Simple Poll - Can we let Cruise Lines go out of Business? (employment, cost)

Who pays for that and why?

Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, Disney, Well, OK, there's one, sort of.

I agree. The folks that make money off of them can't let them go under. We are not those guys.

I am going to post this and then close out the city-data tab on my computer and just enjoy the warm and fuzzy feeling I'm getting from everyone (okay- we're at 52/5 or 91.23/8.77% but that's 100% in city-data numbers, right?) being in agreement on a topic for the first time since 2003!

What is your rationale for making the poor and middle classes pay for luxuries and failed business models?

I always found them disgusting. There was always an outbreak of something.

Let them go out of business and a new generation will take their place.

Let all big corporations go under and someone will buy them at the corrected value, resetting our system. 90% of all Americans went through it in 2009 now its their turn.

most of them don't even employ high percentages of americans.

Let's start with government as the first failed business model. How about one of these Marxists clue us in on that?
