    Pasquale is not really selling to himself; he’s just drinking his own lemonade. At the end of the day, he takes his own money back.

    Five kids, ages 5 to 8, were standing outside their house at a small card table with a couple of pitchers of lemonade and their little signs and were just too sweet to ignore. The lemonade was 25cents a cup, cold, and had that Country Time brand lemonade flavor. I gave them a dollar and told them to keep the change. They were ecstatic and the lemonade was delicious just because of where it came from.C.

    It’s not the profit that’s wrong; it’s what people do with the profit. If you use your money to improve the business, create empoyment and make your area a better place to live, and pay the taxes you rightfully owe to help improve your state and country, fine. If you hide your money to avoid paying taxes, outsource your company’s labout to save money, reduce employment, and make your state a worse place to live, that’s not right.

    Only when you take over a company, make it take out loans to pay you back, then sell off its assets to pay off the “investors”. Have a good day.

    Make sure the cup is smaller than 16oz, list nutritional value and various disclaimers on the cup and make a large donation to the DNC and anyone can open a lemonade stand.

    Actually, I’ve seen six or seven lemonade stands over the summer here in Happy Valley.

    You must pay even if you drink your stuff.

    No, profiteering is just capitalistic, ensuring that the people are deprived in order to enrich the capitalist. For some unfathomable reason, Americans seem to worship that form of economics without question.

    Saskfan: Most profit is bad. Insurance against future loss is called savings; saving it up for expansion rather than paying some bank forever is called internal financing. The three other forms that don’t have euphemisms is money not paid to (stolen from) suppliers, workers, or customers and are much more common. Thou shall not steal.

    Hah, my aunt used to have a Thermos like that, blue with a red lid (that didn’t seem to match, but that is how it came). It was lost in their house fire several years ago. Kind of a fun memory, thanks!

    @Penny…,I thought Pasquale was overly ethics-sensitive (he tends to be that way), unless he was running it as a business according to strict legal guidelines the way Mitchtheone presented it.

    Golden era? not so much a golden era as it was a time when the corporation were thinking of image and trying to not look like scrooge.

    Sometime in the 1990’s it became yeah for me and screw you if had not already made your million.

    An attitude that has been there ever since.

    And here I thought it was sweet that he was being honest … corporate and food nazi diatribes … hopefully most of this was tongue in cheek …
