I am weary of everyone blaming the failure of a business on the economy. There are as many new businesses opening than one's closing.
Sometimes, in fact, many times, it isn't the economy, it is the way the business is run. All you have to do is look above to see that is the circumstances here, not the economy.
People need to stop watching CNN so much. We have had a GREAT summer here, in many cases, record breaking.
The fact of the matter is, the good businesses are doing good, the bad businesses are doing bad.
Taking someone's equipment, keeping it for an extended period of time and intending to load it up and take off with it is not the only example of bad business.
