In the 1980s, we were taught, thanks to Gordon Gecko, that greed was good. When the 21st century came around, it took corporate America a few years to realize that concept was an actual working model and it put a lot of careers to an abrupt end. Mine too. At the time.
Of course I managed to find a way to carry on as have many others. For too many though, they have had to take on several jobs at once just to make the ends meet. Lives have been disrupted and a good number have had to find a way to make do with what little they have just because someone felt it necessary to have a new car from a bonus paid when the bottom line had to be met at the hands of workers who were making the money for someone else.
A sad and vicious cycle indeed. All at the hands of a generation of people who believed what they were told in the 1980s. It it gets worse. There is a generation amongst us that honestly believe the world owes them something just because they showed up. This group of entitlement people are the ones who are about to be in charge. But will they be?
Take a listen to what I have to say on the subject and see if there is any hope for our society.

Until then,
Stay tuned...
