My Cure For Wall Street

My cure for the total irresponsibility and short term money grabbing of the so-called executives on Wall Street and similar places would be to put the whole load of them on a desert island with enough food for each to have a subsistence ration for 6 months. Then go back and bury the bodies later, as they will no doubt have grabbed and eaten most everything after the first month, then fought to the death for whatever remains.
They truly are just like children.

Pathetic Performance From Those Who Are Supposed To Be Leading.

It is interesting that the higher in the employment scale individuals go, the poorer their performance seems to be.
They surround themselves by 'yes-men' (or yes-women) and insulate themselves from reality.
Individuals in public office are the worst.
We have no doubt all seen politicians at opening ceremonies of their pet projects. Surrounded by those full of praise, they make acceptance speeches for the congratulations given.
The reality of course is different. They are spending the money of those giving the praise. Not only that, but the money of those who are not there, as they are disgusted that the tax money has been spent that way.
If questioned about their performance, the usual ploy in to go incommunicado. They are extremely good at not being able to answer simple questions, such as, for instance, a person who is from a department of food inspection and enforcement will never respond to the question of how many food establishments have had enforcement notices issued against them in the past year?

Interesting.
Take the same behaviour to Wall Street level, and the obstruction becomes even more complete.
