That impacts their immediate cash flow for emergencies, such as the Diamond inventory grab, and undermines the armchair CEO claims these small companies should have planned better.Again, your repeated insistence that all this is "just business" is appalling and really sums up everything wrong with the way a lot of these predatory companies and individuals do business. And holding up a truly predatory company like Amazon as if everyone is lucky the others are not that bad is fairly absurd. All businesses are not predatory, and "it could have been worse" is a very shallow hot take. Moreover, Diamond acting as they have in the lead-up to the bankruptcy will not save a single one of their employees, but it very well may take several very good companies with them as they go under.</blockquote>
