Clearwater FL Depression wipes out small medium chain businesses 7 26 11
This video is a favor to JohnU78 who recently left Florida, for the Northwest. He likes to see the real situation that so many people face during these damanding times. As a small business owner myself I am grateful, I am still in business. So many have lost their business, homes, lifestyles. Usury of debt, manipulation of our currency, and devalued buying power has taken an effect. As well as the oil scare the media hyped last summer, keeping tourists away from our beaches. Hopefully the city will knock down some of the eye sores, or pressure the owners with code enforcement to clean up these empty storefronts. In one of little spaces was a train store, a nice British couple ran it. One of the real estate business brokers, I was very friendly with, I believe she lost her house, business and also has left the state. I really liked the Jamba Juice places which have closed.

@99cacahuate your correct, see Sun Tzu!
@mwcdx no sales are down, they cabalize sales by opening store every 5 miles on US 19?
I bet the local Walmart is booming
china got stronger without using not a single bullet on other countries or iilegal wars......
Wow.......had a college friend who lived in Pinellas Park. I spent a week with him fishing off gandhi bridge & some piers. Place was friggin booming (be in 1983). I cannot believe this video. Elites are investing in areas of cheap labor (India, Chine). US is screwed, decision has been made long ago. Once manufacturing is gone, its over. When you see service business going under like that auto repair shop, its over. But guess what? Bill gates & billionaire investors are touring India planning lol
I live in spring hill and go through pinellas often. I am shocked how many businesses are out. Even Golden corall NPR and Denny's. Ton's of homless on the street. Thanks for filming.
Obviously, the solution for the United States is to import tens of millions more 'immigrants', and also to subsidize the breeding of those on welfare. This will result in an economic recovery.
@bohemianh Rumor has it they're using china as a roll model for the NWO! Notice I said rumor. I don't want to spread any disinformation. There's enough of that around here.
China is actually liberated. They shifted the economy abroad for I'd guess to break the american spirit. So that they can usher in the NWO with the greatest of ease.
Also note: These ELITES have everything planned years into the future. Some say 100 years. And documents I've seen as proof!
Wars are part of Divide & Conquer
We left Florida too last year! glad we did. TOO much retail and Corporations, but NO buyers!
@demag you must be joking, I have received one of these ticket, they are gifts that come in the mail.
@Xyberdyne yes the wall st needs to make sure they get a new toys, your a nobady if you drive last year's model, don't have at least 8 bedrooms?
It is like this all over Tampa. Lets continue to give tax breaks to the rich because money trickles down......yea right.
Thank you for this upodate from a St. Petersburg resident.
Many of these businesses were products of the bubble, when the Federal Reserve was throwing out money at close to zero interest rates. It is called "mal-investment" (also written without a hyphen) meaning it never should have happened. Now the money is all going to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and a few more places, plus our overseas military empire we don't need. Europe, Japan, and Korea, all prosperous countries that could defend themselves.
Im pretty sure those cameras on the top of the pole aren't red light cameras. I believe they are for the traffic centers to monitor traffic flow. So they can route emergency services and adjust light timing.
@a2zhandi I like many Chinese and Asian books, among my favorites. I was employed by two Chinese employers when I lived in CA. I just don't like the Chinese govt of communism which doesn't allow freedom of relgion to it's people, destroys freedom of the human spriit, and has destroyed the Tibetian culture. Much in the way I am happy to be an American, however find my govt corrupt, serving other national interests other than that of the American People. The system of un ending wars!
@bohemianh I think you have to be an internet store too to survive. 80-20 rule. 80% internet and 20% over-the-counter. The store need to focus on other stuff, like having a club, serving beverages and being a hangout/workshop. Find the money in untraditional methods. Like YouTube
I have also always dreamt about having my own place. It would be nice to realize
