feelthedarkness Posted January 17, 2016 i never play the lotto, but i ALWAYS put money in the office pool when it happened, because i can think of few worse (non-criminal) nightmares than all those assholes winning and me having to go to that job the next day.

Zeusthecat Posted January 20, 2016 There's a secondary vein that runs through Americans that amounts to, "I should be able to get rich with little to no work". In American mythology, you can see it present in things like the California Gold Rush and the Oklahoma Land Rush (both of which actually took a lot of work, but still include the idea of a rapid reversal of fortune). In a more modern setting, things like discovering oil on your property fits the same idea and how ridiculously successful get rich quick schemes are in this country (successful in terms of making their creators a lot of money). My get rich quick scheme that is guaranteed to work for everyone is for every person to start a get rich quick scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
