That’s obvious. That’s not my point, and respectfully, as I’ve said before, you have a semi-elitist attitude and think you’re educating people or that you’re above the fray. What you’re doing is a bunch of word salad to obscure the fact that you are situated in corporate America and are uncomfortable with it being victimized. You’re more comfortable acting as if corruption and avarice is a passive activity that one just finds oneself in than the result of individuals at the top who purposefully decide to maximize profits irrespective of the cost. What you fail to realize is that you’re making my point. People are inherently greedy and will look out for self-interest and that is what has occurred over the past 40 years on corporate America. The very reason we need tougher regulations is because there is no such thing as acting in good faith at the top. Our institutions reflect the values of the power brokers in our society. Those at the top have invested heavily to destroy anything that can regulate them. They aren’t passive individuals. They are creating the rules to govern themselves. You think they hire lobbyists for no reason? They donate to candidates for no reason? No, they are actively shaping the environment for that corporate behavior that you speak of.
you're doing a lot of projecting here, i participate in the conversation as it comes and i have the views i have...no one is here to educate anyone as most people here have very well-informed, or at least well formed, opinions.
i give zero fukks about corporate america, this shyt aint some shyt i love, it pays my bills and i keep it moving. i have no problem with pointing the finger at corporate america, my post did just that. but it points at the institution - the one that says maximize profit. of course people will act accordingly to do that and when you don't enforce any controls or present laws that people can easily circumvent, then you end up with broken institutions.
there are corrupt actors, but the issue is bigger than individuals. if you got rid of jeff bezos today and replaced him with coli poster X, they're going to do the same shyt jeff is doing if they are to deliver on what the corporation, and that role, is tasked to do. so fix the system, and therefore check the actors. of course that comes with replacing people, but it also comes from an overhaul of washington - term limits, money/lobbying - and the laws that come from washington.
love this woman.
