    22 years of marriage here. Never bought, given, or worn a diamond in my life.

    Marriage rings are a marketing campaign created to sell you a piece of carbon that is so “rare” they put them on $12 drill bit sets.

    Yep. Yep. Different quality stones. Gotcha. Interested in buying a bridge by chance?




  • This post is in fact cancer.

    Gathering up a billion dollars is a horrific strain to an economy. It is unnatural and impossible by any normal means … it is economic cancer. You could go back in time 2026 years and save the equivalent of $400,000 a year for those 2026 years and you STILL would not have a billion dollars. Its more than anyone ever needs and society should not tolerate gluttony and greed such as this. It is not natural.


  • Imagine we were monkeys in a forest and a few select monkeys were hoarding all of the food in their trees, letting most of it rot or go to little use aside from status and using it to bribe other monkeys to perpetuate the system. This same system that leaves other creatures to starve and suffer. This would be a deranged cancerous behavior, and even more terrifying when you consider it is almost guaranteed to pass down to the offspring. These pests would need to be driven off or eradicated as they would be a serious environmental threat. This is what must be done to billionaires, there just is no place for them in a logical system. They must be treated like rabid animals.








  • Summary for those that dont comprehend: Business scrambles for the next new thing and leaves massive amounts of infrastucture half built and abandoned. Once it was canals, there are half built canals everywhere because the railroads replaced them, the railroads are all but gone because of the trucking industry. “This post is about data centers” Data centers will be another example of abandoned infrastructures.

    The ability to see patterns and draw inferences from past data is considered within a person’s IQ.





  • When 33 states request a monopoly to be broken up and a jury states there are damages from the monopoly then that should be all there is.

    The only thing wrong with the article is that Ticketmaster/Live Nation isn’t a monopoly, it is a Super Monopoly because it owns ALL aspects of the industry … from the advertising to the add on fees when you shop for tickets the food and drink vendors, even the merchandise distribution. As the article said TM is starting to buy arenas and theatres.
