The Age of the Quick Fix

[Remington]

Sir Remington, you are absolutely correct.  Now I just need to get off my ass and solve the banking crisis.

My resources are an internet connection, more computing power than I really need, a small bookcase of comics and textbooks, access to professors well versed in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, philosophy, and religion, a loose social network who's only redeeming quality is that they don't drink to excess as much as everyone else on this damn campus, a drawer full of cutlery, and some bottles of juice.

It's GO TIME!  Now, where do I start?

It's really quite simple, GA.

1. Internet Connection
2. Comics and Textbooks
3. Cutlery
4. ???
5. (Sustainable) profit


On a more serious note, getting off the ass comes first. Bigger stuff comes after that. We have to address the root problem before we attempt to cure the symptoms, and I believe societal laziness in general is a root cause of many problems. For change to be genuine, it has to start with us: trying to change bigger issues first or trying to institute top-down change is like trying to build a pyramid upside down.

I don't want to cure the issues.  I like my chaos.

Point.

He only wants all your stuff Roger. All your stuff and all your things, doodads, knick-knacks, paraphernalia and kitsch.

SHOOT HIM WHILE YOU STILL HAVE BULLETS.  

I can single-handledly lead you guys out of this, but I'll need funds to do it. Unmarked bills and direct money transfers only please.

Would you like monopoly money and a moustache to match your hat?

Some monopoly money would be excellent, but I already have the moustache.

That moustache has got nuttin' on Mr. Monopoly, and you sir, are missing a cane to be really real (tm) burgeoisie.
