"We're not going to get the best and brightest to work in corporations
anymore."

A. As if they did, and,

B. If they were the best and brightest, how come the companies they work
for collapsed?
They don't work usually.
It's all part of a network of good ole boys, sorta. They get each other
on corporate boards and scratch each other's backs. They appoint a CEO
based on their ability to reward each other. The CEO will get millions
or whatever shares of stock and options jets etc. One of the frist items
on their tickets are golden parachutes and bonuses etc. Very rarely is
their fortune contingent, on making money, for Companies, certainly not
Employees.
No one owns anything on Wall Street. They use status to buy huge shares
of stock on huge margins and operate it to get the maximum short term
gain and sell off the carcus. They export American Industry to other
countries because they a re allowed to use the whip, so to speak, pretty
much as they wish on wage slavery, the environment, and control the
economy. They minimize their costs and risks and sell back to Americans
at the same or higher margins. Meanwhile we are told we should develop a
service or economy, and prosperity will follow. It is all a load of bs.
We aren't making wealth but are still having to spend more for basics
and everything else. It is a rape of our economy. Pretty soon we will be
depressed to a lowest common denominator with places that have no
resources or capacity or are ruled like Mexico. Mexico is a place where
they should have a high level of prosperity but a few very wealthy hold
the power and money and to hell with the rest of the Country.
That where the Globalists are herding us. All the money in their hands
and everyone else on the planet serving their needs. Welcome to the
global plantation. It is not about sharing America's prosperity with the
world It is about America sharing the poverty of the rest of the world
for the benefit of a hand full of Globalists.
