If you believe that " 'mini boxes' that only carry their regions/locations most profitable & demanded products" will work, then go for it.  You can either put together a business plan and convince the bank to front you a loan or convince people to invest, or you can't.  Report back and let us know how it went.

.

jcc hates big business, since he owns a small one and, near as I can tell, can't run it well enough to make a profit.  So, even though he says he is a capitalist, he is really a liberal that hates everyone who is doing better than him and really hates the open market that decides things like executive salaries (since his childhood dreams of being one met up with his lack of intelligence with predictable results) -- in oter words a liberal.

Just treat him like your crazy uncle ralph and all will be well.


I don't get why a business person like JCC would sound so anti-profit.

I do NOT know JCC but I do know the type.

They aren't anti-profit as long as it is them making it.

They are only anti-profit when somebody else is doing it better and making more profit.

keep your day job then slick, cause reading JCC ain't gonna make you jackshit... :lmao:

I gave up the arrogant tycoon approach 7 years ago when my son was born & had pretty seriously complications thereafter...

our greatest founders conserved & left business for others to enjoy....this creates a better country & leaves no breeding ground for liberals & shark oil salesmen to conn the disenfranchised into more government/taxes & bullshit...

obviously, you cannot see that is exactly how the biggest corps' in our country have gotten what they've gotten, not through pure capitalism...

walmart is a disgrace & prolly the most unamerican  major corporation I can think of...

so yeah, I'm anti profit it means having walmarts unethical tactics, worthless, unhealthy inventories & partnership w/  CHINESE COMMUNIST SLAVERS....

you obviously don't consider longterm ramifications on american way of life , capitalism, politics & cause/effect when it comes to making money....

Like I said...  I know the type and the hollier than thou bullshit you posted here recently is merely part and parcel of the mentality.  What in the hell does your christian religion have to do with it?  You must think it has some bearing, as you have mentioned it several times in a recent post.

You obviously have a hard on against Walmart.  I work with a young lad that does too.  His arguments fall apart like so much wet tissue paper when I try to get him to discuss why he feels the way he does.

Perhaps you can do better.

No, he can't.  He can't even come close.  That's why I immediately encouraged him to take action on the suggestions he made.  Instead of getting off his lazy commie butt and trying, he made up excuses... again.  It's the story of his worthless, gov't leech life.

Sam Walton's idea was AWESOME, at first. Since Sam has passed, WalMart has continually gone downhill. Instead of using American made sources, as Sam had done, his successors have run overseas for the CHEAPEST goods they can find. Of course, many of the other stores have done the same, SEARS included. Stand by for a HUGE Sears "management" rant... (or should I say...... Lack OF management!!) I will probably publish it on Friday, after I terminate my working relationship with Sears. By the way, Sears is owned by KMart, in case y'all weren't aware. Can we say "Rosie O'Donnell" ??

There is an American success story in there somewhere.Kmart comes out of banckruptcy and buys out one of America's largest retailers. Course the recent history(last couple of Decades) of Sears has been to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Such as to cut back on costs they sell off the money makers in the corporation.

Don't get me started on Sears. They border on slave labor. (I work there and am seeking alternative employment). Let's just say that as a commission only sales person, I am tasked with things not even relevant to my job. Of course, we can't leave after hours, at will. We are all locked in a store with the A/C turned off. (Of course it's ON when the customers are there. I guess that they think the employees just don't rate to be comfortable. ) Then we can get into their silly "no weapons policy" that extends even into a parking lot they don't OWN. (Thank you, Rosie with your armed guards and all......)

Furthermore, we can even get into their poor customer service from the delivery teams and service techs. The delivery teams have cost me and other salespeople several sales. No, Sears is NOT the Sears of the 60s-80s.

Their crack customer service is why I haven't shopped at Sears in over 10 years.  Which is a shame cuz I used to love Craftsman stuff :hammer:

 and for all the baffoons who say Walmart can't be unseated cause they seem to think walmart is run well, unique & sells what everyone wants??

and think that 'smaller, more effecient/quality & service oriented' biz won't stand a chance ??

you'd better move your ass's to china, or next to your favorite walmart, cause here comes FREDS... http://money.aol.com/investing/game-changers?icid=100214839x1204943304x1200219689

just as JCC predicted.... :cheersmate: ...

Freds is positioned to expand these next few years w/ thousands of 'mini marts', whereas walmart is a planning retraction of its leviathins  & or very limited growth...

American Businesses wouldn't be floundering if more of us would tell it like it is.

Fred's???? Excuse me while I laugh my butt off. Freds is a hometown based store. I've been going there since I was in diapers.
http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/06/28/the-next-wal-mart-is-freds/

JCC thinks they are the next walmart? So does that mean JCC's hatred for big business has limits? It's okay to unseat Walmart via Freds? Is Freds going to radically change the way it does business? They are regrouping and using their "national vision" which I can assure you, is going to mirror the 800lb gorilla that is walmart.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Killeen Daily Herald

COPPERAS COVE – The Copperas Cove Economic Development Corp. approved a rental agreement Monday leasing the vacant speculative building to Wal-Mart as temporary storage space.

Wal-Mart is expected to use the 38,700-square-foot building to store fixtures, equipment and materials during a renovation of its store. The term of the lease runs from July 25 to Nov. 1 at a cost of $120,000.
