Ain’t that the truth. Helps if you were born into the right family, as well. No talent needed, just cash to succeed.
The biggest con ever made was those that do the least convincing those who do the most, that those that do the least deserve more money, because of a title they gave themselves. Be it King, Queen, Czar, Duke, CEO, etc. etc. etc. doesn’t matter. In all cases these are the ones that do the least, but take the most. I laugh when I hear the justification for CEO’s taking so much out of a company, too often lately at the detriment of a companies liquid finances, because they shoulder so much responsibility. I’ve yet to see any of them jailed for being responisible for poor safety standards resulting in harm to employees. I’ve yet to see any of them held responsible when cashing out stocks at inflated stock prices leaving the company bankrupt. When they pretend to take responsibility, they almost, if not always, find others below them to blame and fire from their jobs, while resigning with over inflated golden parachutes, often in the tune of millions to reward them for their failure. Millions that would be much better spent on employee wages and healthcare. Nothing makes someone more productive at work, than having a good paying job with benefits one doesn’t want to lose.
Give a CEO too much money and they have nothing to lose from poor performance. Especially, if they are going to be rewarded regardless of their performance.
Have never watched “reality” tv shows—life is too short to waste it on that dribble & idiots out to make a buck. I understand that due to the gullible folks that watch that trash, that the “reality” folks make a ton of $$$$$ and made Andy Cohen a multi millionaire.
In 1967, while in the Navy stationed at the Naval Air Facility, El Centro, CA, I got so upset with my higher-ranking coworkers that I wanted to machine gun them all. Eventually I was sent to a psychiatrist at the Naval Hospital in San Diego. He asked, “OK, and what do you want us to do?” I replied: “Let me out of this chickens**t outfit.” He said: “We can’t do that…and your feelings are perfectly normal.” So I stuck it out. Shortly before my enlistment was up at the end of 1969, I was called in for a reenlistment pitch aboard the USS Bennington, a WWII aircraft carrier about to be mothballed. The lieutenant commander told me to enter his office, and he said: “I know you hate the Navy and won’t reenlist but I have to tell you about the benefits if you do, so sit down and shut up.” I did, he talked, he asked if I wanted to re-up, and I said no. Then left. Not long after, heading down the gangplank for the last time, I saluted the flag then gave the middle-finger salute to the ship. And that was that.
And CRITICS, oooh, the dreams of devouring their hot, steaming entrails as they take one last look in horror and then die before saying, “poorly executed, uninspired, unoriginal…”

Ain’t that the truth. Helps if you were born into the right family, as well. No talent needed, just cash to succeed.
The biggest con ever made was those that do the least convincing those who do the most, that those that do the least deserve more money, because of a title they gave themselves. Be it King, Queen, Czar, Duke, CEO, etc. etc. etc. doesn’t matter. In all cases these are the ones that do the least, but take the most. I laugh when I hear the justification for CEO’s taking so much out of a company, too often lately at the detriment of a companies liquid finances, because they shoulder so much responsibility. I’ve yet to see any of them jailed for being responisible for poor safety standards resulting in harm to employees. I’ve yet to see any of them held responsible when cashing out stocks at inflated stock prices leaving the company bankrupt. When they pretend to take responsibility, they almost, if not always, find others below them to blame and fire from their jobs, while resigning with over inflated golden parachutes, often in the tune of millions to reward them for their failure. Millions that would be much better spent on employee wages and healthcare. Nothing makes someone more productive at work, than having a good paying job with benefits one doesn’t want to lose.
