Ever read a cellphone contract?

Ever get a call from a "credit department" for your outstanding $50 balance?

Ever see a shoplifter get pounded?

Ever see a bank robber get shot.

Nobody stopped buying.
Nobody quit doing business.

This is because of a very simple concept :

People who paid for what they wanted don't give a shit about what happens
to people who didn't pay.
