Dear Mr Valerio ...... we want to help you build your audience ....... Dear facebook and twitter ......you are so close to reaching a bigger audience !! Do you know why the high street is failing ? Well you see first there was nothing ....just like some mud .....and a few trees and stuff ( personally I think it was fine like that but whatever ) .... Then some sort if practicle minded folks .....seemed it sensible to reshuffle some of that mud ...and those tre...es ....they formed dwellings ...not out of a commercial drive ....but well I guess that sitting around in damp caves or just the raw elements can get a little depressing .... I know I have tried both So some innovators come up with these settlements .... And decide to link them with others using still the same mud and trees you find lying around .....why ? Well guess your nieghbour might have silver in their mud ....or wheat instead of trees .....or whatever So you have this high street that innovators built ......you have merchants and tradespeople turning raw material into things Maybe some of those things are desirable .....or better yet ....useful .....maybe even both Then there is this new guy ....or girl ... That says they can organize all of the finer points ...of all that has transpired quite naturally anyway .....for a fee of course These are what I call the percentage people ....and unfortunately their way of conducting business has become so ridiculously acceptable ....it seems no one sees the common theme here So when twitter send me e mail saying ....oh mr valerio we want to help you reach a bigger audience .... You are a fucking liar !!! You see the reason people start going to the high street ...is that they can get a wider choice from a collaborative source of producers than they can personally produce at home ...or in the garden The reason they start going to high streets further afield is simply .....variety ..... The exceptional choice .... The option of finding something useful or beautiful ....that they cannot get from the high street at home If there is nothing of interest ....if there is nothing useful or beautiful .....no rarity .....then people will simply no longer go there Regardless of how super convenient or super megalithic your market place is ..... This is where democracy really functions .....with the individuals commercial choices ......why is there a tesco ...or an albert heijn on every corner ....is it for my convenience ??.....or the convenience of the over sized grotesque that has become our consumerist culture ....that would be better losing money from a none profitable store ...than allowing an opening in the market for the option if a healthier competition So social media ....I see the planned trajectory of all this ..... You want to over inflate each digital market ....until a billion assholes all vying for that last little bit of existing trade can't understand why they are no longer getting suitable exposure in a growing crowd if traders....but reducing customers .... Induce them into a mania ... Tell them that for a small fee they can have the preferential treatment .....get 50% of these assholes to sign up to this promotion idea .....just as planned obsolescence renders it completely redundant .....at the launch of the latest app ......what a fucking farce So no face book and twitter ...you have it all backwards .... If you want to prolong the life ...of your soulless digitized enterprise ..... Then you will need items .....ideas .....and personalities that will maintain an interest in what you originally were ......social media The same is true of the labour market ...... Students and interns .....completely devalued the notion of the valued employee ..... You know an actual skilled and experienced individual . Mortgagees inflating the housing market to catastrophic ends ..... Yes yes I know your parents can help cause they made some money in property ....now they are downsizing .....to assist in paying your eduction ... .which used to be free ....covered by the state as an investment in the future state ...... By taxes ...... Ever heard the term money for old rope ..... Well I can't believe we are still buying the same ....slightly alternately branded .....' The slightly less than new rope investment opportunity for those not liable to be liable ' ......and this is a generation that kept telling us that we would have to grow up and take responsibility ...... 30 pieces of silver or the cheese in a mouse trap ....and the only way you can make it feel like a good deal ...is by dragging us over the same damn cliff ....with assurances if the property ladder .... A term first coined by that wonderful humanitarian ....margaret fucking thatcher Is it not so obvious that we are attempting to recycle the very land we live on ....for over inflated prices ....so no genuine craftsmen traders or merchants can possibly subsist a rental habit of this nature For who ...well I see a breed of folks ....they seem to waddle about in crowds ..... Blue suits and brown shows ..... Covered in personal refinement product .....the bankers ...the politicians ..... The estate agents ....the percentage people .... Who have nothing to sell but the promise of maximizing your potential ...... In short .....vermin A group that through too many middle class comforts have become completely complacent .....completely interned..... Completely accepting if the idea that a touch screen and a mocha ...can be the 'tools' of any trade Not only can this not continue ....it has to be stopped ..... Non participation .....might actually be the key x Or how about ...like lemmings we whip ourselves into frenzy over a failing economy ....that might well have actually been completely fictitious ....well certainly since the 70s at least But what do I know
