Forums - General - Definition change for Wall Street and CEO?

When I was younger. I've always thought that CEO's are people who are extremely smart and lead big companies.

It went from, "WOW! You're a CEO." to, "Oh... You're a CEO."

 

Wall Street. I thought it's some place where money is made when you're really smart. Some place for highly skilled people to work. It's like a paradise for workers.

It went from, "WOW! You work at Wall Street!" to, "I see... You work there..."

 

Over the years and events, I think I ended up associating Wall Street and CEO as greed and fraud.

 

You?

Agreed.



Just because you have an MBA from Harvard or Yale does not mean you still aren't a complete idiot.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

now now, be nice, they are respectable idiots. They at least worked their arses off for their degrees which is very commendable.

Finaly, you take a shot at Obama. It was only a mater of time :p



You are applying that logic incorrectly. You can be X and not be Y. And you can be X and be Y. But just because you are X does not mean you are Y.

You need to go back and review conditional language and when something is sufficient or necessary within a condition.

In the US they teach kids that can barely read properly to run businesses. Pathetic.
All about hoping the kids become executives. My opinion is that if you just teach kids about today's Western culture, they'll turn out to be materialistic fools. Proper grounding in other subjects creates balanced human beings, which is exactly what didn't happen with these CEOs.

Lol, nice way to try and defuse the joke by saying that I don’t understand logic.

It was a joke. You should know what one of those is, you helped elect one.
