The fact that the store made bad decisions at the end, and that the market chewed it up has nothing to do with feeling badly about the impact of its loss. The fact that someone loses their job and has difficulty making ends meet until they can get another (if they can) can make one unhappy, in spite of the theological wonderment of the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-disposing market. And economists wonder why people keep engaging in uneconomic behaviour.
