One grocery store in town

[RodISHI]

Our little town is much like the politics congress and many areas throughout the country today we have one grocery store here in this town. Every time I shop there I get more agitated as I walk through the isles. The grocery store is phasing out most other brands for quite a few years now and replacing everything they can with store brand items. More recently though they are putting almost all items on shelves with their brand name. The cereal isle is the worse and today was even worse than usual as what few name brands are left in the store were placed on the top shelf hard to reach places. In the past I bought items that were labeled with the store name. The quality of their store brand items I bought were awful so I don't get anymore items with their name on them. Instead I buy only what I can't do without until I can drive to a town with stores with more choices.

Politics are the same way today the choices are being limited to a very few brand name items that are being pushed at the public at an alarming rate. People are being led by a few who want all the political leaders to have their brand on them even if the quality of their leadership is inferior it will be the only choice left after a season or two.

I want to ask you small town conservatives. Where do your kids go after they graduate college? Chances are they can't find work in your town am I correct?

Where the hell is that "little town"? We have specialty shops in rural Virginia that sell local items but we haven't seen grocery stores with their own names on items since the 1940's.

My children went into that adult world fully equipped. One knew how to run all of the equipment and stuff like that at 11. The other could supervise, write safety programs, etc... by the time they were 16. Neither did the college deal and the smarter of the two that thought they needed college got lost for awhile but eventually pulled out of it. The other one well they make more than most college grads but they both are extremely talented and could do pretty much whatever they want. If they make or have made mistakes along the way they are responsible for whatever those may be.

We have one of those here (now).

An old judge friend says that lawyer bs now is because the law schools lower the standards for entrance exams. In that he said we got a ton of unethical idiots attorneys in the system. That conversation with him was over twenty years and now we have a lot of those if'iots on the bench.

I know all the types of jobs that are in a small town. I'm none of those things.

My brother makes a lot of money. 4 years ago he said he would invest in a business in this town we go up to if I could think of a business I would want to run in a small town. When we'd go up I'd wonder what does this town need. What is it ready for? I wish I was that kind of guy but what I do is corporate sales. If there were any corporate jobs I would have moved up in a heartbeat. I get paid a pretty good salary. I'm not any of those things you listed above. I'd love to be the cop in a small town. Btw he gets a pension

It's worse here. We operate under Napoleanic Law (Napoleanic Code). For some reason, lawyers thrive in this climate. Per capita, we are in the top 10 States with the most lawyers.

I got tired of busting my ass for someone else and needed to spend more time with my aging disabled mother (next up hubby's mother who is pushing 70). I made my own job after tossing around a few ideas. I almost became a laundress (love folding clothes for some reason). I make more money working for myself in half the time. It was scary as shit, but took off like a rocket. I am very grateful.

Went through there a few times but didn't dilly dally around. They have a bunch everywhere that are dumb asses, chicken shits or crooks.

Life is full of choices in the 'valley of decision'. Just remember you get to live with those decisions you make.

We can hope! Lol

Both my father and my youngest brother are lawyers.

Oh the shame.

 

[my2¢]

I've always lived in cities and so I can't relate to the OP about stores. However, concerning the confinement of politics I've always contrasted it with the difference between life of my childhood compared to today. As a kid we only had only three television channels. UHF then came on the scene about the time I was in high school and then cable became popular after college. Same way with magazines, when I was a kid households either subscribed to Life or Look, Time or Newsweek, and of course there was TV Guide. Now I look at all the choices opened up to the public in everything but politics. I feel it doesn't make sense.

In the past I bought items that were labeled with the store name. The quality of their store brand items I bought were awful so I don't get anymore items with their name on them. Instead I buy only what I can't do without until I can drive to a town with stores with more choices.

Politics are the same way today the choices are being limited to a very few brand name items that are being pushed at the public at an alarming rate. People are being led by a few who want all the political leaders to have their brand on them even if the quality of their leadership is inferior it will be the only choice left after a season or two.

Socialism fucks everything up
