Why does this keep going back to whether the movie theaters are making money? It is not even relevant to the discussion.

From the petition--

WOW! You really do have no clue how businesses work. It is and always has been about the money. That's why people take the risks they do in business, to make money. From just this post it's obvious that you have never owned a business or were responsible for a P&L sheet for a business. So, making a profit for any business not only is relevant to the discussion, but it is also the ONLY THING relevant to the discussion. As a current small business owner and past Project Manager for multi-million-dollar construction projects where I was held accountable for the P&L of the projects, I can tell you from firsthand experience you watch every penny spent and every dollar in costs saved, or you die.

As for your first question, a) it's none of your business b) the question is irrelevant as they are the ones at risk not you and c) since you opened this door by asking, how much money do you need? Since you want to pass judgement on their tax return perhaps it's time the court of public opinion passes judgement on how much wealth you have amassed in your lifetime and should determine how to relieve you of some of it, just as you stand in judgement of relieving the developer of theirs.

I'm neither for nor against the developer in their decisions, they have to do what they feel is best for themselves, just as I must make decisions for my company. Sometimes this means making investments and sacrifices for the long-term benefit, sometimes it means making hard or unpopular decisions, in either case the long-term viability of the business is the driving motive.
