    Investors are shit. If your company can’t make it on the profit from the product or service, it shouldn’t exist.

    At the same time, any company large enough to capture more than half the marketshare of any single segment should be broken up into at least 3 companies.

    And private equity companies buying up small companies and then trading them like playing cards should be banned as well.

    I’m so tired of these lazy, fat, investor class chuckle fucks getting handouts from the government.

        Well, once again Mr TexasDrunk, I find we agree. I just have to couch my words, as we need to “turn down the temperature” or some bullfuck.

          Yeah, I know, but I’m hung over and having a bad day. Those people bring nothing to society and in most cases actively harm their employees and customers before gutting businesses, taking the money, and starting over on the next business.

          Fuck them, fuck their mom, fuck their dog, fuck the horse they rode in on, fuck their grocer, and fuck them again just for good measure.

            Hope you get to feeling better man. And I agree. I work for a company that was bought by private equity and it’s just hot fucking garbage. Multiple times a day I dream of setting the equity partners on fire.

              Appreciate it. I did a 45 minute set tonight and now I’m getting drunk. The bad shit is all melting away!

              I worked for a company where that happened a decade and change ago. It was a total shit show. I was lucky and got out.

                  Heavy rock music, mostly pop covers that we converted but we had to play my friend’s original about fucking his ex girlfriend’s sister about halfway through and a blues/rockabilly song another friend wrote about only missing a woman when he’s drunk to close out.

                  Now I’m watching a hard rock band cover a bunch of shit from the 50s. This is pretty cool.

            Hey now, that grocer is just a dude providing food to their community. Unless they Kroger/Vons/etc, then yeah fuck them.
