I’m gonna get busted for overposting .. but – and I know its your method of survival – but .. stocks imo and their unintended consequences of transferrance is the primary issue to address for rebalance’g the world in your precious capitalism (before going to war)
imo stocks are transfer’g to much power to an entity that can not die once IT reaches a certain size – a whale that only consumes to survive (doesn’t need to M&A but it does wish/need to remove the competition) .. can’t die from old age (like the rest of us) and can setup relations to other cartels to do all sorts of getovers .. has been given the power to reward itself over the primary investors .. in increase’g uncertain trust time periods can wash & rinse the books (considerable taxpayer expense to investigate prosecute incarcerate) …. in general a lawful operation to provide a leg up on everyone else who is not smart/lucky enough to be either government sponsored or corporate sponsored in this 21st century …. whereas the old world borrow cash (the antistock) to expand had a limiting effect on desires through repayment rules and a slower thought process .. ie less Private profits & Public losses
yet – I know you boys love competition – its game day again – now go tear off some heads

Instead of busting you for overposting, maybe you should be busted for trolling. But this is so much fun, I can’t resist! Let’s see, where shall I begin…
First, you might want to think about using facts, instead of nonsense as the basis for your argument:
“imo stocks are transfer’g to much power to an entity that can not die once IT reaches a certain size ”
… like, Lehman Brothers? Or Woolworth? Or US Steel? Certainly monopolies can be a problem, but to argue that large and influential corporations “can’t die from old age” is simply wrong. But, of course, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good argument!
Second, you might want to use logic to construct your arguments. Even if there weren’t large corporate failures, we still have Google and Salesforce.com to show us that new ideas can be born and thrive in an otherwise stable economy. So your conclusion that it “has been given the power to reward itself over the primary investors” is false even if your premise was correct.
Third, at least you could provide us without nonsense that was written coherently. For example, you say “in increase’g uncertain trust time periods can wash & rinse the books “…. What? One of the reasons that your English teacher wasted so much red ink on your term papers, is that punctuation, spelling, and using proper paragraphs can help your reader grasp what you’re trying to say.
Now excuse me, I need to get back to work, “tearing off some heads.”

“Lehman” M&A’d into the big cash pool .. “Woolworth” to Kmart to WalMart to ? .. “US Steel” I’m sure they got M&A’d also at penny’s on the dollars – old defunct plants exchanged with a TIF grant in some other state for its generation of new jobs and wow “a new plant”
I appologize for the mess of words as related in your 3rd redX – I should spend more time to write better & in full sentenses in this high end blog – sorry to waste your braincells on that one
“increase’g uncertain trust time periods” was intended to mean
these days, post Lehman crisis, the public is lose’g (losing) it’s trust in the system, that it legitimately works through all levels equally (imo)
psst – generally I should lighten up and face the music that my stuff (real & #s in accounts) is being hunted as part of this capitalist process .. and 54 is a ripe old age really
and “trolling” not in my pov – ok well maybe for real change in mindset – I’m not selling a product – POTUS Greg NOT (couldn’t handle Secret Service for the rest of my life) – I know thats hypocritical ie dirtyjob I won’t do

& CarlC on that Google remark (my life the last week or so ie delivering phonebooks door to door) .. inside our remarks – that brings up a concept going around the head as I exercise .. we have 3 books in our area – ie the phone service, a grownup giant with a large service area and a new upstart .. as a tree hugger I believe 1 is enough .. as a techie I believe none are needed any longer .. as a small businessman 1 is the correct amount – meaning advertise in the reference book of the territory but not in more than 1 because of expense
I’m just throw’g that out – because thats the kind of discussion this blog is about – I think this industry is in for a Woolworth moment (and I don’t want it to go badly for anyone) (that music in me)
