The Most Brilliant Business Idea... EVER !!!

You ever wonder why 3rd world countries are exactly that... 3rd World? Some have legitimate claims to lack of resources, but some work really hard to keep from developing.

Today's Target: Zimbabwe

President Robert Mugabe, campaigning for upcoming elections, has signed a new law requiring foreign- and white-owned businesses to hand over 51% control of their operations to blacks, state media reported Sunday.

Oh, that's, uh, pretty cool. So you get to have your business owned in majority by some random because you're either white or the business is foreign-owned?

With that line of thinking I think President Mugabe could be elected Memphis' "Mayor for Life" should he ever decide to come stateside.

I'm also sure many Democrats are like "now THAT'S what we had in mind with Affirmative Action."

BTW-- I'm not sure how I'm gonna get t/ today's posting without generating a flood of emails accusing me of being a backwards thinking, cousin-poking, hillybilly, redneck.

Basically, Zimbabwe is retaliating against British rule and the racism brought by it. Fair enough, take back your country fellows. But there's a downside, right?

Since the government began ordering the seizure of white-owned farms in 2000, production of food and agricultural exports has slumped drastically.

Oh, so clearly the program works... NOT.

If it's true that the people of Zimbabwe have been oppressed by British rule and have not been afforded the luxury of things necessary to run a business like education or job skills THEN WHY THE FRAK WOULD YOU TURN OVER YOUR BUSINESSES TO THESE PEOPLE?

Perhaps it's because you're a short-sighted, hateful tyrant who can pass such stupid laws because it's a popular idea among the masses-- I'd love to get something for nothing, too; especially if it's 51% of someone else's business.

In fact, I call dibs on FedEx when da man starts dividing up Memphis businesses to the minorities (white people are the minorities in Memphis BTW).
