All these "businessmen" we keep hearing about who are firing employees, scaling back operations or even closing their doors in some form of juvenile "protest" against the ACA (Obamacare) are doing someone a tremendous favor: their competitors.

Yes, it will be capitalism that will step into the very temporary void left behind by these short-sighted, hot-headed stumblebums. The market formerly served by these hyperpartisan nonhackers will move naturally to more rational businesses that will be more than happy to serve new clients.

It means a business operated as a business and not as a political statement. Probably owned by businessman who makes decisions based on conditions and not as a knee-jerk reaction to election results.

You know, rational vs hot-headed.

It weeds out the weak business owners who fold early and lets the stronger competitors win.

So making changes because of legislation isn't rational? That's not making decisions based on conditions?
