    And Gates and the computer dorks just happened to be smarty pants and where there to capitalize on an emerging industry. Some brains, some luck and some hard work......

    but jeez, these dudes didn't even have the discipline to finish college. Yeah, they were just to advanced for school.....

    Zuckerberg stole the Facebook idea from his pals, which idea was lifted from FRESHMAN FACEBOOKS handed out by colleges to let the incoming class masturbate to their new classmates pictures.....

    Most Hollywood big shots got their start from family connections......

    And most richers come from other richers. But they are scared of ghosts.

    Putting your mind to it and having the ability/making that sacrifices are 2 entirely different things. I wanted to be a pro surfer in my younger years but realized that ability wasn't there so i devoted my energies to areas I knew i could excel.

    Hitler employed a lot of people also.

    The Koch Bros are not good people.

    That's all you have to say for yourself?

    Guess I'm just wasting my words on another knight of the business order. You don't give a sh*t about this country, you just give a sh*t about your bank account. Sorry I wasted my words on someone who couldn't cobble together a dignified response.

    bottom line, is that you CAN get ahead by making good decisions and hard work but its not guaranteed but if clinging to the believe that rich people are evil and helps you deal with your own life situations than I guess you can keep that crutch.

    I took the time to deflate your original claim. Don't see the need to waste anymore on someone so wrapped up in emotionalisms. have a good one.

    either way it equates to bribing in my eyes

    and pump, yes hard works counts for something, but the old adage, tis not what you know but who you blow comes into play.

    to become rich, you usually gather/collect profits/excess value employees make for you. some would say the excess value belongs to laborer. I tend to agree with that

    capital vs labor is an old argument. I tend to side with the people who work. not saying capital doesn't have a place, but currently it is 'overvalued' imo

    Pump,

    Serious question. Do you think people should achieve wealth by legal and ethical means or is it ok to achieve wealth via any means necessary?

    The American Red Cross has blood DONATED to them, free of charge. They now charge $8000 per bag to hospitals and other healthcare centers. Ethical?? You love the Red Cross, don't you?? Everybody does.

    You wanted to be a pro surfer. Ahh, I wanted to be pro boogie boarder. Rip Curl was going to give me a free wetsuite each year to go on tour. And I had my Wavejammer backing. I expected big things.....

    Ahh dreams .........

    No wonder I was on drugs....

    But I realized I was never going to drop in deep at 7.9 foot Pipe and rip big airs over shallow coral. Yeah the L-Jetty is where I draw the line.

    Plus, me and contests never got along.

    Hell, nowadays I'm over paddling out in the abyss that is the east coast when it gets over 6 foot. Chasing corners, man. Chasing corners...... 6 foot is not 72 inches by the way.

    We need a reef. And a channel.....

    Ha. Actually he's coming after me someday. Oh MIS did you get my spot change...

    Nahhh, I don't DO AC. Wow, I'm on it today, huh? Some may get that one, some may not. And that is ok.

    Yeah, Seen tomorrow at the station. I'll try and be on the inner-city apartment complex. "member the first time I came up, there was an active loitering session in front of that complex and nothing since. Maybe tomorrow.

    BARRY: How much blood is in a bag? 8000, huh? I could live in CT for two weeks on that kind of scratch.

    O Barry...sorry the reunion is over, your five minutes is up. But I'm feeling generous today.

    No, that is not ethical and should be stopped.

    I wanted to be a marine biologist. Even have a graduate degree to prove it.
    But it finally dawned on me, I was never going to get rich, sitting in a dinghy, counting guppies....

    Non-profits are some of the worst offenders.

    So you are a drug dealer?

    What company, man?

    You got any opioid samples to hand out? I've been oval-less for like three weeks now.
