Yeah! Because you can switch from a company you don't like to one you do. That's not so easy with governments. :huh:

Funny thing is, everyone liked the guy. I would guess his workers felt that if they left in a clump it would drive down their wages when they tried to sign on with someone else. Plus he was making payroll. Apparently the paychecks didn't bounce.
