"Make a million $$ in a few minutes of work each day"...good idea???

[AntonHeat]

are you [censored] ing kidding me? no way this thing is real. 1 mil up front ha, you just take that money and bail bro

[Cornell Fiji]

I actually think that this is a fairly good post.

Unfortunately the NIT responses that you got in the thread:
"OMGF this can't be real" were not funny at all and just added filler to the thread.

Don't get me wrong, this is no Allegory of the Cave, but it isn't too fare off of an analogy for every day life. Most people have a job that sucks but has its benefits (short work/day vs Cal Ripkin continuity) and most people are sold on "$1 million dollar salary" when they are really making only 50k a year.

I do not think that the Oat carying job is worth 50k a year but then again I am short and have little arms which would increase the frequency that I burn myself. I am also a night person and 4:30 am is pretty brutal. I would need a bonus upwards of 10 mil before I even considered taking the job.

There is no way that I would have the job for 21 years but the posters in this thread who mentioned that you could live off the interest on your investment had it right. Pretty much, I would take the job as the price for a 1 million dollar loan.

I am a skilled investor and I am confident that I could pick some good stocks to make a quick buck on which would allow me to quit the job early. An added benefit is that I would be able to do market research after my oats carrying was over and would still be awake when the markets opened. If I made bad investments at the start then ... well ... there is always oats running

What kind of new cutting edge company makes profit from paying ppl to move enormous pots of hot oats?

If this is a 'serious' question: this is not a good deal at all. Perhaps $47k/ann is a good salary for you now? Perhaps. Do you think it is such a good salary in 5 years? 10? 21? Hardly.

I don't see what this is an analogy for if you are trying to be clever.

If you look at it, $47k a year is not your annual salary over 21 years... Roughly 93k is, if you divide the mil up among the 21 years...

Better question is, How is this guy not getting starred for this and the stupid onslaught posts... ?

I really hate having to defend my honor, but here are some quality threads that I either started or have a lot of posts of mine which sparked good discussion that I got from a quick search of the past month's topics:

Ok, so what you are saying is... You should skip the stars and just be banned from OOT for life. That about right?

Assani,

I think this and the onslaught threads are silly, but I really don't understand why people get so worked up over them.

Note that for future Onslaughts, there is a forum dedicated to things like that - "Puzzles & Other Games." They already play Mornington Crescent over there, so I imagine they will love Onslaughts.

If the deal was $1,350,000 up front I would start packing right now, move to Yuma, and do it! Any negotiating room there?

Why $1,350,000, you may ask? I believe the OOTers do not want a certain topic discussed here so I will just say that being rolloed at 25x for the $50,000 plus $4,000's would tip the scales for my willingness to run boiling oats on a daily basis.

For a measly under-rolloed $1,000,000? No way!
