The unnecessary demise of Barnes and Noble
Did retail ever deserve to live anyway? What kind of life and satisfaction does one get by selling someone else's work? It's easy, low skill and is just plain 'busy work'. Perhaps we are entering the golden age where one's worth is more closely related to the value they add to other peoples lives through their real work as human beings - not as middle men (middle people?) The trades for example are thriving.  The food industry is burgeoning. Tourism is growing.Good riddance to mind numbing dehumanizing work - the assembly line, the stock clerk, the delivery person.
