Another business goes down under the outstanding management of the economy.

Anyone with Arthur Brayne could tell you that when the peasantry are 'getting too much in return for their labour' - under the Keating thing of 'over-heated economy' - meaning the fat cats feel threatened by the unwillingness of the peasants to kow-tow for a crust of bread and a tent by the river ..................... and the Guv'nah decides to make their life hard by bringing in millions of Outlanders to flood the economy and make their living harder and their costs of living through the roof of that tent (they can no longer buy a house) ..............

...... the ordinary scum - those cattle in the fields worthy of no more consideration from the passing laird than a heap of dung ......... don't have the money to buy the little extras that keep most small to middling businesses alive......

So places like Barbecues Galore - which only sell a limited number of barbies - must rely on the small things - and when the peons don't have the discretionary........ sales go right out the arsehole of the business and down the gurgler.

Surely you noticed over the years how pharmacies and newsagents branched out into countless small things to add to the basics of the business... so without discretionary income - the peasants can't buy - so businesses go broke...

Then when businesses LARGE chop costs by chopping  employees ..... the GENERAL PROSPERITY across the nation falls... people have less money ... so they buy less....and businesses fail...

GENERAL PROSPERITY, lads - not just the super-prosperity of the few who live like kings... is the yardstick by which we must measure national economies.  bugger the shareholders!!  They took a risk - time to fail for once and eat it like all the peasants they abuse to get unearned income.

Start chopping the fat cat tax dodges for a start... insist on employment before mechanisation ..... if robots run every work place... where is the money coming from to pay for the falcon robots?  DUH!!  Put HOMING first so that people can actually aspire to something other than slave labour to pay some falcon landlord.... give people some incentive to work towards and they will follow you to the ends of the earth.

Oh, stuff it - crash the whole thing and start again... long overdue. 

Sergeant-At-Arms!  Throw out the baggage......

I'm so glad I middled in Economics at Uni - going to classes stifles genuine creativity and knowledge gained through genuine hard thought....
