A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

America isn’t a country, it’s just a business. That business minded model for society has drained all decency out of it. The US is a kleptocratic, psychopathic, oligarchy that has rotted out the brains of formerly decent people who have become the monsters we all see in stories like these. It will take multiple generations to fix this, if that is even possible.

It's three businesses in a country sized trench coat.

Your ~~brainwashed~~ mesmerized grandparents and their lazy non-voting baby boomer children let Reagan through the door in no uncertain terms, and in that environment the 80s "hostile corporate takeover" and junk bonds fever set in; with bottomless greed as the virus, which like herpes, seems to stick around forever.

EDIT: a word

Lazy voters stayed home and let Trump in. (With a strong assist from the Democratic party.). That's not what happened with Reagan. Reagan had incredibly broad popular support. I don't know if that's more or less damning of American voters, but no amount of additional turnout would have saved Carter.

It's not a psychopath. It's a sociopath.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

It's both.

Most CEOs match all the criteria for psychopathy or sociopathy

You're just wrong. Psychopath is just a less skilled version of the same damn thing. They don't make it CEO's except that rare instance of inheriting the wealth. Then, sure, we get a great example of it like Elon. But then they're just that.

As a diagnosed sociopath you have it completely backwards.

You would say so wouldn't you?
