I'm great. I'm still drinking... I figured if snow stopped everything from making sense, then time doesn't really matter anymore so why the hell not?
Good luck with your presentation man... what's it about anyhow?

It's a basic overview of business concepts ranging from capitalism to feudalism.

I really hate to say it, but the more I think about it and the more I live it, the more I want reforms.
Every year in America we pass more and more business laws.
Yet the system largely remains the same.
You've got the top of the top and everyone else (for the most part). Some of this is fair, and some of it DEFINITELY is not. The blessed don't give a shit about the rest. That's capitalism in a nutshell.
What's your take?
LYRICS please...

Pulling and all nighter to adjust some sleeping schedule problems.
Just brewed some shitty coffee. I've been watching Law and Order and Locked Up for the past 4 hours.

I understand why people don't like capitalism, and their arguments don't leave without any merit... but personally, I'm a raw kind of person; meaning I enjoy the instinctive competitiveness and symbiotic compassion of fundamental human survival; basically the idea that one can conquer another, but strangely wont expel them out of shear ruthlessness, similar to Nash Economic Equilibrium--- ex. 'I want 100, but if opposition has 0, then 100 is impossible, so I'll take 90 and opposition has 10, thus recycling monetary endurance to increase number entirety.
Make any sense?

It does.
I just don't see why any of us would want a world where people have way too much and many have way too little, even to the point of hunger, starvation, homelessness, sickeness, hopeless, depression, and anxiety disorders.
When one goes up (and up and up) others mathematically must go down (and down and down...).

I hear you man, I certainly don't want to see people suffer, and I think most people are empathetic to some degree and would feel the same way... humans are, however, both competitive and compassionate, which draws up a constant power struggle between the two and usually and likely the competitive nature prevails, which is why such economic structures, like capitalism, are so successful. While we do maintain a certain compassion and understanding to those less than ourselves, we also maintain a certain pride. Observe this and ask yourself a very personal question with true honesty: "If I were to climb a 50ft tree to pluck an apple from a branch, while everyone else was on the ground, unable or refusing to climb, how much of that fruit would you be willing to share with them?"

That's a fair question.
My response:
If I want to keep any of them as friend's I'll try to pick at least a couple of those fuckers and hand 'em down before I start eating my last apple.
