In my opinion, withheld from my article with more vigilance than any fact, businesses aligned with this position are shamefully short-sighted. For businesses to opt out of the system and lobby politicians to renege on municipal agreements, just to save a few bucks, is the real disservice to the community in this issue. In the interest of the common good, business should be supporting and advising SPSA, not seeking to break its back in the scramble to force cheaper trash rates for itself. Often I have heard it said that the purpose of a business is to make money. This is the lie to which I would redirect Mr. Lambert's attention.
Capitalism is about interdependence and the exchange of services.
