Hahaha! I could almost see them trying that..or buying the International Space Staion. iSpace?
Or maybe buying a patent on air, so we each have to pay to breath.

A phone call that revolves around nothing except money. Now wouldn't I find that surprising in the slightest? That's all they talk about & I'll guarantee you it isn't with regards as to how to give it back to anybody lower on the food chain.

"Let's stick our fingers in more people's asses because we've BSed ourselves into thinking we can do a couple of things 'so' right" has been the death of so many social orders it isn't even funny. History has proven that theory time & again.

i like the idea of ending world hunger.I'm assuming they will invest some of it and the rest will go to giving the bosses a fat bonus.
