Does the United States have a spending problem? Obviously, but I really wanted to talk about how the cost of living crisis is presenting itself in your community. That relates to this article because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If all of you have no disposable income, no savings, and a job market that can’t support your current cost of living… What happens if you lose your job? Do you default on loan obligations along with America because we are stretched to the edge. Should we vote in members of congress to pass more tax breaks for private jets?Are mods whack? Let me know in the comments.

    Yea im live on ETSY and Ebay already, was debating with Amazon but doesn’t fit my scale. I’ve got a reputable eBay account but it’s still hard to get eyeballs on there even offering Ebay 15% commission for ads. I like that they are commission based. One day I will make that brave leap into credit card processing. I haven’t even researched the costs yet. Trying to grow low overhead until it’s clear I need to make these investments. Don’t need a processor if I don’t have a customer.

    Whole sale margins are tough but distro makes it worth it. Simple clean 1-2 days a week, focus on farming and yields to fix the margins. But as you know, we must follow the money and 12 months in I’ve only found retail customers. I’m developing tobacco products as a last ditch effort. tobacco always sells in a recession and the high taxes and legal loop holes create some interesting opportunities. Thats where I am at tho. I’ve analyzed my entire state economy and landed on tobacco as a last ditch effort to generate revenue. There is no surrender but like…Im gonna boot leg cigarettes like I’m al Capone. Lets come to agreement on the state of the economy and political/legal world.
