Monetary Intimidation

I disagree with the statement that money equals power. I think that money envokes intimidation in many cases, therefore giving a false sense of power. Its one thing to have money and put it to good use and its quite another to gather money from a "good brand name" and spit out a shitty product. We associate cerctain standards with different brands, but it makes you wonder if we are covering ourselves with a security blanket by trusting these brands just by there name. Yeah sure, some brands have a good history, but depreciation does occur. So before dropping a lot of money, remain just a little skeptical. Do some research before committing.
