Brave man paints outside of building

Maybe. There is some truth to your feelings, if we were to stick to inconvenient “facts”. :wink:

No specific US business organisation exists to “market” US business ideas to the world. So on a strict reading, I was engaging in hyperbole. However, I wouldn’t have to convince anyone of a certain age that in effect the US business scumbags aggressively market their ideas though. Self promoting books and speaking tours, “professors” writing economics text books and looking for markets, etc.

No doubt there is guilt here too, with greedy scumbags being too eager to suck on that rancid teat.
