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'?


It really baffles me why you would cheer a corporation going bankrupt and
putting 30,000 people on the unemployment line. The people who suffer the
most are the 30,000 people on the unemployment line not the executives of
the company.



The vast majority of CC's employees got paid for not doing what the public
expected in that capacity, best described as consultation-based sales. Do
you think people who don't do their job should get paid for it?
