You need to ask yourself how they do it. Obviously, they cut corners and they might not change sheets everyday...but generally, they run excellent hotels and most folks recommend them

well, no, they don't cut corners in the ways you point out, what they DO do is use family members -- so the receptionist would be the sister, the janitor, the brother-in-law, the gardener, the uncle etc. etc. They would all live as a big family, cutting down costs. Also, the Patels wouldn't buy into the consumer at all costs society -- they'd be thrifty.

I should point out that Henry Ford never allowed Ford to go public.

His son Edzel did that.

One of the most misunderstood quotes by HF is: "The Public be damned."

He didn't mean by this that he wasn't interested in public opiinion. He built cars that the public wanted.

Ford came out of the depression in the best economic condition of all three of the American car makers.

Crysler's Airflow almost bankrupted the company in 1936 when Ford was producing the only V8 powered automobile.

What Ford meant by his famous statement was: "This is my company and I'll run it the way I see fit and I'm not turning it over to a penny investor in Peoria."
