Spiders in the Office

Having a corporate headquarters is not a requirement of the meganational’s existence, and the rule of law governing corporate activities ceases to be applicable once they declare their independence. The headquarters could be moved to an island, or to a ship, or even into a satellite in space for that matter. Even the location of corporate executives is a separate matter from the rule of law governing the company.

When it comes to money, Meganat already has its own form of currency – Meganat stock. They could choose to monetize their stock in a way that could be used for paying salaries to employees and for making vendor payments. Employees, as an example, may get 13.8 shares of stock on payday rather than the equivalent amount in Corona dollars. The Intermarket is already programmed to convert money from one country’s currency into another, such as Atlantic Union’s ‘atlo’ into SG federas.

With a little effort, Meganat could design its own market that would instantly convert its stock into spendable currency. So employees, living in any part of the world, could make purchases at their local grocery stores.”

Way of the Dog

“The life essence of loyalty is an unbroken promise.”

“The life essence of loyalty is an unbroken promise.”– James Tucker


Way of the Dog

~James Tucker

In a world where promises are sometimes made lightly and broken with ease, the true essence of loyalty shines brightly. It is in those moments when individuals stand by their commitments, unwavering and resolute, that the strength of loyalty reveals itself.

When we make a promise, whether to a loved one, a friend, or an organization, we are investing a piece of ourselves—a part of our integrity and character. Promises should not be taken lightly, for they hold the power to shape relationships, build trust, and define who we are.

An unbroken promise is a testament to our reliability and the depth of our loyalty. It speaks volumes about our commitment to honor our words, even in the face of challenges or temptation. It demonstrates our willingness to go the extra mile, to stand by those who depend on us, and to uphold the values we hold dear.

Loyalty, nurtured by an unbroken promise, creates a sense of security and stability in our relationships. It fosters an environment where trust can flourish, allowing individuals to rely on one another with confidence. When we honor our promises, we build bridges of trust that strengthen the bonds of friendship, love, and camaraderie.

In a world where change and uncertainty are constant companions, the life essence of loyalty can be a guiding light. It can anchor us amidst the storms of life, reminding us of the enduring power of commitment and the significance of our word. Loyalty reminds us that we are not alone—that we have allies who will stand by us through thick and thin.

Let us strive to honor our promises, to be people of integrity, and to embody the life essence of loyalty. By doing so, we not only enrich our own lives but also contribute to the security and prosperity of our communities. Let us build a world where our word is our bond, where promises are kept, and where loyalty thrives.

Remember, an unbroken promise carries the weight of our character and shapes the fabric of our relationships. Embrace it, nurture it, and let it guide you on the path of loyalty, the ultimate currency of a little thing called power.

RINTEXX DOWN

“This is what THEY want. To continue shackling us with death and taxes. The destruction of Rintexx is evidence of this. They wiped out a commercial breakthrough in stem cell technology that would have made death less certain and now THEY are mobilising to clamp down on any school of economic thought that has the potential to make taxation unnecessary.”

Corporaterrorism

“The counterterrorism measures of the past were set up in a vain attempt to thwart a phantom or at best, a scattered enemy. The proverbial terrorist threat that was supposed to threaten our way of life dissipated as the global economic downturn let loose a different breed of bedlam and carnage.

Political terrorism never works; it only serves to galvanize your opponents to behave even worse.

Economical terrorism has proved different. It actually works. It has rendered anti-terrorism laws ineffectual and has frightened off even the most unscrupulous of media moguls. No one talks about it. No one dares do anything about it.”

Rule 14: MONEY vs. LOYALTY

Power based on money is very easy to achieve. But once you have it, it can easily fall apart. Anyone can be bribed. Mistrust, greed sets in, bang, you’ve lost your power.

Power based on loyalty is very difficult to achieve. Nobody ever trusts anybody or even really understands what the term loyalty actually means. But on the other hand, once you do establish your power based on loyalty, you can become… invincible.

‘How would they claim legitimacy?’ – Goonsville

They’ll start by lobbying as many nations as they can. Small ones at first, the ones that would benefit from such a deal, get them to recognize them as an autonomous nation.’ – CYFERON
