You are speaking my language here. For years I have been saying we have all the wrong people in charge. We prize the worst qualities in people while having contempt for true quality. From business to government to non profits, with a few exceptions.
We need to make our own organizations not run on the profit motive alone, it’s the only answer. Socialism will not come in government, but those ideals can be ingrained in corporations whose motives are not the profit motive alone.
Nice little business you got there, thriving. Would be a shame if private equity bought it now, wouldn’t it.
We need to do something about the fiscalization of fucking everything before we start giving human rights to greenbacks.
We are in a society that has fallen prey to a memetic money religion and wishful infinite returns thinking.
