The executives who make the decisions always blame the workers who carry them out when their decisions turn out to be not so brilliant (or even worse, brilliant because it enriches them, while impoverishing the middle class working people whose wealth is REDISTRIBUTED to those who produce nothing but own everything).
Reminds me of when Carly Fiorina was heading up Hewlett Packard. She screwed up so badly, that she was given a $50,000,000 “golden parachute” to retire, while a lot of my co-workers (who hadn’t failed at their jobs but were lower tier) were shown the door.
I was with one company that got bought out, and then three months later got bought out by yet another company. Our leader complained that he only got $15,000,000 for getting booted after 90 days.
We all know who this yugest example of this is, don’t we ? The Commander in Tweet who is quick to take credit for others success and even quicker to blame others for his own failures.
It’s all Lyin’ Hillary, Fake News, and the Democrats fault everything !
I will offer my periodic suggestion to those who think regulations are bad. Read Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. It is an early 20th Century novel about the meat packing industry. It is enough to put you off of meat for a month. That book is pretty much the single biggest reason the FDA was created. And that was just one industry. As others have said, greed will cut any and all corners to maximize profit without any concern about employee or customer safety.
The 60s generation who didn’t go to war got theirs and made sure nobody else would get any so they could keep theirs the generation that ruined America Take a Bow
Yes, there is in fact a crash coming for the entire US economy, and therefore the entire world. Again. For the same basic reason, unchecked greed and massive denial.

Sounds a lot like Eddie Lampert, who’s destroying Sears & Kmart, so he can make billions selling of the real estate!

Everything has to be put into “layman’s terms” for CEO’s. Their only expertise is ruthlessness.

It’s called the “Sociopathy Curve” & it’s remarkably prevalent.

Everything in moderation. That goes for regulation, free markets, capitalism, etc. Go overboard on any one of them and bad things will result.
