Entrepreneur Positions Domain Name Sale As $40 Million Press Release

  • 1 min read

University Research Corporation President James E. Midkiff is selling openingpage.com in an elaborate money making scheme for ad agencies and clients. Purely on the perceived value of a press release headline that might read, “XYZ Corp Buys Opening Page To Internet For Cash And Stock With Potential Value Of 40 Million Dollars,” Midkiff outlines how the sale of the domain in exchanged for an inflated stock price enable the buyer of the openingpage.com domain to see a return on $40 million in five to seven years. He also outlines how an ad agency could purchase this domain, resell it to a client and capitalize on an obscenely huge mark up.

Calling this purchase an asset to a company’s balance sheet, Midkiff’s logic assumes the value of owning this domain and promoting the purchase of the domain through PR will catapult the domain’s owner into the limelight and increase its value exponentially. Of course this logic assumes that every recipient of this would be press release is an idiot and unable to see it for what it really is – another money grubbing, Florida-based, sleazy money making scheme. Or, the whole thing is a joke and I’m the idiot.

People who knowingly stayed in the wrong marriage and built a functional life anyway develop a specific emotional resilience that comes not from love but from commitment operating independently of it—and that separation between love and commitment is something most people can’t fathom, but the people living it understand that a life can be built on something less than passion and still have value, still have warmth, and still be chosen every morning even when the choosing costs something

Research suggests the teenagers who entered manual and trade work in the 1960s and 70s developed a physical intelligence that modern workplaces have almost entirely eliminated — the ability to read a material by touch, to diagnose a machine by sound, to estimate a measurement by sight — and those skills weren’t taught in any formal sense, they were absorbed through repetition in environments where getting it wrong meant injury, waste, or public humiliation from a man who learned the same way 20 years earlier
