We’ll get the economy rolling again when we start taking it—and ourselves—seriously.
That means we start saying ‘NO’ because we should have said that way back at some crazy point when buying things became convenient, and price and ethics didn’t matter.
What is a fair price? What is a fair profit? How do we exchange goods and services so everyone is comfortable?
Granted, this is a big discussion, but it all comes down to one thing: how we create a worldview that includes an economy that makes sense for all of us.
Like this:
The big retailers are now into ‘rollbacks.’ Yay, they’re reducing prices so goods are cheaper. Score one for … can’t say.
Because what were they doing before? ‘Rollforwards?’ Scoring bigger profits than they needed? So they needed to ‘rollback’ to keep us buying?
And you still do business with them why?
Give a good, sound, win-win answer to that for all of us and our economy will work again.
For all of us.
