Old story about capitalism vs. communism.

There was a Nightline story last evening how restaurants are the
up-and-coming business in America. Some schools are motivating kids by
getting them into culinary arts.

That's such a double-edged sword.

Its excellent as educational motivator, but I am wondering how a
national economy can sustain itself on restaurants.

That is so much like dentistry, demographically!

NOTE:

Please delete the above line.
This is my repurposing material
from other threads.

It makes no sense in the current
discussion.

Just exactly how much of what you post makes sense in any discussion?

If anyone is curious, here is the context:

Joel

Myth: The U.S. has the best health care system in the world.

Fact: The U.S. has among the worst health statistics of all rich
nations.

Summary

The U.S. does not have the best health care system in the world - it
has the best emergency care system in the world. Advanced U.S. medical
technology has not translated into better health statistics for its
citizens; indeed, the U.S. ranks near the bottom in list after list of
international comparisons. Part of the problem is that there is more
profit in a pound of cure than an ounce of prevention. Another part of
the problem is that America has the highest level of poverty and
income inequality among all rich nations, and poverty affects one's
health much more than the limited ministrations of a formal health
care system.

I hope not.....

from

http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/restfail.htm

A longitudinal study of restaurants in Columbus, Ohio found the failure rate
for restaurants was 57 to 61 percent for a three year period (1996-1999)

and another

http://www.fineliving.com/fine/your_reality_check/article/0,1663,FINE_17957_
2965825,00.html

For every dollar in sales it brings in, a restaurant keeps less than five
cents in profit.

26 percent of restaurants fail within the first year.

59 percent fail within the first three years.

Would say that's about average for new start ups in
most industries.
