Words to Live By

"I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far."

- Joe Walsh

My favorite lyric of any song. It simply relates to me so very much. So much so that I deemed it thread-worthy.

I guess you guys post lyrics on your facebook too...

It's because it wouldn't look too good on his linkedin page.

Family business--the great entrepreneur got his job because of his relatives?  From this thread:

FreeEnterprise wrote: I am, my family owns a large commercial printing plant.   I also own a hand bindery services company, a fish tank maintenance company, a graphics company, a vending company, and buy and sell stuff through ebay and craigslist.   Oh, and I have a private paintball field that I run for my friends, and farm over 20 acres of hay which we share with our cattle farming neighbor, and use on our horse farm, while selling the leftover.

The bolded statement in this post from this thread could have contributed to the confusion.

FreeEnterprise wrote:   yeah, because I can make you cry on the internet, my customers wouldn't like me...   Actually, my customers love me, I deliver their projects ON TIME, EVERY TIME. And I never charge them more than I quoted. And I get them quotes in less than a day, and I have the fastest turn around in the area, by far. When I make a promise, I always deliver.   The difference between my company and my competitors is many of them have gone out of business during these tough times... I'm still here, and will continue to be here, just with less employees until things turn around.    We also won the Best of southern region award for the past three years in the PIANKO (Printing Industries of America).

Or this one from another thread.  Bolding from this point on was something I added to highlight relevant stuff.

FreeEnterprise wrote: Oh, well, I didn't realize your mom was reading my books...   Come on whale... give me a break. Why would I make up numbers?   My printing company is one of the largest in Butler county Ohio*. I have customers all over the world... We are not a "copy shop" quick printer...

Another one:

FreeEnterprise wrote: I would be glad to debate you on this, but since you can't keep from besmirching my character at every opportunity, I choose not to.   Unless you wish to apologize, and then we can move on...   As far as your argument...   Exactly how am I as a business owner going to pay for the added cost of cap and trade to my costs when I currently have a profit margin of less than 3%...   I can't "increase" my costs to my customers, as they are already going over to china now to buy their large printing projects... <Truncated to save space>

*I found this statement kind of amusing in retrospect. . . it's kind of like saying I own the best business of the kind of business I own of anybody that lives on my block.

Lolwut?

Word. I completely sympathize with you on this one. I've never understood why someone would post song lyrics on their FB page as a way of conveying something.

Although, I don't have the same disdain for the lack of moral character in music like you probably do, so I might be getting annoyed at something else

Honestly, if FE had a superpower and someone to push his image like you just did, "Free Enterprise" could be a bland, genuine superhero or a potentially hilarious satirical figure with superpowers.

Get on it, Glenn. I see a graphic novel and movie franchise in your future if you can do it.

Alas, FE is not in my network.
