When TiF starts to tell the truth

When you, TIF, stop defending the status quo wherein big networks can sell unviable franchise products to the public, and start telling more truth yourself, I'm sure you won't find my comments bitter.

I always separate the predator franchisors from the ordinary franchisors but the fact remains that the FA's together with the UFOC's permit predators to sell unviable products and grow their networks on the flesh of innocent franchisees who are just a cheap source of capital and labor for the predator.

Just look at the Coffee Beanery Mess and you see the federal policy. The IFA and the FTC are in bed together and the Arbitration Industry joins them in a "French Connection" and the franchisees are toast.

If you don't like my truth. put your own truth out here to refute my truth instead of always attacking me.

If Franchising can stand on its own merrits and the true risk of the investment is disclosed in statistical terms to new investors, I am not against franchising.

When the true risk is disclosed and the buyer signs the contract, this is informed consent. You and others in franchising are "enablers" of this ugly status quo and this is why we have the mess of Quiznos, The UPS Store, CSC, The Coffee Beanery and who knows how many others who are eligible for "quickie loans" on the SBA Franchise Registry.

Clean up the act TIF and get off my back.
