There business's are over in China they pay their workers peanuts. They don't have to make there money in this country. My moms old boss has his cabinet business in China. He has loads of money and from Pine Grove and has a business in China... I made money under the Trump tax cut it trickled down more then. Now I pay 11,500 more under the tax of inflation.

The approach to making more money and improving your life's position is to map a plan how to grow. Focus on the "how to" grow and everything else will fall into place.

That's assuming life doesn't throw you any major curveballs as it sometime does. There are no perfect plans. Adjust & refocus. I can tell you all about major curveballs. After being angry for 3 years after I could no longer work, I re-focused. |

After being angry for 3 years after I could no longer work, I re-focused. I agree with you on making adjustments when things change. I was just saying some changes are very hard to over come and some darn near impossible and I feel bad for people in that situation. That's great you were able to turn things around! |

Look at Amazon and others your covid measures that you strongly supported made those guys richer... How much richer? BTW.....Amazon just built a gigantic warehouse\distribution center near New Stanton Pa. $120-million dollar place. 800,000 sq ft. Job expectations in the hundreds. A business cannot make this kind of investment unless it's profitable. Profits turn into reinvestment. Reinvestment turns into jobs. |

Yes much richer I forget how much their profits went up during covid plus places like Walmart and others. Amazon just put a warehouse about 4 miles from me if that next to Interstate 81 and building one right beside it and from what I'm told they want to go 100% robotic now I don't know how true that is. It was built on reclaimed mine lands. |

The success of Amazon is in their service.
I placed an order yesterday. Today I saw they were 10 stops away from my house. They made 10 stops in a 3 block area! I had my order in hand in less than 24 hours. It was something that even Walmart didn't handle, plus I didn't have to run all over looking for it.
This week, for the first time, I had to return something. They sent me a code. I took the item to my UPS store. They read the QR code with a reader, gave me a receipt and I was on my way. I didn't have to box it or either.
Amazon sure makes life easier

Robotics are not the doom of jobs. Someone has to manufacture those machines, and then they require maintenance….done by humans working.

Well, this is just me and I'm not that greedy, but I'd be happy with just that stack of 100 million!
