  Sunk Cost - Who's to Blame for...

  Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
   
   
    
  Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.

  YOU DESERVE TO HAVE POWER. 
  IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING. 
  GENE SIMMONS IS HERE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO THE TEMPLE. 
  Gene Simmons, KISS front-man, multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, and master of self-invention, shares his philosophy on power—how to attain it, how to keep it, and how to harness it as a driving force in business and in life. 
  As co-founder of KISS, America's #1 gold record-award-winning group of all time, Simmons knows the thrill and seduction of power firsthand. But gold records alone don’t equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon. 
  Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, and social media, to politics. With one-of-a-kind anecdotes from his life and career, as well as stories from historical and contemporary masters of power, including Winston Churchill, Napoleon Bonaparte, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordon, Oprah, and Elon Musk, Simmons crafts a persuasive and provocative theory on how the pursuit of power drives civilization and defines our lives. 
  The rules of power are changing in today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world in a way that Machiavelli never could have imagined, and we all need to learn to adapt. Simmons tells listeners: Ignore the negatives. Be unrelenting. Rise above the rest. You are the architect of your success.

  Nothing is really real, even if it is. 
  Everything we do is self-serving, even nice/kind things. 
  There is no objective right or wrong and anyone telling you otherwise is either a fool or lying.  
  All communications at their core are manipulations, and therefore, every time we communicate with another person, verbal or non-verbal, we are manipulating them. 
  Oh yeah, and life is fucked. 
  If you want to know more read the Goddamn book.

  Hostile Takeover - Aggressive...

  A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
  In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
  Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.
