I so agree. I am always surprised that folks think that any entity would spend millions and millions of dollars either building a building or completely restructuring one, completely stocking the facility, let alone hiring managers and workers and getting them insurance and spending enormous amounts of money on advertising and rent.............on anything but solid researched numbers.
ALWAYS SURPRISED.
And some folks even blame the people who are the developers. Being a for profit business is not a bad thing. But that is another rant for me.
