these are extraordinary times for
business & we’re making more $
than ever.
but we need the flexibility to reach
beyond the normal conventions to
sustain our growth as
long as possible.
exceptional wealth is no accident.
it is the product of disciplined
planning & substantial
self-interest.
(the more we have, the more we...)
want to destroy our competition at
all costs.
this is a revolution & we
are the bolsheviks.
our job is to move cash fast & keep
all we can. we play to win & it isn’t a
game of chance.
we cannot tolerate loyalty, or sympathy or
any such signs of weakness. tradition is
no more than a tag line. what
laws we don’t ignore, we
change.
to cut all
impediments to profitability––
this is our goal & our
holy objective.
you say we have no conscience––
obviously not, it slows down
quick decision-making.
we don’t have time to train the
young; we’re not interested in over-
paying
the old.
look, if your goal is an efficient economy,
you’ll have to get people out of
the way.
if we have to keep them at all, why can’t
they be temporary like bingo markers
so there’ll be plenty around & we
don’t pay for what we
don’t use.
we know what's good
for society––
person-eating computers,
outrageous profits &
unlimited personal
success, for those who
earn it.
There is no substitute for complete
control.
