Tractor trailers? Cargo planes? Gift cards? PayPal? Click a magic button and you got billions and billions in your checking account (typing while being 'helped' by a kitten is difficult).

1. I usually just have the help take care of it.
I'm more of a big picture kind of person and don't really like to get bogged down in details. If I remember to, I'll ask one of them how it is normally done.

2. It is mind boggling that 17.4 billion will tide the big 2 over for only..........
a couple of months. How can these guys burn through cash so fast?

4. Well you see...
There are obligations (which have to be paid) and profits (which aren't guarenteed).

Heres a leading indicator of how shitty the global economy is currently

Baltic Dry Index falls 93% as shipping rates plunge, signalling global economic collapse
