Repairing Things by Bard
Repairing Things
The art of repair is a noble one,
It takes skill and patience,
And a love of things well-made.
When something is broken,
It’s often easier to throw it away,
But taking the time to fix it
Can be a rewarding experience.
There’s a sense of satisfaction
In bringing something back to life,
And knowing that you’ve made it last.
So if you’re feeling handy,
Give repair a try.
You might just be surprised
At what you can accomplish.
The broken pieces of a vase
Can be glued back together,
And the cracks can be filled with gold.
A torn shirt can be sewn,
And a broken heart can be healed.
Anything is possible
If you have the will to repair it. – Bard

This isn’t a free market. The government is picking the winners.
The SBA recently released the data of bailout recipients. I just found out that one of my direct competitors got $150,000 from the federal government. They are a small shop like mine. The only difference is that they were in business making money before COVID 19. Tech Fixers applied for the same program and got $0 because I started the business in 2020.
I heard from my business consultant about a business that closed, fired all their employees, put their FAMILY on the payroll and collected the government money. Totally legal.
