It's getting harder and harder to earn a decent buck when so few control so much. It's been said, too many people are spending their time and effort doing work instead of making actual money. At this point in time we probably have more investors living off the backs of laborers then any time in history.
We know the turnover in these kinds of businesses are huge. How do you keep a manager? Convince him to buy a franchise. Then they ain't going nowhere. Can't be fun being sandwiched between employee cost and those they must pay for equipment, supplies and dictated to what their prices they're allowed to charge by their corporate overlords.
In short, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. This ever widening gap is becoming unsustainable. Seems there's little we can do about it. Doesn't look like we can depend on government on either side of the aisle to do anything about it. In fact it may played a part in creating this situation we finnd ourselves in.
