Hey, Wisconsin, What Do You Think of Union-Busting Now?

19. Fuck the "integrity" of the game when it's about the MONEY!

Nearly ALL of American business is now under the control of people who are ONLY about the money ... and have absolutely NO OPERATIONAL interest or aptitude. These are NOT "craftsmen" ... just 'crafty.'

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Thorsten Veblen described the dichotomy over 100 years ago ... the dichotomy between the 'engineers' and the 'money men.' Folks engage in enterprise either because they're focused on the product or service (i.e. operations) or because they're focused on making meny (and don't give a shit WHAT the business does to get it). When the 'money men' take over, the business starts to deteriorate. General Motors is an example ... with Roger Smith. Smith was all about the money.

The insane thing about it is that the money orientation is destructive of the very enterprises that are sucked dry for the money. That's why it should be called "vampire capitalism" instead of "vulture capitalism." The money-oriented are blind to this if only because they have a 'zero-sum' world view. For them to 'win' they believe others must 'lose.' Thus, their enrichment from controlling an enterprise tends to always result in destruction .. and the impoverishment of others.


The NFL is a monopoly exempt from anti-trust laws. If you don't like the product, there's no other game in town. (Literally.)
