John P. Capitalist
I'm staking out my little corner of this area.
For the nones, I'm a former Wall Street money manager, with a strong focus on tech stocks. I survived the Internet bubble in the late 1990s, when the market went almost as crazy as it is now doing over things like Bitcoin. Actually, I didn't just survive, I kind of thrived. Thriving on Wall Street requires that one be exactly the opposite of today's Republicans. You have to have good bullshit detectors and not be afraid to use them.
Way back when, I got a degree in English Lit from a West Coast university. The only jobs available for people who wrote their thesis on 14th Century poetry back then were 8th grade English teacher or Starbucks barista. Neither of those suited, so I became a software engineer in Silicon Valley instead. Sales and strategy consulting soon followed.
More recently, I've taken a job as a sales "fixer" for a large division of a giant high-tech company. I get called in by executive management to fix broken processes and improve analytical thinking so we can bet billions of dollars on future development projects and maximize our chances of making money one day.
Because of the fun we have demolishing bullshit in an amusing way, I'm proud to be a member and contributor here at Fogbow 2.0.

So, you work at the behest of the queen and the pope. Yeah, Yeah, I know you said former but once a serf to LIZZIE and FRANK, always a serf.

Re: John P. Capitalist
Thank you. Yes, two firms I worked for had London offices within the shadow of the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, so that proximity definitely makes me a slave of Bess and Frankie. Yes, I'm always going to be a member of their little world domination club, but the money I get from them is not nearly as much as the SorosBucks I get every month as a member of the unholy Fogbow/Big Pharma alliance.northland10 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:44 amSo, you work at the behest of the queen and the pope.
