This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Who profits the most from such schemes? Credit card processor companies. I believe they're trying to trick us.
I have friend that said it 13 years ago. If you wanna be rich, make yourself the middle man. You can try to open a public company, market it, find investors, and hopefully you'll eventually run a profit and the stock value will go up. Or, you can be an investor making money by buying stock that provide good dividends and go up in value. But, the best position is in the middle exchanging the stock. You don't have to convince others to invest and run a company that is successful when competing with others. You don't have to investigate and guess which companies will be profitable while competing with millions of other investors, banks, and AI. Nope. You just sit back and relax while people fight each other on the battlefield field you created.
Those are the people that make it. They insert themselves in a situation where others fight but they win regardless of who else wins.
Which is part of our bigger issue going on right now. People know that being a middle man that takes a cut is the easy profit and everyone with enough money to try is doing it.
Who is powering all those transactions? Big Electric trying to stop paper and stone from making a comeback.
Why use stone when we have very good teeth and fingernails? Big stone wants to make us week. Not big big stone, which we can't lift unless very strong, but big little stone.
