    Don't make it out like Greed was just invented.
    Very true. Just keep in mind it goes around to all classes, and YES involves union bullshit too.

      I also hear examples of CEO's that jump from company-to-company and basically cause the companies to self-destruct because they pursue policies that emphasize excessive short-term growth to provide the illusion or exaggerration of success and burn the company out in the process, destroying it. But it doesn't matter to them because they are long gone after cashing in the inflated stock options!

      Sorry Nick, but I really don't think you know what you're talking about.

      Excessive short-term growth? :D

      "Illusion or exaggerration of success?"

      Stick to foreign affairs, Nick. :p

        You shouldn't advertise your ignorance.

          Stick to foreign affairs, Nick.

          No, but that's exactly what happened at my sister's previous company she was the IT manager for. The president they brought in ruined the company and walked out right as people began to notice. They went to human resources and complained and found this guy had a whole history of running companies into the ground, but jumping ship right before it sank.

          Let me put it in B3 terms then:

          Y'all take da' small block chevy and rev dat' horsepower up der by puttin' like the supercharger on an stuff. Man that bitch 'ill move den! But the problem is dat' the engine burn out 'cause it was never made to handle all da' horses! So the engin dun' der' blowed up b'fore it gets a hundr'd tousand' miles on it!

              Quit being such an asshole.

              I don't give a flying fuck what happened at your sisters IT company. There's every exception to the rule.

              Go to "Hillbilly's R Us" if you want to talk to me like this. I'll talk and debate with ODShowtime and LoungeMachine and FORD instead of you and Demon Cunt since they seem to want to debate rather than trade insults. Yeah, trading a few barbs is the name of the game, but lately its got out of hand. I'm quickly getting bored with it and I simply don't have time for that shit.

                  Jesus BBB, try not to get your panties in a wad, as DaveIsKing told me, it was just a joke. You're buckling under the strain of being that last real conservative poster with any in-depth knowledge.
