Are you suggesting that if you were an employer and one day none of your employees showed up, you would be totally cool with that? Lets say because of a conversation you had with your family about some personal issue, and ka-boom your employees are history?
Yeah I'm buying that! You are just not going to answer the question either.
How dare you accuse me of not answering the question,
when I already have. I
have been an employer most of my career; I've started a number of businesses from scratch, not with the intention of running them forever, but with the intention of getting them off the ground, and then selling them to someone who wants to operate, not start.
Employees are
just another supplier. Many times, I've had an employee say, "My husband got a new job in so-and-so, and we're moving, so I'm quitting," or say, "I've been putting my resume out, and the big factory just called me. It's $7/hour more, so I'm going with that job." And I've also had the post office say, "It's not $250 to send out this mailing any more; we raised our rates and it's $400," and a supplier say, "I can't fill your order for XYZ any more; we've switched to ABC instead" when I'd already tried ABC and found that
it didn't work, and I needed to buy XYZ even though it was more expensive.
There aren't any guarantees in business.
Something changes every day. And if you can't cope with figuring out how to deal with those changes, you'll soon be out of business. And, I note, this jerk is.

The Amish businesses are niche businesses. They do not automatically transfer into a non-Amish entity. Remember all those exemptions? Operating a non-Amish business with non-Amish employees may literally not have been an option.
He wasn't in "an amish business". His business did metal fabrications. There are lots of non-Amish metal fab shops.

So he went from running a business that, based on its cash flow and whatever else is figured in, when if compared to other comparable businesses, could very well have been assessed at a $1,000,000. And after paying off the loan, what was left? Not very much. So he is starting over his life, he has to find a new place to live and work, all for what?
If his business was viable only because it was being subsidized by the Amish, he didn't have a business, he had a charity. If it a business, then how many thousands of dollars should someone get as compensation when they get a good job and are forced to live without Food Stamps? Dagnabbit, maybe I ought to get myself a couple dozen of those Food Stamps businesses, then get myself a decent income, and sue for billions of dollars for the Food Stamps recieving businesses I've been screwed out of.

I've counseled restraint in an earlier comment, but looking at it in those terms, I hope he takes them for every damn penny he can get and then some!
Because you think it's right and just and honorable to welsh on debts?
QUOTE
And what's with all the name calling? Disreputable? immoral? cretin? What makes you so special?
What makes
me so special is that I've spent a lifetime building up a reputation for reputable behavior, for acting in a moral fashion, and having far more intelligence than a turnip. But actually, it's not me that's special, it's most people.
It's just this clown - and people like you - that think it's OK to lie and cheat and steal.
Or am I being redundant? Am I mentioning the same person twice?QUOTE (dragonrider @ Mar 5 2009, 11:42 PM)
Unitarians don't necessarily believe in any God, some are Buddhists, some christian, some deists, some atheists, some are pagans etc. I have met many Pagan Unitarians that believe in multiple Gods.
Are you related to the guy who invented "fat-free half-and-half" that Land-O-Lakes sells? Have you considered selling Vegan angus beef and Kosher bacon?
By definition, a unitarian believe in the unity, rather than multiple gods.
