What if your business wasn't doing well, or you wanted to change direction?

  Then I should run my business better? And with adequate consideration of the costs of running said business. Disclaimer: I have owned a small business (~$8MM/year revenue) with employees.

    By that token, if being laid off is a terrible hardship for an employee, wouldn't one say that they should have made better financial decisions (eg, saving more)?

      I'm not a Libertarian, and believe in strong labor protections as well as robust social safety nets. You're free to make your argument though. Most of the rest of the first world doesn't agree with your sentiment.

        So why do you think that anyone is entitled to have the rest of the world take care of them? Is nobody responsible for the outcome of their own actions in your worldview? Why is there no onus on individuals to save and take responsibility for their own financial well-being? I don't see why you think being a libertarian or not has anything to do with anything, by the way.
