I thought I would post this here. This is from an email to my suppliers.
Last night, after getting, basically what would be considered in the eyes of the Federal Government, as in the FBI, to be a death threat. I have made a decision. I wrote it on facebook and I have contacted the state of Michigan and am getting my sales tax ID cancelled and am getting out of it.
I love making money and being a business type. But, I am not going to put my family or myself in danger over a bunch of 12 volt electronics..
The Statement:
Guys, I am making a announcement here first and guys you can pass it around if you want. if you’re a spy for the NRO feel free to screencap it. I really don’t care anymore.
Tomorrow I’m going to get on the state of Michigan website and start the process of cancelling my sales tax ID. I’ve decided to not pursue running a small business. I’ve decided to throw in the towel on Pats Electronics.
The reasons for this is the following and yes these are the true reasons anybody that tells you anything other than what I say here in this group is full of crap.
Basically, guys the truth is that the economy sucks and there’s just not a lot of people buying. I thought I would get back into this and the locals would be lining up around here to buy for me and people would be contacting me left and right to try to get stuff.
Well, that did not happen what happened was is I found out that everybody goes to some knuckle head down at a truck stop and buy their stuff here locally and the other half of them go to that guy over there near me here over charges for his equipment and they’d rather deal with him and that guy down there than try to deal with me so that’s one reason.
Another reason is is that when I got that sales tax ID and had the idea of going back into business, the first thing that I said was that there was going to be no drama connected to run in my business. I didn’t want to fight with people, I didn’t intend to try to undercut anybody. I just wanted to make my share of it.
What happened was is I ran face first into a stiff drama situation with a group of Facebook terrorists, who were hell bent on putting me out of business.
Folks I’m 42 years old and I just don’t have the patience to deal with drama anymore. I don’t have the patience to deal with stupid people. I don’t have the patience to deal with freaking morons who don’t know what the hell they want to buy.
I just don’t have the patience to deal with the stress anymore. Recently I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and as result of that I take medication for it.
Well it helps. But, doesn’t reduce my anxiety hundred percent and I believe the other half of reducing that anxiety is to get away from the drama and stress. unfortunately that comes from running a business. it’s amazing how people who claim to support capitalism and American values and stuff like that when somebody else goes into business they turn into full on communists and Facebook terrorists to keep people like me for being able to have my own piece of the American dream that my friends is a sad damned situation.
Anyhow, there’s my reasons.I don’t feel that the NRO facebook terrorists won. I just felt that it would be best for me to get out of the battle and let somebody else who’s a bit younger and a bit more physically and mentally fit the battle with those dudes. I ain’t interested, I’m too damn old and I just want to go back to the sidelines. do my amateur radio thing and do my Facebook thing and help out those who want it.
But I’m not interested in trying to be a businessman and battle with people who are dark sinister people, who have satanic motives, it is just not my thing dude and I really just ain’t into it anymore like I was when I was a kid.
In short like a good friend of mine used to really say back when I was a kid –” it’s been fun, it’s been real, but, it hasn’t been real fun…
I really wanted to make this work and have a business again and really try to make it. but the circumstances surrounding me and the situation that I put myself into really didn’t dictate financial or business success. it is what it is folks. time to move on to something better.
