ReplyDelete"Minnesota to cut two health care programs for the poor" reads a title of an article by Michael Stapleton (25 January 2010)
You know, Minnesota, home to 19 Fortune 500 companies and several billionaires.
Get the picture?
And where are all the females in this world of the rich? or is this really a mans world when it comes to money?
ReplyDeleteComment on 2nd reply.
ReplyDeleteDefinately, you will not see any females since men are making the money, but women are the spenders. Forget seeing any females.
I Know one day my name is also come there....
ReplyDeletehi again, they have to be an example to encourage us to be the best! time is money!stop dreaming! take action!
ReplyDeleteBefore u open that gap of your's . check around
ReplyDeleteOh, how trite!
ReplyDeleteAll the comments seem to support making lots of money - the American Dream ... Oh, how nice to live in a beautiful multi-room mansion by the sea, lake or woods or whatever ... maybe with a Lamborghini or Rolls parked in the garage ... etc., etc.
Well, I hope you live long enough to realize your dreams if you don't die from cancer from the 200+ industrial chemicals found in YOUR blood (as it is found in the blood of new born infants). Even cancer-causing DDT or its metabolites, which was banned in 1972 in the U.S., is STILL found in human breast milk and in animals throughout the world! (Yet some countries still use the American product - DDT, because American companies, like Union Carbide etc. make lots of money selling it - Oh how wonderful! The selfish American Dream!) About 25+ years ago 1 out of 30 women or so got breast cancer. Today its around 1 in 10 or so. But, the males shouldn't feel left out of the "American Reality": cancer of prostrate has has also risen in the last decades. It was only confirmed in the last decade or so, what has been known for a long time: that these chemicals often disrupt the hormonal balance in our bodies causing havoc within our bodies.
Many of these chemicals are insecticides and pesticides which help the corporate farmer rid the soil of pests. What is farmer to do without them? How can a farmer, also realizing that wonderful American Dream, make tons of money without using tons of pesticides? Well, he can't because the American Dream means making tons of money no matter who is killed, injured along the way.
Of course, there are other ways of realizing the American dream. You could invest in or be part of the military-industrial-complex that has done nothing but grow in wealth and influence since the 1950s. And, that wonderful enterprise brought us the Iraqi War, which we are all led to believe was a war against terrorism (You its "terrorism" today, Communism during the Cold War, American Indians during the 1800s - American Dream always seems to need to some dead bodies to stand on to feel proud!)
How how wonderful the American Dream, but you'll have to build a dome over and surrounding your dream-mansion by the lake, because our planet is dying. (And I said not one word about global warming, which big business is spending money having us believe it does not exist!) Instead of thinking of your own greedy self, why don't you think about the poverty and malnourished in the U.S. Never before in the history of humankind has there been so much malnutrition - something like 1/3 of all humans on earth.
Peaceful Dreams ...

I'm left here thinking how long it takes me to make 80K a year. Never the less how long it will take me in my life time to earn a million. These young billionaire already have a 1,000 millions. Im definetly doing something wrong.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to assist. It takes approximately 1 year to earn 80K at the rate of 80K/year. :)
ReplyDelete12.5 years to earn 1M.
What you are doing wrong is wasting your time trawling the internet when you should be earning/making money.
Have you check here in Nigeria before proceeding Or is Nigerians not in this word.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Forbes, there are 2 verifiable Nigerian billionaires, both of whom are older than these guys.
ReplyDeleteThey are Femi Otedola - 43 and Aliko Dangote - 53.
And Nigerians are definately in this word...and world. I get emails from them all the time.
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall at a Nigerian billionaires club meeting when these two get together.
ReplyDeleteYou may not have to be that fly Xeno. On thursdays they have a millionaires free night. Stick a couple of months wages in your back pocket and you'll be a Nigerian millionaire easily. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy would you want to be a fly on the wall .... ?
ReplyDeleteJust as Russian oligarchs or the wealthy in most other places these people are completely Western. Their tactics may differ somewhat from the wealthy in other places, but like other people of wealth, they're out, first of all, for the big no. 1 - ME!
Aliko Dangote alias “Chemical Ali” has a "track record is such that the notorious German warlord Adolf Hitler would grin with envy." ("The Many Sins Of Aliko Dangote," Nigeria News, 07 Jun 2009)
He began as millionaire in his teens coming from a super wealthy Dangote family. He uses his connections in government circles to hurt the competition in cement, sugar, rice, salt, etc., which his many companies monopolize.
Femi Otedola's father was the Governor Lagos. He monopolizes diesel and kerosene in Nigeria.
I don't understand why wealthy people are glorified in articles like in Forbes, in shows like "Dallas," etc., etc. To me they're disgusting!
ANN hope you contact me .........................syena my email id is syena.inesh@yahoo.com

THINK THEY CONTRIBUTE NOTHING BUT THINGS TO SAY "I AM A MILLIONRE".
these people don't even look young they look like they are in there 90's. their faces are sagging and look like a got damn wild animal. this is a bunch of bullshit. these people ain't young. they are old as hell.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you, 12? Prince Albert did look a bit wild in the first photo, I've updated it. Sorry Prince. But about your comments Ron, I say, Ha! If 25 years old is as old as hell, you are going to be miserable for the majority of your life.
ReplyDeleteYou don't seem to understand the word "youngest". Of two people, one who is 99 and one who is 100, the 99 year old person is the youngest.
Actually Xeno, without wishing to appear too pedantic, of the two people you mention the 99 year old would be the younger. If his 98 year old brother turned up as well, the brother would be the youngest.
ReplyDeleteFact to know about me!!
ReplyDeleteYou are no more a kid, though not matured enough, yet certain facts that ‘er of life reality could still be comprehended for sure little committed to brain will add more to your wisdom.
Quite a number of resources men today have been a waste.
Not due to the fact that they have unable to make “Hay” while the sunshine but for the fact that they ‘er denied those privileges and opportunity that will make them make the hay. …. This is where you could understand better the adage that states “An opportunity lost can never be regained” simply because you can not step into the same river twice. ………………… Its unfortunate that I could be going through these Odds. Yet, if manage properly, I could still make the best out of it.
To me its never a problem but realities of life. Why? If the rich could also cry, I wonder what the case of the poor, a bloody masses …………………. Yet this is were our glory and success uses. The only way of ours is the hard way, I just have to live the odds time, manage it to receive the amazing Grace. Sweetness follows bitterness.

Bayo..
