.welcome to the frontier of capitalist investment strategy

[that fateful day in the high command]

madamm: ahhhh so much free moneyyy! waaaah so many buttons! pink, red and bluee! I press can???
underlings in unison: yes madamm!!!
madamm: ahhhhh what do these do?! -bang depress tweek depress prod depress-
underlings in unison: -shudder- errr yes madamm!!
madamm: ahhhh so fun! these send people out to shop for me! ooooh lets play supermarket sweep!!!
underlings in unison: -doubleshudder- errr yes madamm!
madamm: i want this, and this and this and this...i want rubber duckies...
single quiverring underling: maddaaam! very sorry sorry madaam! duckies all sold out...-poof-
madamm: how dare there be no rubber duckies!
underlings less one, improvising and in unison: madaam how about we buy some nice big ships instead?

that, folks, is how it all began...

.limbocity

tepid contentment a numbing state of faux,
each step kinders yet lacerates deeper,
the impending,
i hear it. it resonates. daily mocking
relief of pure intent.
autonomosity beyond my best.
if only i could flip,
the switches of thy soul.
but it is limbocity,
smile as i dig my hole.

.excerpt from laws of human resource management for corporations rule #1: make people work 9-5 or longer infront of 85hz computer screens worshipping powerpoint and excel in the midst of photocopiers printers fax machines in stale airconditioning that smells of chalk in cubicles that are square or rectangle with at the most two pale colours with doors that make loud beeping noises whenever they are unclocked because it makes the people most productive and builds greatest long-term shareholder value.
