Did we just lose Target?

[...]

do you want a poor govt?

Yes.

 

[...]

The account rep. I talk to today said we are not losing Target, but we are losing some of the volume sometime this summer. Fear of Work stoppage related possibly? I don’t know.

It's all surepost anyway. Good riddance.

Not all of it, but you’re right a good portion of it and it’s complete garbage, would not hurt my feelings.

Guy next to me in our loop has a dreaded Target pickup that I've gotten stuck covering a few times. Anyway, he says to me the other day that their receiver told them that their ditching us and are gonna start moving their own stuff soon. Has anyone else heard anything similar?

I'm sure this is the way big box stores are going. UPS is chasing small to medium business.

I didn’t invest in anything, never was asked they just took it, that’s quite a bit different than investing. I don’t recall Apple, taking money out of my paycheck and investing it without my consent. I was unaware it’s the governments job to invest. I thought it was to protect us, and to provide basic services.

govts do invest heavily in things. drugs, computers, internet, gps, satellite, etc.

i would guess you cant count on the free market for investment / its bad economics to do so. the govt does lots of things without asking. if it was more democratic, there would be a referendum on what to invest in.

You poor, misguided fool.

pretend i never said capitalism and instead said centralized power in economic systems.

I'm sure FedEx is out drumming for our business right now.

Yes.

i like "capitalism" if its just 1 owner no employees, or 2 co-owners no employees. that doesnt concentrate power. i dont even consider that capitalism.

and thats assuming its sustainable.

What's wrong with having employees?

The process of getting rid of the gold standard also started in 1913.

@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U you got a problem with something I said here?

What's wrong with having employees?

because the owners have too much power even when its unionized. ive never done a just unionized job as an employee; the union was never good enough.

id be in favor of 3/4/5/etc co-owners.

Why shouldn't owners have power to control their own business?

well they should but they shouldnt have the right to mistreat their workers, which they do. the power corrupts.
