That was my first thought also. But ironically, the busy bodies who
are constantly inventing new responsibilities and cheering for
expanding legal requirements for businesses probably feel this way
most strongly. Many of us on this forum are in small businesses and
can well understand how difficult it is to run a business
successfully. The bigger a business gets, the more complicated it
becomes, but it also accumulates the knowledge and resources to deal
with a lot of the hassles and legal mandates that cripple smaller
businesses. So many of the employer mandates, environmental and
safety requirements and tax compliance issues that are an enormous
burden to us small guys can have specialized staff in a bigger
company. It is really a wonder there even are ANY small companies
anymore.
I am glad for the Bells that they seem to have come up with a good
end-game for their family ownership of Rio Grande. We can gossip and
complain and pass judgements on the situation all we want, but
ultimately dealing with them is a business decision. If they have
something I need at a good price I will buy from them. Where the
profits go from my purchases is really none of my business.
