I'm married to a 'Nam veteran with PTSD. I can't even begin to describe the anger and rage I'm feeling reading this and before I wind up breaking any of the non-commenting rules, I'll better switch to emergency puppies.

The usual reich-wing hypocrisy, then...

The "MSM" never stopped shrieking about Bill Clinton's Vietnam record for eight whole years. Here's the thing; Clinton was a conscientious objector. Donald J Trump and George W Bush were draft dodgers.

Except the means to the end of our constitutional way of governance, without ever actually understanding any of it.

Seriously, with new clients, you have to start getting half up front, the remainder due when services are delivered. It's easier to start with new clients, and then at some point send out a message to each existing client that payment processing is changing. By then you'll be able to ask without fear. I have a small business, and we used to spend 10% of our time chasing customers for payment, or sitting with finished product that never got picked up (or paid for). Several years ago we began asking for half up front, and no one ever blinked an eye. They have to pay up front on the internet, so they are conditioned to pay all or half if requested. If your service involves once-monthly recurring payments, change it to 2 payments per month, due on the 15th and 30th. No payment received by the 15th? No additional work performed until payment is received. As you say, waiting for payment for services already performed is grueling. It is also bullshit. They aren't going to change unless you change the rules, unfortunately. Also, anyone who balks was planning to screw you anyway, so fug 'em.
