Near-death experience
of RobComm CEO causes legislative change of heart
Shirley McLaine, Associated Press, September 20, 2000
Computer
enthusiasts, university professors, economic commentators and other
smart, creative types were on edge yesterday when the news struck
Wall Street: CoreySoft Inc. has introduced its latest line of products,
“The Fun-o-Matic series.” Oh,
and RobComm CEO Rob Mitchell is also reported to have suffered a
near-fatal hit from a yet unknown driver.
“His
recent jump-start into a political career seems to have been straight
off a cliff,” CoreySoft CEO Corey Garriott commented in one of his
frequent wry moments.
Sadly,
with his recent disappearance from the senate floor, Mitchell’s
legislation to outlaw various companies has been amended, re-amended,
changed, vetoed and finally passed looking nothing like the original. H.R. 371, the bill which was to outlaw CoreySoft operations, now
outlaws any business starting with the letter ‘Q’ on days which
end in ‘Z’ if the autumnal equinox occurs on a blue moon.
“That’s
not to say that I’m not sympathetic to Mitchell (may God bless his
soul),” Garriott continued, “but gee, what a poor time for a hit-and-run
driver to smash into the poor guy. You’d almost think it was planned. By the way, I have recently purchased stock
in RobComm’s subsidiary Kill-Co.”
It
is ironic that this comment comes on the night of Vince Ingram’s
failed lawsuit against Kill-Co.
Had Vince succeeded, Kill-Co, which employs such means as
structural failure and drive-by manslaughter in the assassination
business, might now be in the courts.
Many a CEO’s maiming might have been prevented had the rogue
company Kill-Co been finally taken down.
To
Mitchell’s further dismay (or at least he would be were he conscious),
with the recent disbanding of the FTC, CoreySoft may enter a new
productive age from the lessened taxes and regulation says economist
Milton Friedman. “RobComm
just laid off an army of accountants that previously worked just
to keep above the forms and red tape, but CoreySoft never reached
that kind of bureaucratic height, preferring to remain smaller,”
he stated in his latest current analysis.
In
finance, the tech sector has hit new highs today with new that the
RobComm monopoly may finally be breaking up without the use of antitrust
legislation.
