I would like to comment a bit on this to demonstrate my economic knowledge. If I'm to get your respect, I should at least be able to dabble in the field you're adept.<br /><br />When Keynes was head of the British delegation during World War II's negotiations on multilateral trade, he alienated the American opposite numbers with his attitude, his pretensions, and his lack of understand of U.S. (or as the Brits would say "US") business.<br /><br />It is hard to understand how you can be a Great Economist without fully comprehending the workings of the U.S. market. The Canadian economy, where I'm from, is an appendage of the U.S. one. Power lines and economic flows run north-south, from Canadian city-states like Toronto to Chicago/New York, and from Canadian resource pits like Calgary down to California. They do not run east to west, as they should in a real country.<br /><br />If Canada were part of the United States -- which it should be -- the opportunities for business here would be much, MUCH greater. The socialistic left-wing tinge of Canadian politics makes it less efficient to run a business here.<br /><br />The Corporation I plan on incorporating in Toronto in the year 2018 will be one, thus, operating under handicaps. You, Captain Capitalism, as V-P of Finance (assuming I can ever get enough moolah together to launch this thing) will have to figure out a way to reduce my corp -- Quadelitedom's -- tax burden, and lighten the Canadian regulatory onerous concerns that will bedog and bedevil it.<br /><br />Anyway *chops hand sideways* we can discuss this later.<br /><br />Thank you again for not dismissing me as a crackpot. You have been wandering for a long time in the wilds, and I feel that you are coming to the end of your tether. You need rescue. Someone MUST lend a hand to lift you up. If I can bootstrap myself, that someone will be CEO Nikolic for you, Aaron.<br /><br />BTW, I wrote a review of you as a writer on my website. Go to qedbook.wordpress.com and scroll down. It's sandwiched between two reviews of your fellow co-executives, Delicious Tacos (visit his site at delicioustacos.com based in Los Angeles to get a glimpse of his mind at work) and Heartiste (ditto, at heartiste.wordpress.com) These are the men you will be working CLOSELY with. I have great faith and trust in you all. And, even, I suppose, love, if you can believe that of a total stranger who's just seen your videos, heard your podcasts and read your works. You're a gem, Cappy. -- (future) CEO Greg Nikolic of Quadelitedom Corp and novelistCEO Nikolicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-35065399503733555742016-09-08T11:55:15.004-07:002016-09-08T11:55:15.004-07:00Damn...just...drop the mike on your way off the st...Damn...just...drop the mike on your way off the stage!<br /><br />*applause!*<br /><br />Having been trapped among grad students who only care about 'teh feelz', this is a breath of fresh air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-85439468681318003872016-09-08T10:59:01.865-07:002016-09-08T10:59:01.865-07:00Political shit at the top, usefull shit at the bot...Political shit at the top, usefull shit at the bottom. I would also add that things like cars actually are going down in price if you calculated the effect of the credit machine that's attached to them.
