there is epic, heroic, perpetual, struggle (difficult combat or fight)
there's all this convoluted excuse
they can have it any way they want - they can do things any way they like
they have no long-term plans, concepts
they have no money
they just want to fight people who call them short
they live down mines
they're very proud of their holes in the ground
they've decided they run the goddamn world
they've got money coming out of their ears - they're really rich
they've had 23 years to get this right
they've had too much time
