Moore persuades his audiences by saying as a society; we tend to forget what the outcome is when big corporations decide to fire workers because the CEO wants more for their salary. Analogy, argumentation, and personal anecdotes are some methods Moore uses to demonstrate to his audiences. Moore uses analogy throughout his essay by comparing crack to downsizing by GM and big companies like “AT&T, and GE.” The CEO states, “A company must be able to do whatever it wants to make a profit.” This shows that any company will do anything it needs to do to make a profit whether it’s ruining lives or communities. Moore suggests that General Motors sell crack. “But Crack is illegal!” you say.

In the film Pirates of Silicon Valley, Bill Gates steals ideas for his personal computer from Steve Jobs of Apple. He then starts his own company Microsoft, which becomes very successful. This movie is a prime example of why greed is good.

They want to be able to trust the dealer in knowing that I got a good deal. At the same, the co-signer would want to be able to trust me in know that I will make the payments as planned. Co-signer is putting themselves out there fully trusting me. So, if I do not make the payments, it falls back on co-signer which could pose a lot of stress on both that person and me.

The use of temporary workers helps the business to maintain staffing flexibility and reduces hiring costs.
