the text message i received from a kid after telling him earlier today at school that i thought business was cool

“i was just wondering what interested you in terms of business. Wish i could get paid for thinking, but sometimes its a bit harder to do than just think.’anyways, noticed that Fannie Mae has $538 billion dollars outstanding, wonder when their going to pay that off. Probably *cough never cough* because that would mean tying down some of their LIQUID ASSETS, and who in the world of money would want to do that? (especially…say…hm… the baking industry where they make their money off money(loans.)) Starting to see how the world of money works? They made a killing in 2009 during the housing market crash on foreclosed houses, revenues spiked 429.2% between 2009 and 2010(that’s a large number in case you didn’t notice) and they jumped from rank 81 to RANK 5 on the Fortune 500. Yep, i think you see how the world of money works”
