Would Bush make a good internet entrepreneur?
He's very enthusiastic ... he doesn't seem to know how to quit and he's full of unflappable vision and determined to see his vision through to the bitter end no matter how many billions of people try to dissuade him. And he keeps in constant contact with the folks around him which if you read, "How Not To Die" you know is a critical variable in eventual success.
- djonesx 19y agoI'm off Bush.
- pg 19y agoUnflappable vision is just the kind you don't want.
- rms 19y agoBush was a terrible entrepreneur. His success only came because of his family connections. He eventually ended up flipping the Texas Rangers for a respectable amount of money but I give him no credit for that. His current pursuit cannot succeed, unless his real goal is to keep the America continuously involved in war to generate money for private corporations. It's just sad that American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians are paying with their lives. On a scale of absolute evil, it puts Bush only a single order of magnitude below Hitler and Stalin.
- nostrademons 19y agoWell, if you're measuring absolute evil by lives lost, Bush is about 3 orders of magnitude below Hitler and Stalin...
- rms 19y agoHitler killed at least 10 million people with his genocide, but you could blame many of the 75 million WW2 deaths on him. Stalin killed at least 20 million, possibly closer to 45 million. As a result of Bush's actions, at least 75,000 died in Iraq and it's 650,000 as of July 2006 if you think the statistical study done by Johns Hopkins is accurate. I haven't read their study so I can't comment on their methodology but I am sure that the 75,000 number is underreporting the deaths in Iraq. Probably the number is somewhere in between. Let's go with 300,000 and let's say Hitler/Stalin level evil is 30,000,000 deaths. That's two orders of magnitude. It would be closer to three if you distributed the blame for the war across the entire Project for the New American Century.
- blored 19y agoBut they are still being mentioned in the same sentence, which is probably a first for any American President.
- yamada 19y agoAhhh ... but you're thinking of "traditional business" ... I'm thinking of a business where you don't need to make revenue and a large company buys you out because of your "strategic value".
- especkman 19y agoHe doesn't learn from mistakes.
