We Are Entering The Age Of "Full John Galt"

The CEOs figured out that government can be very useful in protecting them from competition. Why do you think big companies are in favor of the $15 minimum wage? it’s not because they want to pay their employees more; it’s because they’re big enough to take the hit and their smaller competitors aren’t. So they’ll increase their market share.

"Where is Galt’s Gulch?"

In the book Galt's Gulch was in the Colorado mountains.

Your Galt's Gulch can be where-ever you want.

Along with 1984 and Brave New World.

I can quit anytime I want, but have a part time job that is still interesting.

Even driving at night the “speech” didn’t make me sleepy.

You speak truth.

Can you please add me to that ping list?

Except 80% of the students can’t read

[Blood of Tyrants]

And 90% of them wouldn’t read a book that had more that 50 pages without pictures, either. I remember in high schools students complaining about reading Animal Farm, and it’s only about 100 pages.

Done!

You have FReepmail!

Not aware of an abridged edition, so we all have to try to digest 1200 pages of Randian madness. Take small bites and savor it is my advice...

Where has it failed? Cuba, Venezuela, China, to name a few. And the people pushing for socialism/communism? Usually white. “So what you’re saying is that it will work when you, the white man, does it because the “wrong” people where trying it before. You know, brown and yellow people.”

Great answer when dealing with a liberal - throw their garbage back at them. How can they deny it?

I was President of a company.

No one who was actually president of a company says merely "I was President of a company."

He says something like, "I was president, for four years, of a mid-sized power tool manufacturer - the third-largest in the Arkansas tri-state area. Annual revenues: $20 million. Employees: 159."

McAffe was Galt, they killed him.

Well I was President of a 200 person software company. Revenues were $70 million the year I left. I was President for around 12 years. You are right if I were in business circles I would have described it that way. I may have added that we had compounding 10% growth on profit for 10 years. I do have an elevator speech of what our product was and our industry, but I am not going to say that as it would be like giving my name and address.
