Re: Elections 2012: You must choose the lesser of two weevils
only people who worked in businesses in which no person has ever lost money nor anyone ever ended up unemployed are good business people in the eyes of The Profit Haters...of course the only group of people this would apply to would be the government...they don't have a bottom line and they only grow in staff size.
Doesn't matter if you are Borders books, GM, Circuit City, DuPont, J Prettyman, ESPN Zone, Blockbuster Video or anybody else...the nature of the beast is that markets change and business must change with it. That means that people will lose money, make money, lose jobs and get jobs.
It is unfortunate that some companies can't contain costs and/or can't continue to grow market share and have to reduce expense (which usually means people). In some instances, that preserves hundreds or thousands of remaining jobs that could have been lost had nothing been done to get expenses in line. Now, some cry foul because profits may result...well, you wouldn't cut until you break even and then stop. But those people hate profits of any type because profits mean somebody is making money and that is just BAD, BAD, BAD. You have to keep the mindset of the beholder a priority...if you've never seen jobs reduced because the government can just operate at a deficit, then you are indignant when somebody else does it.
What's next, complaining that some people go to Vegas and lose money?
