I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And I wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change.

So what can you do?

Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

I'm a hot dog chef with over 20 years of experience. Credited with inventing 274 hot dog styles. International awards. World renowned and industry figure.

My entire team, very competent hot dog experts, was laid off after a hot dog cooking machine could do what took us 3 months, in just one day. I've been out of a job for 12 months. The reason? All hot dog making has been offloaded to Claudog Hotdog. "Sorry. Hot dog manual cooking is a thing of the past", one recruiter told me.

I'm working as a software engineer as we speak. I keep applying to hot dog related positions but I get no interviews. Even positions significantly below my pay grade and skillset. No one is hiring. Hot dog cooking is over. We are entering a new era.


You just need to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and start your own artisanal hand-grilled hotdog food truck.

Well, there’s your problem. Get back to making the hotdogs!


I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hotdog today (if you want to get a circular investment bubble going)

Do you sell hotdog options? I want some hotdogs at a guaranteed price, but only next week. (I just want upside exposure)

I'd take these options from several companies (all selling hotdogs) and wrap them up in Collateral Hotdog Obligations which I'd then offer to investors.

I will sell you hotdog default swaps. Even if I lose, I win.

Is a synthetic hotdog default swap considered vegan in Cali?

If yes, my ESG fund is interested.

Collateralized hotDog Obligations made up of MBS (Mostly Bones and Sawdust) would be a financial product I could sell to institutional investors!

I suppose a discount code is effectively a hotdog option.

I build bicycles. I was shocked when our internal team built a bicycle that goes to the moon

We are afraid to release it to the public! And thus we are shutting down the company. We don't want humans polluting Moon and the atmosphere and space!
