There must be a rich divorcee running around Hollywood/LA somewhere looking for love too.

I want to meet Mahlagha Jaberi, she is 30 years old, she is from Iran but now she lives in San Diego, California, and she is a model, and I think that she would be good as an actress too. She looks like a Disney princess, she is beautiful.

https://www.instagram.com/MAHLAGHAJABERI/

As a producer I could hire her to work on my films. Or, as an actor maybe we can work together, for instance, maybe we could both act in an upcoming "Star Wars" movie, or something like that. And I suggested her to a buddy for an upcoming music video.

We can waltz around the world having fun, and we can help orphans, and we can do lots of good things.

We could get married, have kids, and build an empire.

We could be the kind of power couple who dines with the Pope.

And we could buy the house where I used to live in Malibu, And we can have homes in Italy, and around the world.

If you are going to dream, dream big.

Salute,

Tony V.

A beautiful, 30 yr old model?
It's my observation that such women would be looking to marry a very rich man, the more handsome and well-connected the better.
I was thinking more along the lines of someone attainable, say a rich "no longer 30" gal looking for a toy boy who's not too young.
An "I'll sign a pre-relationship agreement so you'll know I'm not a gold-digger" line might work.

I am a trained actor...

First I attended AVC and received an Associate in Arts degree.

Then I attended the AADA.

Women love actors.

And I am a screenplay writer, and a poet, and I am trying to be a film producer, and then I want to invest in a winery, and a night club, etc. 

Like my buddy Jon said, I can get the hot women after I succeed.

And I am not a gold digger, I already have my own movie script, and my poetry book, once I get going I will have my own money.

Like my Mother says too, my woman and I can make money together as a team.

We will see what happens.

When I find the right woman everything will work out.

Salute,

Tony V.

Love is strange. Who’s to say what’s possible?

Tony, in the old days rich people’s charity was overhyped. The damage and misery they caused by accelerating their accumulation of wealth and power at the expense of the vast anonymous majority of their contemporaries was, as much as wealth and power allows, swept under the rug.

They had big rugs in the old days.

Still do. Just ask Jim.

Capitalism is an economic system.  When we turned it into an ethos and a measure of the value of civilization, that was pretty much handing things over to the shoulder devil. 

Tony, if you find a woman who doesn't give a shit about money, you've found one of the real ones.   Take up archery and then impress her by shooting apples off her head.   This is also a good trust builder!

Priceless advice.

Salon, and so so true.

No shit?

Just who is “ we” and when did this happen?

Let that one sink in for a minute.   
This from a poster who considers economic growth akin to a cancer.

It would be more accurate to say Barton considers wealth accumulation at the expense of workers, customers, those who reside in proximity to a enterprise facility or the human friendly homeostasis of the biosphere to be cancerous. He’d agree that capitalist enterprises can be run as holistic positives, and many are. He also thinks smart regulations can make many businesses less cancerous AND more successful.

Then again, I know this because I read and understand Barton’s posts. There aren’t many around here who believe you really have the ability to do either of those things.

The other day I saw a quote attributed to Teddy Roosevelt on that.
Something like:
All the charity of the rich cannot come close to matching the harm and misery they've caused accumulating such wealth.

I'll need to look for the exact quote and check if it's really TR, but sounds like the kind of thing he said.  He railed against great wealth accumulation and how exploitative and distorting it was.  The (1st) Gilded Age and all that.

Between Tony's ambitious sexism and Bambu's venal misogyny there is not much to choose from.

Tony, "get any woman you want" sounds all to similar to Donald Trump's philosophy.

The tired dotard
Has tottered terribly and
Teed up his tumble

Fired girl Friday
Stopper out the drain
Filth spews from the tub

If the whole country
Becomes his swamp, individual
One might escape the Russians

A drop of filth from the spew,

Thanks, bro.  He also misquotes me, out of context, so i suspect it is a willful inability.   The strawman is easier to knock down, for him.

You deny comparing economic growth to cancer?
