Jack fails to mention that a considerable amount of wealth in the world is inherited wealth. How much ambition does it take to be propogated from a rich seed? Look at your rich friends. How many inherited large sums of money from family? (At least those who will admit to it). How many started with nothing? How many would have made it in their line of work without family connections?

I get the impression that Jack is a state-sanctioned CEO puppet. The ruling class decides who becomes a billionaire and who doesn’t today. Look at all the uber-rich telecommunication companies that willfully handed over their confidential customer account data to the NSA with a wink and a nod. Did you notice any resistance? I didn’t. And had Snowden not popped up none of us would know the better. 😉

Had Jack gone into politics as opposed to IT I bet he would have made a wonderful ‘community organizer’.

And China likes to use Jack as window dressing for billions of their restless peasants as a model that says “if he can do it so can you”. False hope and social order are 2 branches that grow from the same tree.

An informed 5th grader knows that in China one don’t make it unless he pays huge bribes, courts feckless government leaders and jumps through buring hoops of fire for corrupted political cronies.

As long as Jack can feed the peasants with illusions of ‘hope’ he’ll remain a superstar.

The kids these days couldn’t care less that we’re bombing other sovereign nations without any legal international authority or that we’re in the process of arming terrorists in foreign lands with guns that will eventually be used against us and our own allies. All their attention is focused on the whether the new features of the latest iPod or iPhone will allow them to tweet faster, or whether their applications for more student loan money got approved by Uncle Sugar.

I’ve seen the United States of America at it’s very best. Today I see it at it’s very worst.

Hey, if the kids don’t care what my generation is doing to theirs – why should I? One can only blame ignorance up to a certain point.

These internet sites are swill in a garbage dump found bottle extolled by the no asset, young and dumb momma boys living in basement apartments.

Be very very careful. A good truck last for twelve years. A good tech gadget is junk in two years!
