2 because they're not selling enough goods and/or services to require additional staffing.

3 Because they can't keep up with the big businesses. How many local hardware stores are in your area? Probably not many, because they can't compete with Home Depot or Lowes, which are about the only two stores you can go to.

Same with lumber companies. Same with small grocercy stores, they are all but gone. I have lived in this neighborhood for 25 years, and have seen numerous small businesses fail.

Video stores, with the event of Blockbuster, family owned craft stores, with the event of AC Moore and Michaels, Paint stores close, again because of Lowes and HomeDepot. I find in my older years that we find ourselves with less and less choices. Remember free T.V.? .

Goldie080 replied to post #3: 4 Talking about big and small businesses, I watched PBS Bill Moyers' program on tv tonight, and very very good. One part was that top CEO's earned in one day more than what we in lower echelons (blue collar workers) earned in an entire year! I find it hard to even imagine it.

Lychnobite replied to post #4: 5 the last chart I looked at comparing CEO salaries to the lowest paid workers in a corporation were 35 times more in the 1960s but got as high as 450 times the people in the lower end of payscales and probably higher by now. This user has been banned from Askville.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
