Well because it only continue the divide of the rich and poor?

Im all for capitalism but we need to push companies to treat employees better than this.
 
Crane Paper Company is going kaputs too. I used to really like using their paper back in my Patrick Bateman days.

 
Confused why the clothing companies are filing for bankruptcy. Don’t most people just do clothes shopping online these days? I’m delivering a ton of gap, j crew and stuff like that on the daily.

I rarely go to the mall but last few times I did I remember myself being the only person in the store and getting hounded by the retailers right when I walked in

So, since the government has been pumping so much fake money into the economy, I assume that we’re now allowed to scan and print our own “currency” on our home printers?

A lot of people buy in store still. Also, they need to pay their rent while bringing in no income from their retail space.

But yeah, I do 90% of my clothes shopping online.

Why not try it? Tell me how it comes out. I'm sure it will be both interesting and educating.
 
Write e-books on COVID and how it applies to each business. Plenty money to be made right there.

Like a guide for a bar to open up, to minimize COVID exposure. Most of the shit you can pull from online or city/county/national guidelines.

Many farms selling food directly to consumers.

Have you ever bought food direct from the farmer? I costs more than the grocery store.

Well, of course. You have to understand the food supply chain:

Consumer <-- Farmer <-- Local deli <-- Kohl's <-- Grocery store <-- Costco <-- Home Depot <-- FiatChrysler <-- China

Thats because they don't want to undercut their retail accounts regardless of category.
If they elect to sell direct it's usually above a suggested retail price.

It didn't use to be that way. When I was a kid, farmers stands sold their produce considerably less than the grocery stores and had higher quality to boot. What happened to those days?

Corporate contracts these days as local farmers are fewer and far between. Most farms are larger and almost corporate. Its standard practice in distribution oh most any product line to never undersell your distributors.

I'm not talking about corporate farm stands. I'm talking about these itty-bitty stands that small farms have along the road out front of the family farm. They're all over Western Oregon and Eastern Washington. I've seen a few in Eastern Oregon. Mostly truck farms but also single items like Walla Walla onions, cantaloupe, watermelons, raspberries, strawberries, apples, pears, filburts, Concord grapes and on and on and on.

The U.S. supplies about 3% of the world's rice. California isn't the only state the grows a significant amoung of rice. Louisiana, South Carolina and other states grow a lot of our rice, too. Source - Alton Brown and Good Eats.
