    this is why I have resigned from the last three “successful” organizations I have worked for… while financially successful, random observation of each (and all three were in different sectors) clearly shows ineffectual and faulty methodology that continues, ‘because that’s what works’…
    I guess you could apply this also to the Human race: we shouldn’t be producing so much emissions and be nicer to poor folks, meanwhile, humanity continues along, , and the leaders say “look at the progress” - farcical in the micro, farcical in the macro

    I agree, we shouldn’t be nicer to poor folks.
