This American company has gained 777% the old-fashioned way: selling junk in backroom deals.
As regular readers know, I am a Ford man.
Back when I was a kid, you had to make three really important choices. First, you had to pick a political party. Didn’t matter how well you knew the candidates – you picked a party and that’s what you were.
We are talking Democrat or Republican here. Libertarians weren’t much discussed, and backing the Socialists could get your parents blackballed at work. And if you wanted peace around the dinner table, you just went with the same side your folks did.
Second, you had to choose “your” baseball, basketball and football teams. We didn’t have…

An episode of particular interest to me is the long tussle between France and England during the mid and late 17th century.
Make more than 300% when the world wakes up sick come winter. There is a myth in this biz that “if it bleeds, it leads.” The idea is that what truly makes mainstream media moguls happy is guts, gore and conflict. Drama sells, and sells well. Death, war and sex sell even better.
The shell game is one of the oldest cons on record. Greek historians tell of ancient Egyptian slicksters stripping rubes of spare coins in the shadow of the pyramids. We have concrete evidence dating back to 1670, wherein Richard Hull writes of rogues cheating farmers at “thimblerig” at ye old faire.
