Just seems wrong....
Maybe this is not the right Thread, but collectivly we seem like a group concerned with supporting the small business. Discussion has always been focused on the B&T, but it seems as though a collective conciousness that seeks out small business and when possible avoids the trappings of the Walmart/depot experience would thrive here. How many guys here are plummers, roofers, or any other laborers? IT guys? Retail shop owners? Any sort of freelance job is, in my view, seriously in trouble becouse of the trend to bring big business into every aspect of everyday life.
Zoots and Kabloom are slowly taking the livlyhood of small business.
Has anyone used Geek Squad? Think about the potential for disaster there. Freelance IT guys could be forced to join up or shut down.
Maybe we could have a forum or some sort of database situation where we could showcase our collective skills so that we look internaly first.
Like an occupational classified.
Down with the DEPOT!
