Now what justifies me not being overly chivalrous to someone who has cost me money and now is a liability instead of an asset. As per prior posts she didn’t have time to let the ball start rolling and simply thought that everything happens in an instant. I am as most capitalists here are to make a profit and not end up in the red. So here once again I would have not helped her out getting back to where she came from once again. It is not directly about my morals but the principle of the matter. I am sorry to inform you that I don’t have a massive discretionary fund at my disposal for when a model decides to back out of their prior agreements while I am to honor the same agreements which had stated that after the shoots were finished I would provide transportation back to her original pick up location.

First of all, I appreciate that you have respected my viewpoint and didn't come back full of flame. Now, I get that you aren't made of money. Very few of us are. But, things didn't pan out and with you already in the red $500 , 50 bucks to get her home wouldn't have been such a stretch. Obviously there were issues all around, but you could have done a little c.y.a. and made sure she got home. Shoulda, woulda, coulda...don't matter now. What does matter is that maybe you're more careful in the future and are more aware of how your treatment of someone can affect them and those around them in the grander scheme of things.
