"Lucy, you got some s'plaining to do..."
I was presenting an alternative view to the "corporations as evil
giants" on the planet.
I do work in one of the said Giants. As a grouping the people I work
with fall into all of the categories of society I have ever met.
Of the 1% of the 1% my personal theory on it I believe I posted
before. Corporate society is designed to tell the people working in it
to allow their superiors to worry about any and all moral decisions
and then it promotes those who show the least interest in moral
decisions.
The dross *I* am more concerned with is thousands of Nuclear Missiles,
cruise missiles, patriot missiles and the billions of dollars being
spent on the Start Wars project. Whatever you choose to spend your
money on is your business.
When brick toting idiots start throwing their missiles at me and my
colleagues because the tax we pay allows them to not have to work to
meet their daily needs I can see that the question has many faces.
<As a society> we allow corporations to exist. People who are more
concerned about driving a Four Wheel drive and living in a big house
will take a job contracting. People concerned with being covered in
case of illness, having a pension when (if) they are older will take a
permanent job with a successful organization.
People make the choices. I was caricaturing the people outside the
corporate grouping in the same way that the original post caricatured
the corporations. Caricature works by exaggerating notable features...
Of the people who can/do I am not able to say if they are born or
made. What I can say is that corporations are full of them. Far more
of them than those corporations need or the useful work that those
corporations might have for them. It is a sad state of affairs IMO.
"Did they get you trade, your heros for ghosts"
