In other totally legit money news, steve hirsch offers a bazillion gajillion to the Queen for a sextape.
ps lol @ thommy. I have it on good authority you are a good guy, know your industry shit, and have done very well. Kudos for that, I admire anyone who makes it in any biz. Shame about the insane ranting with anyone who doesn't share your view(s) though... for an educated guy you sure seem to have missed the fact that not everyone thinks the same, has the same attitude to being controlled to whatever degrees, have their own feelings on various gov'ts' overreach, have different experiences both past and ongoing, and don't have the same luxuries as you maybe have?
I cringe when I see anyone dismiss the less fortunate, or less well off, or any large group of people eg voters who maybe didn't have the exact same upbringing, the exact same experiences, the exact same network of peers/family, the exact same thought processes, the exact same opportunites, and so on as themselves.. to lump in blithely tar ALL those people as being dumb or bad or 'hitler-esque' (lol wtf) because they don't share YOUR specific thoughts is arrogance and pompousness in possibly it's purest form. I mean seriously, can you check your fucking self for just a second? How is that any different from a racist who tars all with the same brush, or a sexist, or a homophobe, or any other bigot? I'm guilty as anyone at times but some of you guys take it to a whole new level.
Interfering while (genuinely) aiming to 'help', and inadvertently making things worse in the long run is nothing new. The govt's of the world are the top offenders by a fucking long way at such, so is it really any surprise that *gasp* SOME people see gov't overreach as a problem rather than the solution to everything? And for the icing on the cake, they get referred to as neanderthals, told to go kill themselves, are called fascists, and a ton of other retarded shit you and a few other extremists seem to spew out whenever you are presented with different views than you hold, with your entire rhetoric always propped up by your belief that your background in economics means you are unequivically correct and anyone coming from a different life experience is out and out wrong on just about everything they disagree with you on.
Of course economics is important, and I'm not trying to belittle the impact of that, but so does real life, and for millions of people, real life is dictated by well... their actual life. Why not take a moment to dismount that high horse, and at least attempt to see things from the point of view of someone else... you'll almost certainly be able to present your arguments in a way that those who disagree with you will actually absorb and process. Ranting like a spoiled 12 year old girl having a hissy fit will accomplish pretty much fuck all.
