Cinnamon sprinkles

I was out with a old friend of mine last night and there were cinnamon sprinkles on the popcorn in a martini glass in this run on sentence.
He explained he had the recipe and listed out that the popcorn was covered with; cinnamon, caramel salt, and truffle oil. This began a conversation about Gordon Ramsey on Master Chef and that led to a discussion about the troubles of starting a small business like a restaurant and so on.
Now that I think about it. Starting a small business really is hard. My cousin wants to start an operation that has really good potential for local business to profit from, but he confessed that there is very little in the way of funding or incentive to get things started.
Now I work in the retail sector (just calling that makes it less stupid I guess) and I find so many people lately are against products from other countries. Like certain great big one that will remain nameless. But, if there is no incentive to start your own business and just relay on the massive imports from other countries, do these people expect something I'm not gasping?
One of the things I do very well is listen to people complain at my job. Sometimes I have no choice in this matter and I'm very often the unwilling victim of ear penetration and memory incursion. But they all play the same tune over and over, like this will change things?
Here's the fact, YOU CAN DO NOTHING! The world isn't going to take note of your little complaints about big business taking over and that's a fact. The really problem is you, YOU the person standing there complaining when you should be doing anything but just that. Be at home, researching local products, where to find them, budgeting so that you can work them into your life, and forcing your friends to do the same damn thing.
Complaining about anything can be likened to the weather. Everyone talks about it and it changes nothing. So at my work I may be nodding my head going "Yeah, oh it's just terrible, damn those *insert foreign country here* and their over productive schemes" but underneath I'm just adding you to the list of people that don't read or think for themselves. The world economy is so much bigger than you. Be happy you can go to the dollar store and buy disposable things for cheap like garbage bags, pens, pencils, cooking utensils.
Sorry...got a little crazy there, but then again that's kinda why I write things down.

Oh look breakfasts!
