Morse Family " Silence "
 

How do you know what or what not they are doing?

I wonder how many, if any, real estate developers, REIT's, etc., are waiving rent.


The Government's loan program is focused on assisting rent payments if needed.

:bigbow::boom::a040::boxing2: So we should tell everyone about what we do!!!! It is statements like this that do nothing but divide people.:boxing2::boxing2:

So… Would the developers where you came from be doing what you expect the Morse’s to do? The senate just approved an aid package last night.

Back in my department head days, I would give the folks who worked in the department a hand-shake, pat on the back, or a sincere “thank you”. I didn’t need to go around broadcasting my actions. That made it look like it was all about me. Maybe that is what the are Morse’s doing...helping the merchants without the need to broadcast it.

It's none of our Business is it? Unless you rent from them. Maybe they are taking stock of whats going on and coming to a conclusion. Maybe they have done something already.

Do you think they want to loose the tenants they have compiled? I think not.

Usually the people who want to spend other peoples money seem to have Alligator Arms when the check shows up. They can reach someone else's wallet but not their own.

exactly.

why do people pick on the Morse family? I don't know them, I don't care to know them, I don't care what they have or don't have, this is a great place they developed, just leave it at that.

It would be awesome if the Morse family offers a month or two of rent waivers to all the businesses who rent on their properties. It'd also be awesome if the county waives my property tax this year. It'd be terrific if my boss gave me the rest of the month and all next month off with full pay.

Does this mean I expect any of these entities to comply? Nope. Do I feel they should be obligated to comply? Nope. Should I be upset if they don't comply? Nope.

But sure - it'd be great if they did it anyway.

Are you compiling a list of who is doing what and how much?

I hope I don't run out of kool-aid...

:rolleyes:I am!
Number 1 on my list is ...... (who)Haters. (what are they doing) Hating. (how much) Every chance they get!
Nothing we say will ever change them. :ho:

And I would add to my list: complainers, whiners, hoarders, etc. As someone else on social networking said, "We were all born, we will all die, the life we live in between is our choice".

How do you know that they are not?

where is john galt ?

Atlas Shrugged :-)

How do you know they are not doing lots things for the businesses and their employees? From what I saw during the Hurricane they did a ton of things for their residents and community. They didn't broadcast it.... They did it behind the scenes, not looking for praise or credit, just being the exceptional caring and generous family that they have showed time & time again that they are. Quite frankly tired of the "family bashers"... I am so very GRATEFUL to the Morse family for creating this incredible place we now call home and for all the things they do and create to make this time in our lives, the best time of our life!

Yes the Morse family takes a percentage of the business from What I have heard. Is it a shame down or do they now owe the business help

The Morse's or for that matter any landlord has no reason to waive rent.

Any biz can get a fed loan for rent and payroll in 5 minutes from the community bank which will be forgiven under the 350 billion $$ stimulus plan.

Therefore, keeping their employees from losing their jobs and the business operating for up to 4 months, which maybe extended

What the Morse's can do is facilitate these loans thru Citizens bank on an expedited basis. :coolsmiley:

.

It's none of our business what they do our don't do for their tenants period. I swear no matter what they do or don't do there's always somebody to find something wrong with it. We retired here to enjoy the rest of our lives period. As far we're concerned this is fantastic living and have no complaints about what they're doing. Doubt there is anyplace you could go where the owners would advertise to the general public what they do or don't do. JMO

I agree. The people who want attention for what they are doing don't impress me.

Not everyone broadcasts what they do for people. I never tell anyone what I am doing for someone else. What is the point? If you want to help someone do it.
The Morse family has no obligation to do anything. If they want to they will but it will be no ones business but theirs. Live and let live. Enjoy the ride and let everyone else enjoy theirs. No need to wonder what others are doing. Build your own sand castle in your own sand box.

Ditto you statements, but always believed that the action would be inaction.

This always impresses me when I read it in a post.

OP what is it again that you are doing?

Some people worry to much about everyone else's business. Worry about yourself and how you can do better, that should keep you plenty busy. If others do not do their part, they will have to answer to that from a higher being. To quote the song, " mind your own business, then you won't be minded mine" God gave you 2 legs, use them to stand on your own!

I agree

Please let me know what they did during or after the hurricane..... I must have missed it .....

Hey while you're at it, ask them to do away with the $250 fine for crashing through a gate in TV for the next couple of months....the folks that don't know how to drive and can't help themselves will certainly appreciate that...

Get real, the Morse family doesn't owe any small business that rents/leases property from them anything beyond honoring the lease agreement. Many of these small businesses have been "fishing in a barrel" and are enjoying consistent high sales volume, all thanks to what the Morse family has created and continues to create...

The Morse family is certainly astute enough to recognize the role that they should play with their tenants during all of this and they don't need your 'locker room advice'....

As someone else has already pointed out, conversations are most certainly happening....it's nothing that you need to involved in

unless of course you decide to kick in some of your own $$$

money talks and BS walks

Seriously. Did you support all these businesses and shop at each one of them before this happened? It's happening everywhere not just here. The Villages is a business like any other and they also loose money when businesses go under, just like any other business owner. Stop hating them because they run their business well and make money, which by the way has allowed us all to live the wonderful lives we have here. My suggestion to you is stop shopping mega stores when this is over and start shopping local small businesses to help get them back on their feet, and when you eat out after this is over, tip big if the server deserves it, that helps a real person. Share that check the govt is sending you with small businesses, spread the wealth.
Before you say I don't know what I'm talking about, I owned several small businesses throughout my life and was helped thru several natural disasters by great and loyal customers. Share.

I guess we’ve grown so accustomed to those in charge congratulating themselves with constant pats on the back. Perhaps the Morse family has more class than that. Let’s hope.

Ssshhhhh... “If a tree in a forest falls and nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound?” Remember, people who usually best to help are the most silent...

Cite your source for the assumption that they are not helping others. Very divisive post most probably based on ignorance of the facts. Maybe we should hear first what you are doing to help others.

Morse Empire
 

Yes, why haven't the Morse family made some kind of comment. Silence in this instance is not golden.
They the Morse Empire have enormous wealth and surely they could at the very least voice optimism, perhaps forgive a month or two lease payments.

But at the moment silence other than their ongoing projects.

I find it really odd that they appear to be ignoring the very needs of business's who obviously need help.

They are in need of your help. Especially the very employees that they rely on to keep them going.

Look Mr. Mark Morse and Ms. Jennifer Parr I am asking you as a resident here consider some kind of help wherever that you think is needed.

Thank You.

PS: My wife & I love it here and love everything that you all do.:) [/B][/QUOTE]

How in the world do you know what the Morse family is doing? Why do you judge people negatively? Are you a merchant in The Villages? I don't get it? What's the complaint?

Like me, they are deaf to every Villager! Period!

And how do you know they aren't helping the shop owners,? Just because they didn't tell everyone?

Does anyone know the contact names and numbers for commercial retail spaces in TV? Are the storefronts at Sumpter, Brownwood, Fenney managed by one or multiple leasing companies?

The Villages Commercial Properties.
