Economy and the area of production, distribution, trade, and consumption of goods and services.
First Thing You Know, Old Jed's a Millionaire . . .
As I understand it, approximately 70% of the oil consumed in Canada is used to fuel the country’s transportation needs and, the majority of that 70%, facilitates transportation east of the Great Lakes and west of the Rocky Mountains. Presently, the pipeline infrastructure supplying the West Coast, Eastern Canada and the Maritimes is either lacking in some respect or non-existent. If one looks at domestic production and consumption statistics only, it certainly appears that Canada could theoretically meet its own demands for oil and gas. However, the true cost in dollars, for nation-wide distribution of domestic oil through a network of yet-to-be-built pipelines, fleets of tanker trucks plus the resultant highway maintenance, or for upgrading rail service, would be so astronomical, that the true north, once strong and free, would be taxed into a pandemonium of poverty in efforts to support such a venture, considering Canada’s present system of outdated infrastructure.

Why Retailers Are Smart in Camouflaging Today's Supply Chain Crisis
Introduction Nothing in the retail environment is random. When it comes to big box stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc., major chains arrange their stores in very purposeful ways. The goal, of course, is simple: To have you buy more! Decades of solid research into consumer behavior informs how most retailers - outside of your small “Mom and Pop” stores and boutiques - are laid out. Major retailers spend many millions of dollars annually to better understand how shoppers shop, and they use that knowledge to organize their stores in an optimal fashion. The overarching goal of all of this work in merchandising is not to make your shopping trip faster and easier. Rather, what they want you to do is spend more time in their stores, as the longer you linger, the more you will spend! And specifically, they want to focus your attention on certain items, which naturally have the fastest turnover, and quite often, the highest profit margins! All of this is very deliberate, very strategic...and it works!

Why Investing in Training and Development Still Makes Sense in the Age of “The Great Resignation”
Wow! It is one tough time to be in charge of people in any organization today! Each and every day on your drive into work, one cannot help but see the signs of the times, as they are everywhere! Seemingly every business, small and large alike, not only has a simple “Help Wanted” sign out front. Today, those signs seem to be trying to “one up” one another, as all of these firms - from fast food restaurants to retailers to warehouses and distribution centers to manufacturers and every category of business in between - are engaged in a desperate struggle to attract new workers. Companies are touting starting pay of $10…$12…$15…$20 an hour for jobs that just a year or so ago paid nothing close to those levels. Firms are adding incentives beyond higher hourly pay, throwing in signing bonuses in the hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars! They are advertising that they will give new hires vacations, tuition reimbursement, and more!
