Always good to read about the success of a fellow Texan.Quote from EMRGLOBAL:
How's that capitalist system working out for y'all?

Well, lets see Smart Ass. I make up my own hours but love my "Work" and I tend to work more than I ever have in my life...but break it up with trips to the dog park, to the coffe shop....keeps the day more interesting.
I will break figuers this year, not scene in my career as a Trader or working for a "Private Equity Firm" as a "Team member", making other people wealthy.
I work from my Loft (Home for you subburb folk). Moving into my new Loft in Austin Texas Jan 2011....
I am an LLC, so next year will only effect me if I pay myself out 6 figuers plus as a salary, which I will not do if taxes are raised. I'll run everything legally that I can through the LLC.
So far Capitalism is working well for me. It's the Freeloaders, Liberals, Big Corporations, sheeple and not so sharp people that will bear the brunt of this Depression.
True Capitalist are changing, adapting, and making money.
Even if this country goes the way of France, Italy, Greece...True Capitalist will adapt and make money. Hence, the Final Chapter of Atlas Shrugged...

Quote from noob_trad3r:
That older lady who tried the lowest job of county clerk would not get hired at a fastfood restaurant. I know someone who owns a few franchise locations and he told me they would not hire anyone from that episode. He prefers someone graduated from High school or attending college.
He says folks like the ones in that episode are more trouble than their worth. So they are not gonna get hired by McD or BK if they applied.

Plenty of success in Texas among many of the "Transplants" like me my friend. I was a yankee but now a "Damn Yankee". I'm not leaving this state. I feel for all my fellow East Coasters who have to struggle against the Liberal/Socialist-anti wealth, anti business movement that has taken over.
My hats off to the "True" Texans who never did give into the Bullshit liberal Ideas. Of course there are cities like Houston and Austin who allowed the Liberals a little say. But I don't mind as they control nothing and they are fun to debate!
Quote from denner:
You seem well intentioned, but really, we KNOW you live in Texas, we KNOW you used to trade at Shoenfeld, we KNOW you work in Private Equity...that was established 1000 posts ago and re-introduced in every post since then.
No need to status drop every chance you get, try just throwing some content in for content's sake and be done with the grandstanding.
There was a movie where they killed older guys, by dissolving them in a creamy hot solution.Quote from Mayhem:
A. They all seemed to be 50+ in age
B. They have a sense of entitlement
C. Most of them appear to be in poor to OK physical condition (they aren't going to have the hustle to run from the drive-thru window to the warming rack with the speed and dexterity required)
D. They all seem to think we are going to turn some kind of corner and the $200k jobs for stapling-new-cover-pages-to-TPS Reports is coming back.
E. Each one of them is secretly wishing for Obama to give them another extension on their unemployment payouts
F. None of those people are economically viable, and they need a whole new outlook on life and new expectations and a new work ethic if they ever have any hope of becoming economically viable
Quote from Mayhem:
OK, credit where credit is due: The guy tried something. I just can't believe he was a $200k/year executive before the crash. This guy should not be involved in making any business decisions.
I feel sorry for his son. One hopes the kid takes away some lessons and a work ethic from the experience. Still, if the kid wants to go to college instead of the military, there are ways to do that. Oh well, mother nature is cruel sometimes.
