>> This was a remarkable story. I’m sensing a pattern. When people of certain ideologies band together under ostensibly noble causes I think this is the issue - they didn't band together. They all shared the noble cause but one was employing the others. Wrong business structure if the aim is to 'band together' and all equalling share in the hurt of running the business.
