I was just trying to explain to my 26 year old son how a 30 minute power nap can buy you several hours at the end of your night. I discovered that about the same age, when I got a girlfriend who didn't get off work until midnite, while I had a normal 9-5. A post work power nap could keep me awake later to hang out with her.

Cocaine. Lots of cocaine.

I'm cool with that, too.

They are all evil, so just choose the cheapest one.

Start reading about business, and start thinking about a micro business you can start with very little money, and start doing it. Never forget that the ONLY goal is to make a profit, because that is your income.

This is a perfect example of why we have to confiscate the bulk of the fortunes of Sociopathic Oligarchs.

We have this guy operating his own foreign policy in a very sensitive war with nuclear weapons in the mix. The rest of the world shouldn't have to be at the mercy of his arrogance and hubris, waiting for him to get bored with this game, and move onto the next one, hopefully before he blows up the planet.

He has been proven to be massive national and global security threat, who will only become more dangerous as he hoards more money. Just strip his citizenship, confiscate his money and his companies, and deport him to South Africa. Then use his example as a threat to other Sociopathic Oligarchs.

If you're going to work that hard to make some rich guy richer, why wouldn't you do that for yourself?

I had that revelation 30 years ago, and I've been mostly self-employed since. Even in those times when I wasn't, I was still working for my own benefit, not anyone else's. Those jobs didn't last long. I can only work for myself. I'm a good boss, I get away with everything.

I'd consider it for:

  • The right job
  • The right money

But it's going to have to be the kind of job I would put in those kinds of hours for free, and get paid at least triple what is reasonably expected.

Good, keep those freaks away from the rest of us.

Prices always rise, that's life. But when I can get equal service at half the price, I'm taking the cheaper option. I need the money more than some evil transnational corporation.

Ask them, I'd bet you'd find some takers.

I just quit Verizon after nearly 20 years with them. Their service got worse and worse, and their prices kept rising. I switched to T-Mobile, and the service is about the same, but it's less than half the price.
