Optimum Cockbag Levels: "The First Honest Cable Company."

Actually, Kerry Stemler doesn't know what any of "it" is. Which doesn't stop him from transforming inadequacies into faux scripture.

Since the notion of congenitally empty suits like these planning for 1897 makes so much more sense than 2025 (dude, this "conversation is beyond bridges"), I was laughing too hard and for too long to do any more than publish the link and two of Bluegill's tweets.

High expectations for Hoosiers: Indiana planning for 2025, by Braden Lammers (N and T)

Indiana’s Chamber of Commerce has developed a long-term, comprehensive, economic development plan for the state and spent Tuesday presenting it to business and government leaders in Southeast Indiana.

Outlined in the chamber’s plan were four main goals: bring and retain talent to Indiana; create an attractive business climate for the state; create superior infrastructure in the state; and create a dynamic and creative culture in the state.

One Southern Indiana's economic ideal is revealed.

The trick for 1Si is to recruit members who will pay to be a member of an organization that actively subverts their own economic interests, so as to identify with peers and then "network" themselves into extinction -- not unlike the Republican Party in political terms.

Hmm. There's not a connection, is there?  Can someone ask Mitt Romney and the US Chamber of Commerce?

Oligopoly (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

An oligopoly is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists). Because there are few sellers, each oligopolist is likely to be aware of the actions of the others. The decisions of one firm influence, and are influenced by, the decisions of other firms. Strategic planning by oligopolists needs to take into account the likely responses of the other market participants.
