I’m trying to have a positive look at the whole situation and I really hope that things don’t turn for the worst, but the reality is that we are in a situation that bankruptcy is the only probable outcome. This just got me thinking about the ruthlessness and injustice that we are facing in today’s economy. Private equities and hedge funds are destroying anything that they can get their hands on. Their ill goals to generate as much money for themselves in the shortest possible timeline, runs down the retailers, as it directly collides with a company’s natural need to grow steady. This is the same thing as what happened to Sears, just on a smaller scale. They get out richer, and the workers end up on the street. It makes me sick.

Profitability is sustainability. If you're losing money, you're going to go extinct in a hurry, and these days China and India do everything cheaper and are willing to work harder and at longer hours. That's the reality of global trade.
