I have a story on similar lines.

Sometimes they still blame the *Covid*; mostly they don't reply.

Kafkaesque.

the overall plan appears to be destroy all small/medium businesses and have only a few large corporates, soon to be all named One, or some similar variation of.

We will have to buy at the 'company store', with CBDC we get from the 'company store', whilst slaving away for the 'company store'.

Step out of the system, create your own society.

fuckem.

If you look at any corporate you will see that it's ultimately owned by the same shareholders as every other corporate although there does seem to be two banking conglomerates involved. In Australia every bank is owned by the same (the shareholders being the large banks of Europe & the US). Several of Australia's banks are not even registered with ASIC as Australian entities.

Why were they making you wait so long for your shipment? To give up and forget running your

business? Did they take out the wood from your shipment? Did you talk to other business

owners to see, if they experienced the same treatment? Glad you finally got your shipment.

I think that it was just incompetence.

There is a chance that this was deliberate of course. But I'd still suggest incompetency was the cause.

I did suggest to "Doris" that if they only wanted corporate business that I was happy to walk.

That would be unfortunate, if it's something you like and make a living on.

I think that I will change how we do them. There is a way of avoiding this sort of delay.

I went through the experience with my friend opening a Cafe in the Mission 32 years ago. Quite the insight. And of course post-Covid the insight is bureaucracy is KUZDU. Destroys the community.
