tubmans quote..""I have seen gross profits
rise from some 30% to 50%, while also seeing net profits fall below 10% in many cases,..all due to added competition and increased costs.""

mate the increased costs your workers cop
its not just you paying double for privatise/services..and govt levies

we bleed just like you
only you got more to bleed

but in the end lifes about what we did..or tried to do
not what we hoped or planned to have done

but enough of our difference

has small busyness had its day
of course not..[if you own your shop..
ie not giving wasted rent monies to capitalist money changers..you can underrcut even big w]..if you grow your own product..your even more ahead

if you sell direct..and entertain the people
give them fairity..the world becomes a better place

worker like to be part of a co=operative
are only to glad to be fair to you and their mates

mate they love you
get over hurting them

were all in this together!
