COMMON SENSE DOES NOT PREVAIL IN PANIC!
Common sense does not prevail in panic! Please lets all of us catch our breathe.
If a person has a grocery store medium sizes with about $50- thousand in inventory and each week they sell from 9 to 12-thousands dollars in grocery.
Then suddenly there is panic buying over a virus and their sales spike to 40-thousand in one week. Its really no big deal, but what happens when every story in the country has the same spike in sales not just locally like during a hurricane but nation wide?
Well, lets reason, if its a local disaster then outside aid can come to the rescue, the government can send in food and water to help. But when every store in the USA has the same problem who is there to send aid?
Now compounding this problem is the fact people who are hording, and buying up everything obviously have money to spend wildly and most of them already have food at home, but fear of losing out drives them to buy more because of the panic promoted by the news media and social media!
But what of the family living from pay-check to pay-check how do they get the money to buy food? Well, the truth is they don’t, its just that simple, because they can’t run to the story at the first panic, and when they can buy food they find little or nothing on the selves. And what they can find is left overs at a far greater price than what they normally pay, and furthermore, they must take whatever they can get due to fear!
It doesn’t matter if the government at some point sends money because everyone that has the money are stripping the selves on each new truck load of food coming in. Moreover, those trucks have part orders than what they normally get because every store in the country has the same problem over panic buying!
So we really don’t have a food shortage at all but instead something caused by people that have money to waste buying out of fear; its not even a real food shortage but something caused by panic and greed. Now that not the end of this problem for those who want to feel good about being politically correct in how will they obeyed during a national crises.
You see, its not like most people think that the greed corporate deserve what they are getting! The real power behind our economy that no one talks about is the small business person, not the big corporate powers. Yes, that is right, and when a small store or restaurant is shut down they don’t usually recover.
Do you know why? Because what they sell that week gives them operating capital to open for the next week to pay bills; it is that money that buys the inventory for the up coming week of business. So it won’t be a few hundred death that are lost it will be millions of lives ruined over panic and fear buying.
Home lost, families destroy, unemployment sky rocketing, all the while for people who have never operated a business so they can make some political gain and prove to the rest of us how concern they are about us. Yet, they themselves are the big guy their lives won’t be affected at all, but they certainly will improve their own position in their next run for political office!
Facts: A small business is defined as a business (corporation, limited liability company or proprietorship) with 500 employees or less. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses represent 99.9 percent of all U.S. businesses. Small businesses created 1.9 million jobs in 2015 with some of the smallest firms - those with 20 employees or less - adding over half of the positions with a 1.1 million increase. As of 2018, the SBA estimates there are 30.2 million small businesses employing a total of 58.9 million workers.
Small businesses contribute to local economies by bringing growth and innovation to the community in which the business is established. Small businesses also help stimulate economic growth by providing employment opportunities to people who may not be employable by larger corporations. Small businesses tend to attract talent who invent new products or implement new solutions for existing ideas. Larger businesses also often benefit from small businesses within the same local community, as many large corporations depend on small businesses for the completion of various business functions through outsourcing.
