> one mistake someone made that somehow makes it okay in our eyes that they have gone from having over a million dollars in inventory to couch surfing with friends and relatives
That's mischaracterizing my point. Should people feel consequences of their mistakes? Absolutely. Should people end up on the street for failing at business? Definitely not.
I think the standard consequence of total failure being "Now you have to look for a job while you're on unemployment" is good enough.
(Although it boggles me how someone with 1.5M in inventory didn't have enough savings to rent a room for a few months…)
