The Company Opposed to the Individual.
What can I possibly say about our privileged and packed corporate over class we’ve all felt but never seen the likes of. I have no proof of malfeasances or leading actors for this play, nor can I find a hero for the cause of breaking up this monopoly of our time.
Where is our Huey Long, Teddy Roosevelt, perhaps our Inspector Clouseau? Caught a little Steve Martin this morning.
Can you be of some small service to your country? I believe you can. Take the opportunities as they arise, expose the criminals as the people without conscience or principle they have proven themselves to be. We inhabit the very fiber of the corporations that enslave us. Exposed to the light of day all bullies fall when confronted by their victims, en mass.
So lets seal it with a kiss and get to work. Question authority, buck the system, we are not powerless in our lowly lives. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Rage, rage against the machine that chains and binds us to the wheel.
Yes, an Inspector Clouseau, a Steven Colbert, or a Phoenix Woman.
We can dream.

AMEN!!!!!!!
We just dropped a $75K per year contract because the client was a raging idiot who demeened anyone who worked for him or with him. Just to show how “annointed and appointed” that he was, that G~d smiled on him but not on those who worked for him. Because if G~d smiled on the lower of the barrel, surely they would be rich too.
So we dropped out main source of income to go back to a ma & pa business that will only make half of that a year based on current forecasts.
But to have the peace of mind at the end of the day is the greatest reward.
Meanwhile this wanna-be profit (er, prophet) will have to find someone else to work 18 hours a day, jump when he says jump, and design graphics as if we were a production-level Van Gogh conveyor belt.
This happened on Thursday, and we aren’t looking back.

Pirate Radio, got to love the sound of that.

It’s more like Virtual Pirate Radio being that it’s not being broadcast on a public radio band, just via internet. I always liked the idea of Pirate Radio ever since the movie Pump Up the Volume.

I commend your group, Utah Pirate Radio. Sooner or later we all have to ask ourselves just who / what am I in allegiance with? (pardon my syntax). If the answer is: Those inclined towards modesty and peace - not only do we get a little karmic breathing space, but that nasty, shut-out ‘client’ may also get a clue about his or her own greed driven misdirection.

The Pirate Radio thing is just a hobby. But we have 12 different website’s that we do business services with. We don’t make a lot of money, it’s just me and my wife. We started our companies so that we could be home with our children while they grow up.
But we have gotten some good clients.. The last one, while he paid very well.. He was a complete asshole..
Quitting that job wasn’t hard.

Corporations have civil rights under a dubious law, live forever, and count your votes.
Have a nice day!

I got a serious E-Mail from “The Free Press Action Squad” about legislation that will make internet radio much more costly. Have you heard anything about that?

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I had not heard of it before.

LOL, I found out after we left this company, that their big deal with Walmart fell through.
Ironic. They screw us, then Walmart screws them…
