How Detroit almost killed my business

[ScreamingEagle]

What really killed Detroit and what drove me away was the government deciding it knew how the market should operate better than the market did. The market operates on a simple concept, "An honest day's pay for an honest day's work." If an employee doesn't think he is being paid enough, he can leave. If an employer is unhappy with an employee's performance he can fire him.


Well-meaning government programs such as Unemployment Insurance, Workman's Compensation and Wrongful Discharge (i.e. age discrimination, sex discrimination, racial discrimination etc.), that were meant to help and protect employees turned this market concept on its head. In Detroit, hiring someone became the worst thing an employer could do, and being fired became one of the best days in an employee's life. Allow me to explain.

LOL, you two don't even know who you are talking to anymore. I didn't run to the mods for anything, I slapped you two with negs. Not that it means much but hey. I guess it shows I don't piss around like certain people.

First of all Percenter here, just flatly called it fiction, you called it bullshit. So, why it is what you call it? Surely you have a rationale for why? Or were you so unsettled or taken aback by it that you chose to demean the piece instead of offering a point?

It's not the link, you have to click on the link to know what's inside of it. You can't just judge an OP by the opening statement the poster makes.

Secondly, your preconceived biases drove you to dismiss it without putting any effort whatsoever forth in making a point. It's this lack of intellectual honesty that leads me to deduce that you two are trolls. I don't pick fights. I win them.

Finally, if you wish to argue the OP, go for it. If not, stop trolling. Or I will report you both. You wouldn't like someone trolling your threads, you would like the same respect you chose not to give ScreamingEagle. So what's it gonna be? Never mind, don't answer that.

Try me btw because I will turn liberal and make you cry....

Mad? If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be responding to me, troll. It is real, the man who wrote that article had been in business for 30 years up until that point. His name is Don Wilkie.

You really didn't read that article did you?

I don't care what party you're from. But the next thread you post, expect to see me there, debunking or countering it. Ha! "Try me"? Grow up.
