Is there something in the water? I work in a cut-throat business, but damn, lately people have gone insane in my business and in the business world in general. I just got off the phone with a friend from college that lost $150,000 in a business scheme created by a mutual friend. Without showing my age, I’ll just say that we have known each other for a few years. Drank together, both of them were there for my marriage, and my divorce. We’ve loaned each other money back and forth. And now from nowhere, nameless friend #1 outright steals $150,000 from nameless friend #2. And then, they both call me to complain about the other one. And oh yeah, he had tried to get me into the same business scheme, so I would have been out the same amount. The whole thing smelled fishy to me, so I stayed out. Glad I did. And this is happening all over the place. The world is getting worse every day. Makes you wonder what they’re putting in the water these days.
