The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 29, 2024

And to show it all off. Exhibit A: One of his bags of money sitting on his table.

He’s not only a selfish money-grabber, he’s also an arrogant prig.

Same thing in my book!

Rancid’s motto ….. “one for you, ten for ME!!!”

;-)

That is what he put on his profile.

If he had it all, nobody could by his product or service.

If he had it all, where would he put it?

Yes, well, you can’t take it with you.

Why do people think you’re a selfish money-grubber? Because you ARE a selfish money grubber!

He is a man of simple wants.

The moneybags don’t help either!

Looks like Chief’s stock is not doing so well? Only one bag of cash on his desk.

He wants more than the rest of the world combined. How Musky.

Quark on Deep Space Nine.

Aye yi yi .

So if wanting more than everyone else include some world’s richest guys named Arnault, Bezos, or Musk, than it makes me wonder who the guy who’s business makes ‘tea cozies’ can make more money than them?

Naturally.

Brutus you could always quote Ecclesiastes 5:10 to him.

“The love of money is the root of evil” notice the love of money not money is the root of evil

Well, bosses usually get more than the workers. But, Bossman Rancid, like most of today’s CEO’s, gets weeeeeeeigh more that his average worker.

:-)

even if it’s just a sent more… :D

And that attitude changes what? I must admit that his asking Brutus for that type of advice does show how much he trusts and actually “respects” Brutus. It actually shows that in spite of the Boss’s day to day treatment of Brutus, Brutus’s job is fairly secure. But l doubt if that respect will have much effect on any future raises in salary….

Because you are, Chief.

and it’s never enough

“Money implies poverty”

Wow! The Boss is confiding in Brutus?!?! And he is asking about how people feel about him??? Does this portend a kinder, gentler Rancid? Nah.

And thanks for the loaded question, Chiefy.

Plain fact of the matter is when it’s Rancid is history, like so many others, can’t take it with him!!!

The boss must have such a huge inferiority compels that he needs to have more money to convince HIMSELF that he is better than others!

I think he’s lying.

“He Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins.” from an ’80’s bumper sticker.

Which you already had 30 years ago.

The saying on James Bond’s family crest: “The World is Not Enough”.

Ha!

Asked and answered.

that’s the impression we get daily when reading about yet another dimwit who wanted more more more and ended up swindled out of hundreds of millions of yen, always by someone he or she had only “met” online. yesterday, it was a woman in her 40s getting scammed for 100 million yen. usually it’s old folks, leaving us asking why someone wealthy in his or her late 70s still needs to be trying to score big…

“Oh, gee, thanks for explaining that, Boss. Makes all the difference.”
