Bankrupt ******** # I obviously don't understand the word bankrupt. At one point, it meant that a business was out of money so it was selling off its assets, reimbursing as many creditors as possible, and closing. Now it seems to be a 'get out of debt free' card. # It is literally a bank rupture-- its a bank response- bankrupt in the 21st C is a process where by the banks line up your debtors and pay them off in order.. the Govt comes first , the banks come second and everybody else gets a scrap or nothing. Too bad schmucks.. Those owed from an officially bankrtupt bizz can write some of that off on their taxes.. I have been in the long line up to collect from a bankrupt business.. I get nothing but the feeling the bad guy is being spanked - but as soon as the hammer comes down the bankrupt business people are free to start another business and thus enhance our economy.. Its more an official witch trial more to excorcise doubt and despair demons than recoup money .. it's crude and ineffective but it keeps crap moving from the factory onto the shelves. Not every bankrupt business was evil or stupid- with such extensive credit holding the prosperity system together a break in the line can create a train wreck elsewhere.. Its all about confidence and trust to inspire commercial bravery.. Like these guys ( Blockbuster Video ) rented videos,, no real loss of productivity here, just a fatal kink in the fee flow
