On a less serious note there’s something that’s been irritating me for quite a while in retail, more and more merchandise is packaged with the words limited edition plastered over them.

For me it’s because they are all trying to make people think their aim is to make the world a better place but all they really want to do is make money.They are telling fibs.

Wealth creators should have carte blanche.
Yes it is.
One example - Woolworths Supermarkets continue to say - “We feel your pain”
whilst posting a $900 million 6 month profit result.
