There are good and bad in every institution, anon. The question is what do good people believe is the course of action for them to do good?
What happens when it becomes clear what actions are actually leading to evil being done by said good people?
Frankly, anon, I have met few generations more collectively entitled and foolish than "boomers."
I've worked many different places and in many different roles. The "boomer mentality" revolves around the assumption that the reason something doesn't work is because someone else has not been working hard enough. I have seen these types try to schedule overtime to boost production when the machines feeding that production are at maximum capacity and automated.
When machines break down, you try to explain why it can't be fixed - it is old and parts for it are all secondary -salvage- markets, the problems occurring with it are due to wear that was never intended to be factored into the machine lifecycle - so there is no replacement process and you have to start doing things in the field that were done in specialized factories to keep it running.
They just accuse you of not working hard enough to fix it or the result of laziness.
Never, anywhere, has there ever been a boomer who was lazy or incompetent. It is always someone else's fault. Case in point, they handed out participation trophies to their children and grandchildren, pumped their heads full of faggotry and communism, then want to dismiss problems with the economy (induced by the federal reserve and the insolvency of collective welfare programs) as being the baseless complaints of millennials.
The centralization of capital wealth is a massive fucking problem for individual liberty and the sovereignty of "consent of the governed" ideology. Locally owned stores would be hiring security guards to force you to put a mask on? Probably not - but Menards sure will. They'll hire bootlick gestapo.
These large financial entities use their control over who they pay to control who succeeds and who fails and in doing so shapes culture and climate throughout the nation. Not just the government chooses winners and losers - the people who get to soak up all the government contracts get to choose who the subcontractors are. The rest of us fight over the scraps.
We are, and have been, a fully centralized command economy since the 1930s. The boomers were simply purchased as the industrial complex's vanguards by being allowed to spend the loans before the payments were due and conflate their material success with the fruits of hard work. They sold their children and grandchildren into slavery and many of them then sold their estates to strip malls and rental property tycoons to purchase overpriced nursing homes on a golf course or some stupid shit.
Collectively, worst generation in history.
Though there are exceptions to the rules and they didn't have the access to information to realize a lot of what was going on.
You will both find that my initial statement quite adequately addresses that "i know you are but what am I" level of retort.
However, I will say that I did look in the mirror and I found something quite interesting. You've lived thousands of years waiting for me and have entire institutions dedicated to what you claim to be the worship of me.
"Only a boomer would walk into heaven and start reporting their neighbors for misconduct."
A statement which defines the mentality of many who claim to follow me. Which is somewhat comical, but whatever. Remedial training has been assigned as necessary.
Money is not the root of all evil, but it is a metric by which the simple of mind and devoid of purpose measure their worth. A nation poor in spirit will, if nothing else, equate their monetary success with personal value.
It is important to note that wealth, in and of itself, is not wrong to have. However, the owner of the factory I work at makes 14 million per year and, rather than spend a couple million on expansions and employee training to deal with an expanded process, has opted to purchase sinks from china with obviously gimmicked pricing that are cheaper than we can source the raw material for.
A fast food restaurant I worked for made two million in profit a year with one lane for a drive through. To see the way management squeezed labor and fretted over who was clocked in, when, you would think the place was on the verge of failure. The customer was often in the way of an employee's job because of conflicting responsibilities (cleaning something and servicing customers) - something that conflicted with the original philosophy of the business/owner (but the people who bought it do not care about the business or the customer, just the profit the share earns them).
My complaint isn't in regard to pay so much as it is with overall conduct of business. We wonder where all the manufacturing has gone and then celebrate people who made a fortune by outsourcing to china at every turn as being business leaders. They are not. They are saboteurs and scavengers.
Projection.
You did not read what I said.
I am not poor. I have a skilled job, a range of trades, a home, and am the fastest missile the DoD has on record.
What you need to realize is that there is an entire generation that has been sabotaged in several ways. They have been taught few trades, have been given little opportunity to practice those trades, are competing against foreigners for employment (with inflated and even fraudulent resumes), where employment exists in the first place.
Factories in the U.S. are deteriorating into sweatshops. The factories in China? Many of them are ultramodern with fully automated production lines and state of the art facilities. We have to engage in warlord politics to get someone to buy a new machine around here. And training? There is no such thing. Get to work in 100+ degree heat with no training, no communication, and run-down equipment for people who will move a production run ahead of a pilot run and wonder why they scrap 95% of their lines for 2 weeks.
I saw that shit happen in real time. It was fucking amazing.
You're trying to teach me morals that are irrelevant because you presume I am saying that socialism is a good model.
When the king controls who can become a craftsman and the one to whom all taxes flow - then do not be surprised when the farmers hope their daughters are beautiful enough to catch the eye of one of his sons or to become a handmaid (concubine) to serve him.
The centralization of wealth is a sign of bad things to come. The more all people are allowed to work and succeed, the better society becomes. Rarely does the centralization of wealth come from an increase in total wealth of a society. It often occurs alongside consolidation of wealth - that is the purchasing of assets by the few from the many. Bonus points when that is done via fiat currency holding no intrinsic value.
What can be purchased on fiat can be reclaimed by fiat.
So what you are saying is that a free market society must result in people like Bezos being able to own entire media platforms and censor according to his taste.
You're a hundred thousand years too young to be arguing with me.
