OB, your bitch is mostly incoherent and vague. How does having no heat equate to the owner getting a real job?
Now, while the vast majority of people will not be able to identity the business in question, I know exactly to which business you refer. so let me give you some more information…
The owner of that business also has a very successful business not too far away. He is also professionally employed in another profession. Clearly, your suggestion is redundant.
To the issue of heat… I can’t understand why he thinks reducing the temperature is a good idea, especially for a business of this type. I would agree with your assertion that it’s not a good business practice but with worse management, a huge loss of clientel and other assorted problems, they manage to keep the doors open.
Could they be making more money than it does now and in the past? Sure! Will it close anytime soon? Nah. Is he a poor manager? Yep! And that’s it.
A final note: Vaguely complaining here will do no good. I suspect complaining in person will do no good. On top of that, we all know he doesn’t open his wallet except to put money in. He has a monopoly – go or don’t.
A REAL JOB: THE ONTOLOGICAL QUESTION
In what sense does the North end business owner fail to satisfy the criteria of a “real job?” What IS a real job and, further, is there a cause-effect relationship between his not having a real job and the fact that his business is going under? How can a business go under when the owner does not have a real job? Can it be that, like the owner who does not have a real job, that the business itself is not a real business? Are both the owner and the business unreal, existing only in some diminished sense in a some surreal twilight zone? It appears that we are dealing with an ontological question here.
What, after all, is reality itself? Some equate reality with tangibility, the quality of being able to be touched like a physical object. Clearly neither a real business nor a real job exist in this way. To speak of a “job” or a “business” it to employ global concepts which cannot themselves be seen or touched. The concept lies at another order of reality. Indeed, it is questionable whether the term “reality” as is commonly understood might be coherently employed in this context. This is the question which must be addressed before engaging that of a “real job” and a “real business.” It is the ontological question.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
No heat in the middle of winter can’t be good for business. Unless, of course, it’s a meat locker.
Technically…
Probably that lame hipster business-owner who thinks cutting hair is a valid prerequisite to leading a municipality.
