But if your business is based on turmoil, strife, and war, we live in a wonderful and ever so profitable time. I make no bones about it, I love having the things I have, I love not having to worry about what things cost, and I love being able to do what i want, when I want in the way I want because turmoil puts money in my pocket. War is a beautiful thing and one of the more profitable aspect of business. Yes, the majority of people will ultimately be hurt by war especially when the bills come due, but since I'm the one collecting on those bills, war is profitable so, fight away - Fight Away!
