[QUOTE="DinoInDisguise, post: 9449203, member: 7045806"] Bad publicity in a small town like I am in, can kill a small business. Too much risk in that it can literally ruin my livelihood. Put my family on the street. People often forget how fragile small businesses are. How I do it out of love for it, because I could make much more working for a big company, while being more secure as well. So as a small business owner I am very risk adverse. I am not opposed to 80 work weeks if it takes a while to find a good employee. Often people just assume it's greed, or any number of things. But for small businesses it's just survival, as the current situation is quite hostile to us. I think that is very important context for what I said. EDIT: For context, a 10% drop in sales from bad publicity, and my business fails. It's gone within a year. EDIT2: Something happened to the quoted post. For context that post asked "what risk" I was referring to in my last post. [/QUOTE]
