October 2008 -- Wow! What a roller coaster ride. Like most of you, we are watching the markets, listening to news about the bailouts and trying to keep up with the pros and cons of the two parties battling for this election cycle. There is a lot of fear out there, but there is also some good old fashioned American optimisim.
At SBS Flexsteel, we are optimistic about the future of this great nation and the resilient and robust people who make up this wonder of the the world. By any measure, the U.S. of A deserves the respect and admiration of the world.
I heard one of the candidates quipping about our energy use, stating that we use 25% of the world's energy. Everytime I hear that, they say it like it is a bad thing. It's like saying that the emergency room use 25% of the hospitals energy. It may be true, but we also drive the global economy and we are still the bread basket of the world, exporting a much higher percentage of food than we consume. It takes energy to produce food. And by the way, it was warmer in the Middle Ages than it is today.
Like I said, we are optimistic and that is why we expended a great deal of energy during the month (no pun intended) to pursue new suppliers and new products for our customer base. As always, our goal is to get what you need and want at a fair and reasonable price.
