Seems that way through enough experience and empirical evidence. I just wonder what could have happened if we enforced anti-trust law earlier on... they were meant to help prevent monopolistic companies from taking over everything. Maybe it was a lost hope, but I would've liked to see the system functioning as intended for once.

What's the problem? Is it unchecked capitalism? I think it might be unchecked capitalism.

Network. Get to know people. That's what my parents never got across. People can hand you jobs in Uni. Out there you have to scruff for them and fight tooth and nail for a crappy job regardless of your SAT scores. The bigger thing that I never understood: you don't make yourself. Other people bolster you into positions. It's not cheating. It's how the system works.

I would settle for, "not tired".

Do they.call them, "Ranchers" down there or is everyone a farmer? Legit question, because no one in the states would bat an eye at that ambiguation save for farmers and ranchers.

Maybe calculated tariffs on commodities where companies are contemplating outsourcing, but that's a step you take in advance in order to dissuade their action. This is like making the whole school sit with their heads down through recess because one specific kid was unruly.

Edit: There wasn't even an unruly kid. The Principal is just vindictive, has a hangover, and hates children.
