I have a simple idea that I am using to save myself money in my business. This is an idea that could save other related businesses millions of dollars. I have tried to get the attention of these other businesses, to introduce my idea. Thus far, no-one seems interested! Why is this? Now if I perhaps was an emplyee of one these companies, I might be able to get a very nice raise, or bonsus suggesting my idea! Or not! There definitely is a stuck-in-the-mud mentality in big business, and they seem to like it! Why is that? Today if Thomas Edison were living, he probably wouldn't have been able to introduce a third of the inventions he did introduce. Innovation and invention make jobs, and sell new products, and make life easier for people in general. If innovation and invention were used to half their true potential, starvation, and homelessness would be things of the past. Infact, I have always thought the average person could work four or less days per week, and still support his family and himself, and we could have almost full employment doing so. I do not understand a privileged class at the expense of the working people. Just what is gained by a poverty induced economy to make rich a privileged class of people? Sooner or later, there is going to a poor against the rich war, and you can guess who is going to be hung from light poles! jsavage.
