If you own a business with 50 or more employees you probably have to keep more than $250,000 in the bank just to cover your payroll every two weeks.

If I were to guess, I’d say FR is filled with people who are government employees (or retired government employees) and don’t have a clue about how business works.

Yep. And many businesses have multiple accounts with a lot of cash in them for various recurring expenses.

Freerepublic is NOT filled with government employees.
