Good! Problem solved. If everyone would worry about themselves, problems would get fixed a hell of alot faster.
"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much." - Gordon Gekko (
Wall Street)
You understand that's true, right?
Do you think Steve Jobs was the greatest philanthropist on Earth when he brought out the iPhone or the iPad? Do you think drug companies innovate life saving drugs because they want to be remembered as great guys? Do you imagine that every advance that ever occurred in this country came about through altruism?
No. It came about because people wanted to better themselves, to provide a living for themselves and their families and they worked and invented and invested and gave their lives to those goals. And in the course of doing that they provided goods and services that were science fiction even when I was a child, and a standard of living inthis country that was imaginable only by princes even 100 years ago.
But turds like David think all of that ought to be free.
