Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 13, 2021

The guy making money at a hedge fund is the manager. He wins no matter how the assets perform. They’re not much better than a vulture fund, only because they tend to keep companies running. Like vulture funds they, move assets on the books to make a stock look good and then they dump and move onCryptocurrencies are a ponzi scheme. They limit availability and then hype the product. At some point the bubble will burst. It’s like using Pokemon cards for cash.

I’m not totally opposed to the new way of doing things, but some of them are just… too dangerous…

People that made money also produced something of value.

That LCD monitor should have been a blue-and-white iMac.

Sorry you have to leave, here’s your hat.

The Old School Business Model was so inherently flawed it’s amazing it didn’t collapse sooner.

Ransomware gangs on the dark internet extort bitcoins as ransom after they attack a company or city computer system. if bitcoins flopped it would be easier to catch those dark internet hackers

Oh btw, the hedge fund also raided your pension fund and will pay no tax. And people wonder what’s wrong America …

Moral of the story: be nice to your secretary.

Next time don’t take such a long lunch.

Buy my money! It’s backed by the Federal Government (and God). See where it says on the back? “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

Everyone else pays in negotiable commodities.*

ha ha haaaa… on 5/11/21, my “Actual Commemorative DögéCoin” {$12.99} was worth over 2501.90% more than the cryptocurrency…we shall SEE, eh?

;-)

He was REALLY out to lunch!

I’m thinking he may have knocked first before entering, so is he actually trespassing?

You’re still here? It’s over. Go home. Go.

The term golden parachute bothers me for two reasons: not a lot of buoyancy in gold and a lot of strings that have no flight control.

old school?? i started high school in Providence RI in the original Classical High building and we had graffiti from the Civil War on our desks
