In the past, businesses would claim they increased prices or decided not to provide a particular service because of the lawyers, or because of insurance. Again, that was and is nonsense.
We live in a free enterprise society. Businesses must adjust their prices and services accordingly. No excuse is necessary for me!
Simply put, since we live in a free enterprise society, I am also free just to walk away from doing business with a business whose services or prices no longer align with my interests. If others follow me and the business fails, I really do not feel anything. To my mind, it is simply that the affected business was unable to manage their business plan appropriately.

I've introduced the hose to a bucket, and it turns out they got along great. So now I have a happy family of hose, bucket, soap, sponge, and several rags and dry towels. The black sheep of the family is a spray bottle with mostly water, a half cup of vinegar, and a few drops of dawn dish detergent. That's for the acrylic windows on the golf cart.
