Where is the +1 to put in µT6 post?

Well said, worst part of capitalism, to use the philosophy that "dog eats dog".  I've been looking for an article of an entrepreneur who is the owner of a chain food stores and also began in his own garage, he is also a millionaire and a good example of how to make money and give growing opportunities to the rest, I can't find it.  Maybe you know him.

Now I remember  +1   ;D   ;D   ;D
I shall pass this way but once;
any good therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show
let me not defer nor neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

The top spots of a pyramid in any large company is a place very few reach. Business is war or at best sports at the extreme level. Everything is in the rules. Other than by a government money can’t be created or destroyed. Wealth can only be accumulated by taking it from others. That is an economic fact not an opinion. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many others were or are at the top of the business food chain. This group found a product others wanted and were willing to pay for and agree to follow the rules set by the respective providers. That’s it. End of story. No one forces us to buy the products. Steve Jobs provided a product I could use. Bill Gates expanded the user base to the masses including us non-geeks. I admire both. Three weeks ago I bought a new widescreen notebook with everything that is available including windows 8. I used it for two weeks and gave it away. I have not used windows since 2005 and found out it’s still nothing I want to use.

Not with a gun but when there is no alternatives is called monopoly and in one way or another Microsoft has one that is being reinforced recently trough restricted boot.

Oh dear...  What naive rubbish!  Government doesn't control the issue of credit.  Abraham Lincoln seized the control of US credit issue from the European bankers about the time he brought in the greenback but the US gov lost that power to the reserve banks in the 1920's.
In Australia even our tax refund cheques are issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia (a private banking syndicate that controls wholesale credit - not a part of government).

(However I agree with most of the rest of your statement BTW)

No. I have read your posts for a long time. I don't think you're a cynic. Much to the contrary. I find your comments not only on point but very kind and informative. I'm glad you're here.  :)

I guess DonKKong is correct but I hope not.
