Must have forgotten to say "thank you"

Just don't go looking for the etymology of "vanilla"

I see "too big to fail" most commonly referenced when talking about the GFC of '08-'09. Nothing there happened because big players bought out smaller ones. Lehman Brothers wasn't even big, comparatively speaking

Why? There's nothing inherently bad about acquisitions

In fact, strong (~free) capital markets in which acquisitions happen frequently allow for more efficient (~optimal) allocation of resources over the long run, even if any single acquisition may not be locally optimal

While I appreciate the sentiment, surely that is not the reason why we should wish acquisitions to happen or fall through? There's something to be said about solving for maximum societal welfare—which may or may not be the case here, but in any event doesn't depend on any specific individual

I'm recording this, because this could be the last thing I'll ever say

The city I once knew as home is teetering on the edge of radioactive oblivion

A three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire

I'm not sorry, we had it coming

A surge of white-hot atonement will be our wake-up call

Hope for our future is now a stillborn dream

The bombs begin to fall and I'm rushing to meet my love

Please, remember me

There is no more

False dichotomy much? That is not an argument against the parent's observation per se. One can imagine a culture that is organized, not hollow, and not only for the rich

Who said anything about comparing?

But now that we're at it, would you prefer to compare yourself to the bottom 1%?
