I am not sure why the renter of the chairs needed to be told the reason for them not being returned, vs bought. As for a compensation, why would the renting company want or expect full price? Does your car insurance work that way? You seem to be looking for shit, but only finding straw. Dig harder - this completely misses the target, and your credibility suffers. Muckraking score: 3/10. (3 because of mention of the fire). I am not sure why this is a big deal. The renter would have insurance if "a lot" of the chairs burned up and so might the venue where the fire occurred. This just seems like a funny story to me. It doesn't really imply anything to me other than that no one seemed to be thinking straight at the time or the story was misconstrued in some way. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : I'm remembering the story of what happened after a fire in which a lot of rented chairs were burned up. Maharishi told someone to ask the renter of the chairs ""how much would be the cost of the chairs -- since they are used and old.....must be a lower price than new...." like that. Never told about the fire. To me, that kind of "normal business deceit" stuck in my craw -- even back then as a true believer. Seeing how the movement screwed so many people in so many ways, the present report seems hardly significant enough to add to the history.
