure Capitalism is about rewarding the psychopaths and bullies.

I want tougher laws against big companies. I want big stores to hit a limit so other places can give more choices and have a chance to support themselves. I mean thinking about trying to start up a company these days and competing in an honest way against some of these giants is really not a fun idea.

Sorry for the rant? But a 3rd generation store nearby finally shut down because it couldn’t compete with the advertising budget of a place with over 1000 stores that opened up nearby. They lasted 3 years in direct competition. But the fight just slowly bled them dry.

The owner was practically crying during the last week as he basically gave everything away. They had good quality. Made in America stuff. But couldn’t compete with a place standing nearby with cheap China imports.

Man. There’s got to be a better way to get things done than this.

Seriously.
