Ocean's 11 vs Goliath



Enjoyed watching Oceans 13 again. I also enjoyed Oceans 11. Oceans 12 not so much.

They all had the same main set of stars – George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon along with the rest of the crew.


Ocean's 13 vs the Casinos

Naturally I found myself on the side of the thieves. I wanted them to win and I wanted to be on their team. Why? They exhibited a team comradery that few workplace teams experience. They faced impossible odds as many of us feel we face. More importantly, they challenged the establishment as many would like to. This band of thieves tackled the biggest casinos in Las Vegas.

It’s easy to perceive the Las Vegas casinos as bigger and more powerful thieves. They make the rules and they win most of the money. Guess why the mob embraced and developed Las Vegas?

George Clooney and his gang take on the casinos. It was the David and Goliath battle.  

Many of us would love to beat the big corporations – the banks, phone companies, cable providers, airlines, grocery stores, pharmaceuticals, credit card bandits, insurance firms, oil companies and especially governments.

Click Here to Show that You've Read and Agree!



We want to make life easy for you so first read these 29 pages and 10,000 words. Then click that you have read, fully understand and agree with everything we’ve said.


That's what I faced when I signed up for online banking.

I wasn't inclined to read those 20 pages of legal sounding phrases.
I didn't want to pay a lawyer to explain them the me.

So what do you think I did?

Yep, just clicked and ignored all that legal talk. Who every reads that nonsense and who every understands it?

You know that they plan to screw you anyways.
They can afford to pay their lawyers much more that you can imagine.

So you plug your nose against the stench and jump in - and hope that you don't sink.
