When the top execs of Corporate America take 99% of the profit?

Nobody “earns” 700 million. Larry Ellison may have done 7 time or even 70 times more work than I, but not 700, and definitely not 7000. Same goes for Gates, Ballmer, Eisner and yes, Steve.



Any system in which there is too much inbalance will break down. The same thing that happened to feudal monarchy will happen to Corporate America.



I believe the conditions are ripe for a revolution within the next five to ten years. What holds the current system in place is everyone’s hope of making it big themselves. We all think we have a stake in the status quo. But the internet stock market boom and the subsequent bust has shown there are really only a handful of people who make money, and they will always make money whether the economy is good or not.



Why are we working hard for a system which rewards us so little? Both in terms of how we are valued and how we get paid. The wage slaves of the 20th century will look very similar to future generations as peasants of the 17th century.



guillotine time!

Someone check the temperature in hell, because there’s a new contagent.com.

Oh, it’s still there. But search for something. Anything. Sigh.

That’s one thing about the web. It makes it easy to copy someone else’s hard work in the blink of an eye. And the most insulting is that all that’s original about it is frames, a flash nav and dropshadows.

To those of you that are interested, there are new screenshots up of the project management system I’m developing.

I watched my first ever full game of Soccer tonight. Sure, I’ve been getting excited and keeping up and everything, but this USA vs. Mexico game I just had to watch all the way through. It was brilliant. Bloody historical. First World Cup shutout since 1950. And the last time we made it to the Final Eight? 1930. Exciting stuff. Despite Kev’s astute post, have more Americans been swayed by this World Cup? Will this victory affect NAFTA? Does the World Cup justify rampant vicious nationalism? Questions abound. Of course, the only one question remains: How do those Nazi bastards think that they can step to us? Bring it on, Adolf.

Sincerely,

A very sick man.

Apple’s newest marketing efforts… “Using my PC was like being stuck in bad relationship..” Hee.

…There’s smoke:

Cough.

You mean there are other Colorado-based blogs? Damn. I had no clue.
