And that is a MAJOR difference between Japanese and Americans. They actually care about their fellow man, and most americans don't give a shit about anybody but themselves.
americans are born and breed to stomp the crap out of those they consider beneath them. then people make movies about how the little guy became a success and was so kind on the way up so people think oh hey i want to be like that guy. then they learn the only way you get to the top in america is by crushing some one else... people depress me sometimes (-.-)
American/Capitalist creedo: "Employees are the rungs on the ladder to success, don't be afraid to step on them." That's actually taken from somewhere else but applies....:/
I don't really see what you mean by how bad it is here...? America is not that bad compared to a lot of countries. We are 4th in the world in terms of HDI, only beaten by Norway, Australia, and the Netherlands. Not bad considering we have 14 times as much population to manage as those countries do.
No, you are right, the US does have a very high standard of living, ect. I guess my main problem comes from how out of control I believe capitalism has gotten here. This is just one example but...There was a law that was put into place after the great depression, called the glass-steagall act, essentially it limited how banks could invest the money they had. Well that got repealed (by Ds & Rs) and the banks proceeded to over extend themselves and we got the 'great recession' as it is called. It just makes me mad that we have examples from history and we keep fucking up in the same way. Also the US now has the greatest disparity between the rich and poor since the great depression, this is not good. I'm also kind of a socialist too. And if you've managed to read through all my rambling/ranting then you will receive bacon:)
I think this man is great and it is awesome that he does what he does. But would it be right to force CEO's to do that? I mean, I don't get that good feeling inside when I pay my taxes knowing some of that is going to welfare, but I feel pretty good when I donate money to charity. I love that man for what he does and CEO's should do that but I still don't think it would be right to force someone to do it.
For me the most impressive part is where his desk is, open space with the other employees??? Holy shit!!! I once had my own office, at a new place now and have to share, fuck that!!!
Yeah I don't appreciate people pushing it on me either. She is a mormon, so that makes it real strange, haha, or funny. As for me...I'm a person, although I've been called an asshole on more than one occasion, hehe;) (I was brought up absent any belief...neither religious or atheist) so I've just had to figure it out as I go along).
