Around 2000 or so the Global Crossing and Level 3 communications CEOs had to testify before congress about a similar scheme involving leasing fiber optic cable from each other that went unused.

But it did let both companies book lots of revenue to their balance sheets, and made it look like they had more of their networks in use than they actually did.

It was largely unreported in the news because it happened at the same time as the Enron fiasco and was just deemed unethical rather than actually illegal.

Their "Rules" demand that they tell us what they're going to do; how they do it can be sneaky, subtle, hidden in plane sight, or in your face; it's up to us to figure the message out and apply it... It's' coming fast, and it's going to be pure Hell.

It's not rules that require it.

It's arrogance that encourages it.

Peterson, more or less -

They say money cannot buy happiness. And that is true. But what they do not say is that money can significantly reduce misery. And happiness and misery are not opposites. You cannot EVER be happy if you are miserable. Ever. But you can absolutely survive for decades if you are NOT miserable. You can even be happy, at times. Capitalism is the only system that allows most people to not be miserable. All other systems falsely promise happiness, while doing fuck-all about misery.
