No business "deserves" to be in business. There is no entitlement to being a successful business. Supply and demand should govern this.

We should fight the rent seekers who believe they are entitled to their markets and use regulatory capture to maintain their position

Does this have anything to do with the thread or the OP? I can’t see how.

Like any conversation, the thread's topic of discussion can change.

[zepto]

Yes, but that doesn’t answer my question about what the statements I am responding have to do with it? They look like unrelated political sentiments.

[inetknght]

Ahh. Well the comment you replied to said:

> No business "deserves" to be in business.

The grandparent comment said:

> Not every business deserves to be in business, either.

The conversation moved on the word "business deserves to be in business"

[zepto]

When you say ‘the conversation moved on’, it seems like what you mean is, the commenter I replied to took a single phrase out of context.

[inetknght]

Yup that happens sometimes.
