I wish someone could explain the satisfaction Harry finds in the fact
that
companies are going out of business.
Is this good for liberals somehow? Circuit City had employees who had
jobs,
even if those folks did nothing. Is it in the best interest of liberals
that the unemployed numbers grow larger?
I'm missing something somewhere.
Some companies deserve to go out of business due to the lack of quality of
their service, products or internal culture.
In the case of Circuit City, it was on the edge anyway. The economic
crisis
and retail downturn was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

Agreed. Circuit City just happened to be the company 'du jour'. Harry, or
other liberals, continuously post articles of companies losing money or
going out of business. And then make gleeful 'I told you so' comments.
That's what I can't understand.
What is there about companies going out of business that brings joy to the
heart of a liberal?
Is it just simply 'anti-corporation'?
I don't know what Harry's thinking, but there's no glee in my comments. I'm
simply pointing out that this is capitalism at work, and that in *some*
markets (read "communities"), it may be good for the audio biz and its
customers. There's nothing happy or sad about cold facts, unless you're
bored and you need to twist things around.
