A recent article in Fortune magazine listed a few lessons that this economic crisis has taught us that we'll eventually forget. Kinda funny, kinda sad but def true:
- Economics is a bunch of bushwa. "Now we know it. When things improve, though, we can expect them to be operating pretty much as usual. It's a living. And where would business schools be without them?"
- Wherever there's money around, there will be crooks. "Many of these crooks are well dressed. Often they are at the top of they're at the top of whatever game they are running."
- The rich are not like other people, i.e., you. "Sometimes everybody forgets that the game is designed to keep the powerful in power and the rich in their McMansions, and We the People are sold the idea that everybody can have his baby Benz. For a while everybody gets high on the idea that capitalism is a populist enterprise. It's not."
- Nothing lasts forever. "Nobody knows when the train we're on will arrive at the next station. Anybody who tells you they do is smoking something."
Basically, we know nothing and of the nothing we know nothing of-it will not last forever although sometimes it feels like it will...And I'm NOT going to be rich?! SMH
