That's where honor for prior contributions ought to play a role, if honor really has any value to those people, and that's where it gets really dicey. Not saying with Joe Fox in particular, but I have seen it with other situations.

It is especially the case in two types of conditions of commerce; rent, and employment.

You can pay rent somewhere for over half a decade, and when the "owner" decided it would be more profitable to do some other arrangement, then whammo, you are a liability or burden. Same with employment. Get a little older, slower, make some mistakes or whatever, crossing that line from asset to liability, then you have better have stocked up some money ahead of time, because they will find a way to get you down the road. Sticking with them in good faith, not being greedy about your contribution to the business, nah, too bad.

We need full depth nationbuilding community making efforts on these things where honor is a viable commodity. We also can't be in open warfare with any government system while half our people require retirement and disability payments.

Likewise, we can't be sending the young to fight and extort for an unrealistically unsustainable lifestyle and then they get nothing in return, or have every self centered 25 year old figure his attendance is worth walking away with the majority of profit to investment ratio on every deal.
