s. d. butler User ID: 974819 United States 12/08/2012 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Before I opened my herbal practice, I was a drafter and designer at a large-ish architecture firm. I worked on malls and resorts. We had six or so "studios" (departments), each specializing in a different type of arch, i.e. Landscape, schools/gov't, etc. In '08, we began to outsource more and more work to the Phillipines. One person could check their work when it came back and accomplish as much as five drafters here could. Quoting: Mycelium Then the first quarter report came out showing retail and other sectors going down hard. Two weeks later, all projects in my studio were shelved. Two weeks after that, the firm of about 130 people reduced their force to about 25. I was pretty low on the totem pole, so I was among those RIFed. Big blow to me and my family. The market was flooded with drafters and Architects better educated, more experienced and (many were single) willing to work for less than me. Could not find a job in my field that would pay rent. This led me to open my practice which, interestingly grows as people get poorer. My products and services cost about 1/4 of a doc's and, for most things, are as or more effective. For many of my clients, cost made the choice for them. Most, so far, aren't choosing herbal med for some hippy-ish "natural is better" mentality. It's just more affordable. Most of my clients can now handle most of their own care on their own.... for free. Just something to think about. That is capitalism-offering a service that people want. |

s. d. butler User ID: 974819 United States 12/08/2012 10:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Capitalism may have made your country great, but it'll be the thing that destroys it. When the wills/profits of corporations become more important than the people and the peoples representation (supposed, y'know government) then it's gone too far. It just becomes about profit. No morals. They destroy our planet for a quick buck. Poison the citizens with their crap. They are allowed to get away with this shit. Hey, pay a quick fine? Few a few million in fines? Perfectly acceptable since they just made billions. Capitalism eventually creates corporations os powerful they ARE above the law. Heck, their influence can and does create laws to benefit them and disadvantage us. So yeah, capitalism has created the beasts that will consume us. Quoting: Master X Sure capitalism can be great. there's still some hope for small business getting off the ground. Were will you be when they open the rights to everything? Food? Water? GROWING FOOD? Your own genetic material? You so the shit that went down in California with the labeling GMO. they paid for and got you believing it was in YOUR best interest to not have this stuff labelled! There needs to be some sort capitalism that is only allowed to grow if it is of benefit and does no harm. Some sort of regulating body. Yeah, there's plenty, but they're all corrupt too. It boils down to "do your evil and then just pay a fine afterwards" as if that is somehow acceptable. I'm aware I'm not listing things very specifically, but just enough for the point. the corps + gubmint do that damage. you want non gmo food? capitalism will supply it. Your precious big gov + big corp will force you to eat it and give you no alternatives. Last Edited by s. d. butler on 12/09/2012 12:59 AM |
