There's a lot of brand new construction here in my area, beautiful brick clad construction, filled with non-sensical small businesses like "No-Brand Computers" (where you know last years products line the shelves under a patina of dust, and the guy behind the counter doesn't know any more about computers than you do), and "Yet Another Nail Salon and Tuscan Day Spa" (as if the tanning bed upstairs in the spare room equate to "Day Spa", and you add "Tuscan" to lend it some panache), and GOP Party HQ (which I'll assume isn't a full-time enterprise, or a small business even).<br> <br> It's amazing what Business Plans banks are providing loans for because an awful lot of people are otherwise willing to risk their livelihoods on endeavors that just don't make good financial sense.<br> <br> Yes, yes, maybe you want to sell beads, you want to be the Beading Czar, and you're willing to sit in a chair for hours on end, just not on Sunday, mind you, and have people browse the bead bins to make their perfect bangle chain. But does that make you automatically a success? Do you deserve to succeed because you have a passion for beads and you're willing to live in a bead store selling them? Do we need a bailout for bead stores??<br> <br> And is your failure indicative of a bad business environment? <br> <br> Was it really Bush's fault, c'mon, don't we all know who they're going to blame?, that nobody wants to buy a cell phone, or beads, or any number of other "small business" type products, from your store, one of fifteen in the same mall?<br> <br> When folks complain about losing jobs overseas, they aren't complaining that the "Measuring Cup Pantry" was moved overseas. And, conversly, is America going to survive with nothing but small business bringing in paychecks?<br> <br> I'd imagine we'd get more bang for the buck assuring the survival, and sound fitness, of the big industries which fueled our emergence as a civilization.<br> <br> I'd say people should be working for businesses and industries that make sense. The Mom & Pop's should be the exception that adds the spice and flavor, and not the backbone.<br> <br> Naturally, I don't want them infecting that backbone with the cancer of onerous taxation or government control either.
