Re: I'm also curious what these people (none / 0)

actually DID to become billionaires in ... where ... Communist China? Were they given authority to oversee construction/start-up of a string of factories with instructions from the government to get the job done, become wealthy, or else?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: I'm also curious what these people (none / 0)

Twank. Since its Fat Bearded Guy In Red Fur day or something I have a request: Could you please drop the "Re:" when editing the Title? It's very confusing.

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.

Re: I'm also curious what these people (none / 0)

Sorry, didn't know. I don't think I'm the only one who does that, or am I wrong?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: I'm also curious what these people (none / 0)

Oh Oh Oh! I get it. It's OK to edit the title but lose the Re: also, which for some reason, I thought was ... something. I'm there. Got it.

Hey, after 2 years, I'm still learning.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
