.:CC (Cool Capitalists) Immunity

The Power of Cool 
From Barack Obama to Mark Zuckerberg, cool buys exemption.
By Victor Davis Hanson

Last week 28-year-old, $17 billion–rich, jeans-clad Mark Zuckerberg took Wall Street for a multibillion-dollar ride, making his original buddies instant billionaires and his loyal larger circle millionaires. Note that there is no Occupy Wall Street protest at Facebook headquarters. Just as there are none at Oprah’s house or the residence of Leonardo DiCaprio, despite their take each year of between $50 and $100 million.

Steve Jobs found ways to dodge taxes comparable to those deployed by any Wall Street fatcat, but he was iPad cool, and so his iPhone billions were exempt from the Occupy nonsense. Cool capitalists are immune from the neo-Marxist critique of capitalism...

So You Have A College Diploma

If your parents then threaten to exile you from your aboriginal homeland unless you get a job, try getting hired back at that Subway you worked at in high school. Remember Jason, the guy you used to smoke weed with in the Subway parking after work? He kept working there while you were in college. In fact, now he's District Manager, so, hey, maybe he can put a good word in for you.
And if that doesn't work out? Hey, big deal. So you're being crushed under a mountain of debt by a cold heartless anti-intellectual world that refuses to value your highly-honed cognitive skills and handsome diploma. The answer is obvious: get an even bigger diploma.
