  > It’s not just or fair that people lose their source of income and ability to support their families through no fault of their own. There's nothing unfair about it. No person or company is entitled to other people or companies buying their services or goods. Your "source of income" is just other people making decisions with their money. Which they are free to make however they want (as long as they honour agreements that already exist, of course).

    Your definition of "fair" assumes the supremacy of property rights over everything else that might potentially be valued by a society. Specifically, the right of the owner of a productive asset to collect as much of the profit from that asset as he wishes, up to 100%. You seem pretty certain of this, so I'm not going to try to talk you out of that definition, but try to imagine that there are other valid definitions of "fair" out there that don't place individual property rights as high on the totem pole.
