I'd take 400K to pay the house and cars off..
But that's it... Everyone has their price...
And lets face it; thanks to guys like Messers Shoenmaker and Shantibaba, anyone can get seeds of any genetics....and do what ever they like with them. Kinda the downside of a market economy..
Nothing wrong with getting rich. Hell, who doesn't wanna have unlimited cash. It's how you get there, and what you do when you do, that tells the tale. 50/100 years ago, money didn't necessarily buy happiness; nowadays, it certainly doesn't help that even a shitty can of coke is almost 3 bucks now... Money might still not equal happiness, but it does equal electricity, and petrol, and rent...
Monsanto/Big Pharma/Big Oil/Big Fast-Food... It's the shareholders that are the key; not the consumers, not the R&D guys, not the investors, and certainly not the original producers of whatever commodity we're talking about... Look at coal in QLD.. (Or gas in VIC) My coal. OUR coal, Grizz.. Most of it ends up powering other nations TVs; half the profits go to mostly-foriegn-millionaire-shareholders, the other half is wasted on various government admin bullshit... But we; we who OWN that coal by birthright, pay the second or 3rd highest power charges in the world.
Our coal. Your gas is the same. All of it sold to the Chinese. No issue there, but we have to pay full international-market rate.. We are the only Nation that doesn't save a percentage of its resources for its own citizens consumption.. Can you believe THAT shit? So we pay whatever the companies want us to pay, cos the govt doesn't care about us. Only their retirement plan. Even Turnbull turned out to be full of shit, just like the rest..
You know our fuel prices are set by a Treaty signed by Menzies?? And look at how much software costs here.. We're so far away that even digital products are harder to deliver!!!! Believe that shit????? All the Senate inquiries in the world won't cahnge the fact that the sahreholders need to paid first. Even when most of them don't need it anymore.. The small "Mum and Dad" investor bullshit they spin is a myth. They make up like 5% of all shareholders...
Whew. Sorry. Got carried away. But don't get me started..! If I had money, I'd build a tilt-panel house with a basement grow area on 100 acres somewhere, get a couple horses and bikes and get the fuck away from all that bullshit....
