Ad absurdum

CNN reports "General Motors' outgoing chief executive Rick Wagoner is eligible to receive more than $20 million in his retirement package, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission."

Let me rephrase that: $20 million bucks for running GM to the ground. Let's see if he takes it.

Oh America, you are truly great. Just not fair.

You see the pattern, though, reader? If I worked at a big firm right now, let's say a phone company for example, my goal would be to get to the top, borrow huge amounts of money and buy out every other company, give phones out for free, employ 30 million Americans... voila, too big to fail. Then, it's simple: f*ck the company up. You're guaranteed to receive more money than 10 generations after you will need!! Sweeeeet! Oh, don't forget to sing "America the beautiful" in the process.

Seriously, though, you know what we call this in developing countries? Corruption. Here? "Benefits!" Tis truly absurd.
