The Breet Report

There are a lot of small businesses that want to provide job security to their employees.  Job security boosts the economy and makes people “happy go lucky,” pushing any company forward in the markets – a competitor.  The mounting issues many small businesses are facing now is a what is commonly known as a monopoly to push the small businesses out of existence. Well, why not?

Small businesses are competitors.  Slice it, dice it, and rip it apart – small businesses have what huge corporations don’t have and that is home grown competitors doing a better job with customer service, productivity, and beating the socks off competitors.  The data has been around for years.  How to get rid of competitors?  Rise the rates to everything that made them a thorn in the sides…

“Across the country, businesses already strapped by the economy to turn a profit are sacrificing or scaling back employee health insurance plans because of escalating costs.  The crunch has particularly socked smaller employers, who have become a centerpiece in the debate over how to overhaul the nation’s health care system.” - source 1 below -

The people that have constructed the markets have chocked out the ma and pa stores.  Ma and pa stores come in many forms, but by golly – they are the ones with the really neat stuff.  Is it pricey?  Yeah, because they are going out in the trenches to the trade shows to find these things.  When anyone travels to the big retailers, all one gets is the same stuff.  Everyone looks and dresses the same! Agh! What happened to original?  Geesh.

The life blood of what built this nation, all of the ma an pa stores, has its place in America.  The shenanigans that have chocked therefore closed so many doors – should remember one thing – YOU KICKED THEIR BUTTS! Ha!  Small businesses took money from the big fish and now the big fish decided – “let’s make silly stipulations to kill and conform everybody.”

What can anyone do?

Do what I do – travel and seek out the nearest ma and pa run business.  Is it expensive? Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t, overall it is very much worth it.  Not only does one keep being original, this supports the local community is so many ways and that is what killed the competitors.  The taxes small businesses pay actually go back to that local area! The graphic charts from earlier this year prove it, and Texas has done their homework to provide (and prove) that tid-bit.

Buy local from your ma and pa store. Travel to a farmers market.  Be a contender with them if anyone really does not like the legislation for the tweaking economic times.  Score!

Efforts to building the economy and creating job security is as easy as local buying.  The benefits to buying local from small businesses are well documented. Local buying though is frowned upon by the larger businesses/corporations.  What could buying local do in providing you with benefits?

Buying local means to go and visit small businesses in your surrounding area. Making purchases from the small businesses will increase the need for employees – locally.   Buying local promotes green living, penny pinching, and healthier living for each of us and our families.  Buying local puts money back into the surrounding community in which we live.

Efforts are being made in different localities of our country on how to handle the budget crisis and credit crunch.  All of us are learning about budgeting now, so this is affecting us as well. The localities are getting creative with addressing the concerns of not just meeting their needs, but the public needs.  Each of us though can make a bigger difference by locally supporting small businesses and help ourselves out by taking on the buy local attitude.  This is not to say that the global trading is bad, however, there would be a side effect and it will be addressed.

When we buy local from small businesses, the benefits and quality of products is found to be better.  During this day and age, it is important to know the contents of what you are purchasing.  This method is known as green living.

Green living has taken on many different aspects now, but what is it?

Green living is where the public does not provide a demand for certain “valuable” items.  What can be produced in the local surrounding area is just as valuable as anything else we create.  Green living is also the acknowledgment to the conservation.  Green living is using what is local (and already found in our homes) to limit the waste problem we facing in our area.  The waste problems in our areas have shown impact on our health and that of the environment.

Green Living Side Effects

The conservation of fuel that transports the valuable items.  The price of fuel is still buoying up and down, creating havoc in everyone’s wallet. Would it not be nice to know what you can buy local from a small business to conserve the fuel in your vehicle?

The effect to the conservation of fuel is the conservation of time.  We all know that life is busy and hectic with just our daily concerns. Conservation of your time to do other things would result because you know where to buy locally.

Green living is also about conservation and value of nature. When buying local from small businesses our surrounding areas begin to improve. Limited travel means, limited toxins being released from our vehicles. Plants start to produce a “greener,” healthier look.  Science still debates this, but look at a major highway.  Are things greener there or in the surroundings where you live?

When we buy local the benefits of jobs are created.  The job security that has been lacking in this country for over twenty-years will come back.  The local small businesses will meet the demand of the public.  This will in turn continue the conservation of fuel and conservation of time.

In continuing to meet the demands of the public, local small businesses have been known to meet the penny pinching demands too.

Within the last couple of hours of writing this, there was an article from The Nation about Shop Locally that just posted.

The more economic savvy everyone becomes the great chance for not only greener living, penny pinching, and healthier living, but job security returns!

How does this effect the global trading?

Greener living start to happen on a global scale.  This ensures the quality of life for everyone to have in the future.  Acknowledgment to the conservation is needed everywhere to restore the balance of nature.  Nature gives us life to have wonder produce or nicknacks from our local areas.  Harmful pollutants of fuel, coal burning, and ocean debris start to become limited.

The individuals that run the huge corporations will start to find other methods to limit the diversity of products.  (Proven when the ma and pa stores started to become scares.) If our products are so diversified now, why do all look and act the same?

Look it boils down to the quality of life one wants.  The grab, take, and hording methods have not proven effective for the preservation of life.

As a society we are not supporting each other in a “time of need”.  The generosity and compassion it takes to help one another through turmoil’s – be it of a Natural event or economic – have really taken a nose dive. Earlier this year that was proven when the study came out, and written about here in January or February, where people only make donations – not help – to a local charity.  Generosity and compassion are staples that are taught to a child or children growing up, among other things of course. Why is it we have made the choice not to show and execute these simple acts of kindness continuously?

See as we continue to hear, what to be afraid of, who is to blame, and the rigmarole of hot air circulating the newswires, or what have you – it is not saying, “in the mean time, here is what you can do to help each other.” 

Have you ever noticed that most economies seem to thrive off of chaos and mayhem now? Do you ever wonder why?  I do and the answers I have, I do not like. Recently, as we have all been effected by the economy and as I have written about before, things are changing.  We are all connected and change is going to happen. 

One of the many changes that we are going to see and have begun to see is the suicide and/or additional infliction of harm to oneself.  Having touched on before what happened in the 1970’s, as our own history has shown us, people address (not deal with) stress in a multitude of ways.  Seeing as how the population has increased significantly, I find it hard to believe that locations for assistance were not already in and running.  If they were, I do not understand why people were not hired and trained to address those in need.  Everyone is up in arms about jobs, and job security – why was this not done? 

Sure I have already spoken about this topic but not in this manner. Go back and read the older entries on credit and the like.  Proven information – that we had not been through personally, but there was already a way for it to be resolved and addressed effectively.  Why were the support networks and assistance not given? 

I am really tired of hearing “time is money.”  No, time is time (and that really only exists in our minds, remember you are not suppose to be sitting on your butt day in and day out) and money is money – one’s generosity and compassion is priceless.  Extend that out to anything you may do in life and you will find that it returns to you three fold. 

We have the capability to help each other, not seek assistance from the government ALL THE TIME.  Say if I have a bigger backyard, I can grow veggies – say my neighbor has something – barter.  That is coming back but that is something that requires interaction – compassion and generosity.  Really, think about it.

The likely hood of survival will increase a great deal – especially once other things start to occur. I have written about them before – the getting there part is something that changes all the time.  (I am speaking about the animals, fresh water, droughts, etc.)

We need to care not just about the environment but about each other too.
