What is the difference between the delis and businesses that depend on a closing obselete military base. Should we shake our fists at the defense department. How about when steel mills closed in Pittsburg? Were the evil steel barons to blame? When baseball went on strike and all the restaurants close to the stadium suffered. Who was at fault? MLB or the restauranteurs who knew going in they depended on the stadium.<BR/>The guys who caused this crisis should be prosecuted, but the class warfare bull has got to stop. Every restauranteur in America knows that if you depend to much on one market you are taking a calculated business risk.<BR/>When congress changed the rules on what pharmaceutical reps could do, it destroyed that market niche, I didnt hear people screaming about those bastards in congress. Same when the business lunch deduction occured. <BR/>Whatever doesnt kill you, makes you stronger. This too shall pass.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, SteakmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
