[Rhodes22-list] Political response to Bill E about ... Friday rant...

[Andrew Collins]

Ed

Since you are off on a tangent: AmEx just cancelled my business line of
credit program, i.e. not my account, but all accounts that had this type of
credit line. Sooo, now I find that if I cannot get another institution to
give my firm a line of credit, there may have to be layoffs if the AR falls
off. This is the reality of this capitalist.

If the above comes to pass, then there will be no health insurance for the
ones who lose their jobs, nor for their children. Oh yes, and AMEX is a bank
now, according to the NYT.

Oh, and since my clients can't get loans, they are not building, and don't
need to hire engineers. This is going to be quite a holiday season, thanks
to the absence of leadership in the in the halls of Washington.

Dosvedanya, tovarich Kroposhki.

PS The only project I have line on is a renovaton of an office suite to
become the Polish Mission to the UN, could you put in a word?
