Business is run to stay in the black. That means that if a building is not being used, the upkeep, the heat and air, the insurance, the salaries paid for those who work in it, and their benefits, than WHAT FUND is going to pay for it? It takes a lot of balancing to keep business so that it will continue to make money, which is the goal and in so doing keep people employed.
When types of business become passé such as railroads here in the U.S. than people lost their jobs. Even if the owners funded the bank staying open from their private funds, it would not be a sensible move, a very kind one granted, but it isn't the way business is run.
It is very sad when people lose their jobs. It than requires all the things that we Americans are good at. Strength, stamina, courage, ingenuity and perseverance to find another job. Most of us have faced losing jobs sometimes in our lives and I would guess most of us truly understand and sympathize.
Big business is run by people who sometimes are nice. Some of them are retired now and live here.
