This is off topic: Josh quotes a column by Joe Nocera re Trump:
“…He is notorious for refusing to pay full price to contractors and vendors after they’ve completed work for him. And he basically dares the people he has stiffed to sue him, knowing that his deep pockets and bevy of lawyer…”
I’m not defending Trump, but my jobs in the 1970’s in NYC/NJ area brought me into contact with many businesses who either practiced this themselves or were victims of this kind of behavior.
The unwritten rule was to use your suppliers or contractors as an interest-free source of capital.
Trump ain’t unique at this, just an egregious practitioner of it.
