Squeezing The Life; A Business




If you're at a mall and you're hungry, where do you go?  The Food Court.

Perhaps in the future, if a food consumer has a grievance with a food producer, they’ll have to go to Food Court. 

The approach of food production has been consolidated with companies making non-seed producing seeds.  Monsanto, for example, sells seeds which produce non-seeding agriculture.  The trade-off is that their product is supposedly immune to insect infestation and yields a greater harvest.  This is their sales pitch.  But in order to grow their non-seed-bearing fruit, you also need to use their agrochemical products.  And in order to plant the following season, you have to buy their seeds again since your harvest didn’t produce a single seed; nice business model.

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.  They will be yours for food.”

- Genesis 1: 29

The moral dilemma in having a business model altering nature and, in this instance food ( an essential item for human life to exist ), doesn’t seem to be factored into the business model.  I hope the Food Court will somehow be conscientiously unbiased.

The economic business model of today consolidates more lucrative companies while absorbing or eliminating weaker companies.  Since inflation is a byproduct of usury / interest charges, there is a constant fiscal pressure squeezing profit margins for businesses without always delivering ever-decreasing cost of products for the consumers.  In roughly 40 years, the consolidating markets have seen media companies go from 50 to six, banks from 37 to four and freight companies from 35 to four.   

This reality exists throughout all industries.

This is the nature of the economic climate.  

Right or wrong, this is reality.
