Only One or Two Customers

Recently, I had a rather unpleasant experience with a popular fast food restaurant, which got me thinking about something.  A company that is a giant among its peers if it falls, unless the God in heaven shows it some mercy as it falls, how terrible the sound is as it hits the ground.   

Suppose a company fails because of the lack of customers. In that case, usually, it is not because of a mass exodus of customers, but rather because of a company pushing its customer to its competitors one or two at a time. As a result, over time, the company will not be able to continue operating.

Now, if someone replies, “that will take a long time to happen, maybe over twenty years. That’s nothing to worry over.”    

Then my question will be, “what does it matter how long it takes?”  A conglomerate falling in front of you or your grandchildren is not a pretty sight.  Have you heard of Staples, Bhs, Sears Canada, Ruby Tuesday, Borders, Maplin, American Apparel, and the list goes on?  Well, they were once giants.  What happened to them?

Let’s not ignore our lessons.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.
