Yeah, just start your own grocery chain. Or start your own shipping company. How hard could it be?

They have literally no clue about anything and still think we're living in 1975.

But they don't understand GC and the incredible challenges any small business faces these days. My mom actually suggested we try "competing" with Amazon on something. It blew my mind.

My mom's current business ideas are

1) Turn part of her property (50 acres in ARECOUNTRY) into a wedding venue by building cabins and renovating part of the barn. She doesn't actually think this will be profitable, but has a "cut off your nose to spite your face" attitude towards taxes.

2) Sell low weight cat litter for use in horse stalls.

She might. I don't think she throws out old pill bottles, so there's a cabinet in the kitchen that is just packed with them.

I know of some people that tried to do this but they were morons and lost money.

They put up a shelter but they didn't have the zoning to run a wedding venue. Neighbors were pissed & made sure they couldn't get the zoning they needed.

The only remaining viable business models for the lowly are (1) specialized labor GC can’t corner cut you on, (2) nostalgia farming, (3) things too grubby for PE to have rolled up yet, or (4) outright crime (best if you can move fast and become too big to prosecute while fanning the flames of your GC-sellout signal fire.
