Of course, it's not like our corporations/businesses or the wealthy that run them have any feelings or shame, so I guess we'll keep on failing and act like everything's killer.

You know how much everyone's life is brightened at the news of a long-term-unemployed person's employment? You see the glow from such news and the tears of joy that flow because the person doesn't feel worthless and frustrated any longer? It's an utter crime and a disgrace that we judge people's worth by how gainfully they're employed.
