capitalism *is* fun :-)

Next time you are after hot stock tips … watch out
It’s a great advertisement about the research department at Morgan Stanley, apparently made by Dean Witter.

Our most precious resource.

I was having a late night chat with a good friend. In capitalism, my good friend has a high position with one of the country’s largest mobile operators, and yet I do all the long calls. It’s sad, but that’s why I like capitalism.

Let’s move further. There are 2 kinds of “time” system in capitalism. Shareholder time and employee time.

Shareholder has days from 1 to 365 when it resets. It has hours from 0 to 24, when it again resets. Every hour and every day is good to play golf, watch a movie, get some sleep, go out, and so on. There isn’t “late”, “early”, and other adjectives we use when mentioning time, to emphasize the serious trouble we are in.

Employee has seasons. Months. Weeks. Days. Even the day is divided in working hours …. and well, whatever there is left (if any), is called lunch, evening, morning, etc. He has weekdays, weekends, days-off, etc. Every single minute has a lot of meanings.

Let me give you an example.

Employee: This minute is to late in the night, and he should go to bed because tomorrow is Monday and has to wake up early because they have some anual report they must finish by the end of the week.

Shareholder: This minute I feel like smoking a cigarette

Observe the difference. Not a single word to emphasize time.

It’s why employess have complex calendar softwares, Blackberries, watches, alarm clocks, etc, while a shareholder simply has a sandglass to enjoy the passage of time quietly.

Capitalism surely is fun

I couldn’t stop laughing on this. A turbine to generate power when the toilet is being flushed. This should compensate for the price of a gallon of gas increasing everyday. It’s recommended that you hold yourself after you see the gas prices, until you reach your home and put your ass down on your turbine fitted toilet. The savings in eletricity will help you offset oter costs, somehow

According to climatecare.org my car emits a total of 14.31 tonnes of CO2 each year. That’s enough to fill a truck or crush to death a whole group of environmentalist freaks. In my definition, an environmentalist is the person who sings the tune on which our environment is going down the drain. Sing it lowder! It would cost me 107.29 Euros to offset this. Or I could get really drunk on that money

It’s in Bloomberg Markets magazine now aswell. I can’t wait the day it will happen and people will run around like crazy, asking : “Why didn’t anyone tell us about this?” … well, I am telling you now Sit back, relax and enjoy … we still got a few good years ahead, so let’s just make the best of it.

Whenever I wake up in a bad mood, I read the local news. Only then. And I always get a good laugh. The local right-wing is pushing to create a special task force to fight against poverty. I can imagine … Hans Zimmer for the background music and highly trained military entering your house, filling up your fridge with food, turning up the heat, maybe putting in some Porsche design furniture, and leaving a fat cheque on top of a MacBook Air on your desk. All this will be done quietly, not to disturb the sleep of those that are too lazy to get off their arses and get a job. On their way out, they will also fill your tank with gas. 

Gas prices soared to a record high here, and crude oil is spending it’s weekend at 101.84. Welcome to the 3 digit oil price era

Russia holds elections today. I am going to miss Mr. Putin

A bunch of shower-hater / social networking fans who ‘claim’ to represent the interests of animals, displayed acts of random violence, outside a posh restaurant to ban Foie Gras. These people will manifest against everything that is good and expensive and has a 100% chance they will never taste it in their lifetime. You can read more here. Get over it people. It’s capitalism we live in. If these people, which represent like half the planet, would be taken and left in the woods to starve off, global warming would be sorted out. These people live on the backs of those that work hard to be able to aford some delicious Foie Gras.

A friend of mine showed me the site today. You are going to love this. The very first perfume for personal use only. Vulva . Visit the site. I will let you figure it out for yourself I think I will order mine for 26 Euros (shipping included)

With crude oil over $100, Dan suggested a good investment idea. Toilet paper producers. Sales will go through the roof, as soon as people will see the price of gas at the pump. Good thing those SUV’s have plenty of room to carry ample supplies of toilet paper With today’s uncertain markets, crude oil surely is over $100, and this stock will rise

I have spoken with Dan on the telephone today. He was reading an article about men and what does their car express.

Let me put it this way:Look under your hood. The engine capacity is directly proportional with your manhood. And don’t feed me the “save the planet by driving a 0.05 litre, crap”. The engine capacity in litres, multiplied by 10 will most likely give you the size of your instrument.

Then there is the choice between diesel and petrol. Diesel is always to lazy to get up and go Not the petrol engine Same for your manhood.

We can go a bit further and have turbochargers, superchargers, and so on, to have even more performance.

Question: What do you drive? As I like to put it : What’s in your pants, is most likely under your hood aswell.

I drive a 2.0 Litres, petrol, turbocharged
