OMG! This country is being run like a CORPORATION!!!

[DaveJ]

Many have observed that I have an special knack at stating the obvious....

I'm not really too good at starting threads. Actually I'm much better at ending them.

But here it goes....

Didn't our fearless fascist leader at some point say he was going to run this country like it was a corporation? I'm fairly sure he did. Anyway, look where it got us. The way corporations are run, is each person is considered a modular work unit. Their individual qualities, talents, and limitations are ignored. I'm not saying ALL corporations are bad. In theory they should benefit society, but now that profiteers run the show, nothing matters except the very top shareholders.

Notice that above I included 'limitations'. We are not all spectacular, but this fake society tells us we have to be just to get by. As a result, not a lot of us are getting by very well... How many people are prepared for retirement? How many people really feel financially secure? How many people have decent health benefits? The point is we are good only for as long as we can put out, and many of us don't have what the corporate leaders want, so putting out isn't enough, so all we have left to do is work until we can't work any more... then, nothing.

Well, there you have it. We are left with a nation of peasants. Nobody really matters. We are all considered automatons in what was once a society.
