Sounds like a good idea. We should try it.

Lol, it reminds me of that 30’s Rock skit, the millionaire CEO Boss guy(I think he was played by Alec Baldwin) was demoted to the mail room, the lowest floor and every new scene he would be on a higher floor and had moved himself up on sheer work ethic alone until he was CEO again within a few hours.

Jack Donaghy was a millionaire, not a billionaire, I believe. And iirc, he didn't have seed money like many billionaires today.

He still believes in the traditional American dream and actually pushes back at Kabletown when they wanted to just collect their checks and not do any new initiatives.

He still exploits his workers, don't get me wrong. Though a lot of CEOs could learn a thing or two from him as he repeatedly showed that you need workers to make money.

Ironic that he's an actual fucking billionaire at this point.

And a zionist at that

Honestly it’s amazing that we have any poor left.

Ok maybe I'm stupid and naive, but just to check: was this actually in the show?

I'm 99% sure that it isn't.

This is my plan to colonize Mars: Send a billionaire. As a self-made man, he won't need a huge team of workers and costly infrastructure support to build a successful business.
