This makes me wonder... How else will technology be beneficial and/or destructive for businesses?
Thoughts anyone?
recently, most of the bee-produced honey (natural honey) in a large portion of oklahoma, and apparently nationwide(from what the informative person/employee/messenger/angel at the store said)
has been monopolized by a former school teacher
by convincing the conglomerates et al to go along with the scheme.
i.e. down the farmer's market or roadside stand where we used to be able to buy honey, it's not there anymore and won't be there again in the foreseeable future. it's gone. it's history. it's been lost to technology/ big business monopoly/ corporate greedy practices ----- probably 'legally' but definitely NOT morally; it greatly increases the oppression of the poor and of the independent free market worker/entrepreneur/tradesman/customer/ PERSON in general.
not just the monopolizing of the honey, of course, though that in and of itself is a tragedy , a huge one,
but all of the corporatization that's been going on since the middle ages. (yep, widespread, greedy, wicked society in every corner of the earth practically, all the way top to bottom).
and, finally, the end of it all --- the penultimate technology sought for for hundreds of years, predicted in Scripture - prophesied if you will -
the worse fate sealed for multitudes wittingly and unwittingly --- whatever 'it' is....
making it impossible to buy or sell without 'it'.....
whoever gets it can never ever ever repent of it; they are lost forever.
the mark.
