When a large, unhealthy business goes bankrupt, it almost always causes a host of otherwise healthy businesses to become unhealthy or go bankrupt. When a large business can't or doesn't pay its bills, interrelated businesses get caught in a cash crunch and are unable to pay their bills, and so on. The ripple effect causes damage far in excess of the damage suffered by the original bankrupt.
I tried to write a reply to this but I decided that our philosophical differences seemed to large to cope with. I decided to check your personal page to see if it might provide a hint as to what your attitudes are. I found this:
This same root stock produced the seductive poison fruit of Ayn Rand. Read "Atlas Shrugged" or "The Fountainhead." Both works sneer at the supposed worthlessness of the ordinary man. Ayn Rand's Ubermensch alone are worth the breath they draw. They are demigods on whom the whole sad mass of lumpen humanity depends. The threat is everpresent in her "objectivist" works that the little people, unchecked, will destroy all that is good and noble. Ayn Rand was as elitist as Adolph Hitler in her archtypal purity rants.
Now I see that we, indeed, inhabit totally different philosophical worlds. I am looking forward to leaving Kalifornia. Based on your statements, I might think that you are staying or moving here.
You also state "Marxism didn't kill a soul." By that I hope you mean that you will not threaten to kill me if I try to leave, as has been done by the Soviet Union, East Germany, China, North Korea, and Cuba.
