I don't quite understand. Are you saying it's immoral to sell a business? Is it retiring that's immoral? I didn't say that everyone secretly anything, I just don't understand why the hate.

Look, there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I get that, and fully believe it. But I don't get why people think "selling out" is a thing when it's often basically short hand for "retiring and letting someone else make the money."

    It's not immoral to sell a business but anybody who actually has or even founded one and has an intact moral compass would not sell in a way you described.

    You have a responsibility for your customers and employees and you don't just throw it into the dumpster like that because money isn't everything.
