    Things change. In order to survive and prosper you must adapt to that change. When I was a kid my smal town had 3 car dealers, a soda manufacturer, a flour mill, a slauter house, a butcher shop, 6 grocery stores, several full service gas stations among others. All gone now with some new additions and the world hasn't come to an end. My last job with the phone company in 1993 was selling pay phones. They are gone. World has not ended and I love my smart phone that forced me into early retirement.

    That's the same thing they said before about Sears, Montgomery Ward & J.C. Penny. Mail order catalog sales were the inter-net of 100 years ago.

    Yeah and how long will Penny's Sears & K-mart be with us is the next question to ask .Shipping,distribution and a main connection to China is the new model for competition.Walmart & Amazon will be around but Target I would not bet on it. The Brick and Mortar business along with drop shop middle man is a thing of the past,my friend.

    The Off Shoring of jobs & storing wealth and avoiding taxes through Tax Haven schemes with illegal immigration is destroying America's model of capitalism bet on it!

    You see most common jobs now are 1099 contractors or minimum wage with no benefits. The common blue collar worker in America has been sold out and the trickle down theory is B.S. but the demise of buying power will be felt on The Small business owner. Even here on GunBroker.
