Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room

Saw the movie the other night...

All I can say is....HOLY F$%$#'in COW

If you're a high-blood pressured liberal tree-huggin' hippee, unless you like heartattacks, don't do it

It's unfortunate that a lot of people that see the movie will instantly make a connection that all business is evil but I think that'll be a direct understanding of their knowledge of business in general.

Highly recommended and be prepared to watch a web of total deceit untangle before your eyes...

Business are legally bound to be money grapping ****s. Breaching the law is obviously not allowed but with lots of money you can bend the rules a distressing amount. It's just in this case they fucked up.

It's not a case of fucking up as much as they had no cash flow.
As decribed in the movie, they were a 'black box' that spit out revenue numbers everyone believed.

Business in general is IN business to make money. Why wouldn't they? Who the hell goes into business to loose money??
