WEDNESDAY'S PILLS

For just over my price range, I can get something way under my quality expectation level. Thanks, inflation!
 Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.

Women fake orgasms and men fake finances. A man always has two reasons for what he does--a good one, and the real one. Our moral economy went bankrupt long before our financial one. Business people are like sharks, not just because we're gray and slightly oily, or because our teeth trail the innards of those we have eviscerated, but because we must move forward or die.

To the economist embezzlement is the most interesting of crimes. Alone among the various forms of larceny it has a time parameter. Weeks, months, or years may elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. Under these circumstances the rate of embezzlement grows, the rate of discovery falls off, and the bezzle increases rapidly.

Money is watched with a narrow, suspicious eye. The man who handles it is assumed to be dishonest until he proves himself otherwise. Audits are penetrating and meticulous. Commercial morality is enormously improved. The bezzle shrinks. Personal finances are like people’s personal health, crucial and tragic to the sufferer but tedious to the listener.

Those who say don't know, those who know don't say . Leverage is a term that makes us sound very sophisticated and wise when we use it. Let’s analyze what it really means. Ignorance is bliss, except when it hurts . There is no romance without finance.
