Hi Arlo
Rather than complaining that others aren't reading your posts,
perhaps you should spend a little more time digesting the posts
yourself. The story of Buckminster Fuller wasn't meant to evoke
sorrow or pity for the man because he didn't make money. The point I
meant to make is that no business can survive without earning a
profit. I don't care if it's United Airlines or Mom and Pops Donut
Hut. That is what business is about!
msh butts in:
Dan, no one is denying that a bussiness must make money to stay in
business. That would be silly and, here, is an obvious straw man.
The question is, how much profit, and at what actual cost to other
individuals, communities, environments. In other words, what is the
net result in Quality for all.
The broader issue, from a MOQ perspective, is whether or not
unrestricted "free-enterprise" is the highest Quality way or
organizing any community's economy.
Thanks,
Mark
