Monday, April 23, 2012  No, There's Not Enough Work For Everyone
Something that really chaps me is when people say things like
"there's enough business for everyone" when discussing
undercutters, illegal businesses, or whatever.  No there isn't.
If there was enough business for everyone, there would never be
a business that closed. I can think of a bunch of businesses
that closed in my area just within the past year. Restaurants,
furniture stores, bookstores, wedding businesses, electronics
stores, the list goes on.  On a few of the cake forums I read
there are always people talking about illegal businesses. Half
the people want to turn them in, and the other half say "there's
enough business for everyone, leave them alone."  I'd be willing
to bet that the ones saying leave them alone either aren't
business owners, they're trying to be really generous, or they
have no concept of reality.  Using weddings as an example, let's
say that you live in a place where there are ten bakeries and
1000 weddings a year.
