WP-09-Diplo [Adam Smith]: Mergers and Acquisitions Date:Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:30:43 +0000 To reply, log in at http://www.websofpower.com/?Page=Login or use your newspaper form. Direct email replies do not go to the sender. (This is intended to protect the privacy of other players.) ====================================================================== The Dead Capitalists mourn for the lost soul of capitalism. Back in our time, we lived for profit, but when we blew it, our companies went bankrupt and were sold off to stronger owners. Today we fear capitalism is dead. The big bankers are happy to keep their profits when times are good, but when they make huge mistakes and lose money, do they fold up and start over? Sadly, no... they take your taxes and give themselves nice bonuses to boot. Not too long ago this was known as corporate fascism... Privatize the gains and rob the taxpayers to pay for the losses! Despite this setback to our goals of freedom and prosperity for all, my Invisible Hand still governs human behavior, and the time has come for us to strike back. The cybercorporation known as Firmament, and the monolithic corporation known as Bilbo, are our first source of profitable mergers and acquisitions. Energy and agriculture being vital to human industry, we are pleased to be strategic partners with Sunshine of Field of Flowers in this endeavor. Sincerely, Adam Smith of the Dead Capitalists: Keynes, Friedman, Rockefeller, Mellon, Carnegie, Galbraith, Rothschild, Edison, Bell, Eastman, Farnsworth, JP Morgan, Tesla, Vanderbilt, Hill, and others to be named.
