Actually for your information, NO, you won't be going to bunker. The underground cities Government has built across the US for emergencies and all kinds of illegal operations, you have to have at least Top Secret clearance to get a seat. Being just an online Fed apologist won't do sir. Sorry, you'll have to fight and burn on the surface like the 99% Sometimes, government promises seats to people, but they lie. Government is funny that way
Don't you find that traditional way of life to be boring as hell? Finish school, get job, marry, have kids, die. Sorry but not for me.
Quite satirical, at least the article comes across as humorous, if you wanna be serious at least wear a white shirt that looks it costs more than 50 dollars and a suit that is at least branded and maybe you wanna stand in front of a background other than your typical American city's slum; that would be a little more reflective of the author's proclaimed pedigree. Almost reminds me of the mafia boss with millions in the bank and 5 Rolex watches on the wrist but tomato sauce stains on his shirt and greasy hair. And I particularly love guys who talk a lot, maybe we should take a closer look at his volunteer work and attitude to giving. Because actions in my book count a lot more than big swinging dig speeches. Take a look at Bill Gates and then we can talk. Additionally, as the author admitted, the article was not really reflective of a too high IQ. Example: Nobody claims America's richest are good for society because they are rich and have a lot of purchasing power, a statement the author made and tried to counter-argue. Instead the rich, particularly those who earned their riches through productive work (rather than inheritance, only) are good for America because they provide jobs. Another effect is that they pay absolutely higher taxes than your middle-income Joe (no matter the many accusations that the rich pay no income taxes at all). Who gives a fuck whether your food stamp is financed through Mr. Average Joe's income tax or Mr. Richy's capital gains tax. A pretty naive article, though there were couple thought provoking bits and pieces...
Not sure if CEO vs actors is a fair comparison. The average income from acting could very well be 5k per year, which has little to do with total average income for a guild member. An alternative example - I hold an AMGA certificate but my income from guiding people in the mountains is negligible, yet I'd not consider myself a "poor climbing guide". There is little doubt that income/wealth inequality is a bad thing, just not clear how it could be fixed. It's also clear, given the technology and productivity gains, that it will only get worse from here on. When I first started working, every managing director had a secretary - nowdays, there is a shared secretary for 10 of them. I write my own emails, make my own appointments etc. The people that would have become secretaries - what would they do nowdays?
....And funny how often Jews open their mouths about things not sitting right with them while they have all their diamonds safely stashed away. Ever watched a documentary or honestly researched why there has been so much anti-semitism in Europe (and elsewhere in the world)? I am not an anti-semitist whatsoever, quite the opposite, I have a deep respect for Judaism and the Jewish "race" and belief system (which hardly any American Jew nowadays practices by the way) but what I strongly dislike is that influential "entities" in media and politics have basically blocked an honest dialogue, media representation and research into the fact that Jewish financiers, bankers, business owners have been the worst to squeeze out their employees, business partners, and especially those who owed them. There is always a reason why someone hates you, there is always a reason someone dislikes you, and there is always a reason why someone looks the other way when you finally get smacked around. It is ironic that this author suddenly tries to play the moral and social card when 2/3 of Washington, Media, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Venture Capital, Private Equity is in the solid hands of Jewish hegemonies who have very little to zero intent to let go of their power. What the author is postulating is almost the same as if Loyd Blankfein (Goldman) urged all other investment banks to chip in during the crisis so that it does not get worse and so the vulture is allowed to survive. How about starting to volunteer and give like many of the author's country men such as Bill Gates; in my world that qualifies to open the mouth wide open and postulate a new world order. Everything else sounds empty and motivated by opaque self-serving interests.
ups there we go...you know which two kinds of people are almost identical? a) certain Jews who get startled and all obsessed when someone even types the term "jew" and b) go to the comment section of the FT each time there is an article on corruption and bribery in Chinese government channels and you find a number of pawns that seem to be fully-employed only to avenge the inexcusable act of writing as Western journalist about Chinese affairs. Both groups have in common that by default those they accuse must by default be wrong because they must not understand. So, Sle, I deeply apologized that as informed and intelligent individual who most likely has a much much deeper understanding of Judaism and history in Europe, the middle East and Asia than most...that I dared to even inject this issue, my deepest apologies. Fortunately I am an entrepreneur myself and not too important that I have to fear reprisals.
