I've spent the last two days talking to vendors in the areas affected by Sandy. All of them are doing what they can to minimize the disruption of supplies to us, their customers. I have personally assured those who can't meet deliveries at this time that we will be back buying from them as soon as they are operational. One guy lost him home and his vehicles. Some of his customers had already fled, even though his business was still operational. I told him I knew of some orders in the pipeline which I would shift to him to fill some of that capacity.
The company which I worked for during the Kobe, Japan Earthquake back in 1995 did the same thing. Some of the vendors later told us that it made the difference in their decision to soldier on rather than throw in the towel.
This is how conservatives behave: We allocate opportunity. The Liberal solution would be to buy them out and give them a handout to quit and go on the dole.
I believe it has a lot to do with natural selection, Birds of a Feather, genetic attraction.. This results in perpetuation of symptoms, and inbreeding dominance.. Flawed + Flawed= Liberal.. See, simple!
The results are predictable, and self perpetuating.. Easy!
Also one of my theories, has as an example, When confronted with conflect, a Liberal looks for an easy escape route to hide from the problem, and Conservatives look for a path forward to a solution.. HA!
