how it all started
One evening, I was having the usual chat with my Steve Jobs worshiper friend, Dan. As usual, he was showing me the latest Apple related stuff he found on the internet (and which he can now afford, as he has a fancy job in an office building, working overtime to increase the company’s market capitalisation). I was doing about the same thing, except I was looking for more serious things, then chinese iPod speakers. Like this P’7122 Motive Floor Lamp from Porsche Design:
Dan immediately pointed out the fact, that it’s not available in the US and Canada. Offcourse it’s not. Due to it’s high price, the item is only available in Eastern European countries, where the abundace of oil, corruption and cheap labour makes possible the existance of people with the buying power to aquire this item.Things being said, Dan suggested I should start blog and write on these things. Which I did, having nothing better to do this evening.

I cannot think of a better person to talk about capitalism than Robert!
Well off, witty, young and bold, entrepreneurial and stock player, but passionately show-off on all “fuck me, I’m a rich capitalist bastard” occasions. All juicy and sarcastic, hate him but learn to love him as he leads the way.
Go Robby Rich, The Capitalist Bitch, Go!
