Reply #24: That is true, until outsourcing came along. [View All]

Look at the 50's, it was all happy happy buy buy buy. Go to college, get a great job, support a family, go into debt and die. There's only one problem, you can't go into debt if your job gets outsourced to Bangkok, because you won't have any money.

I was quickly on my way to becoming a blissfully unaware anesthestised middle class sheeple. I really really liked that. I was feeling secure. Age 20 and making 16.54 a hour doing something I enjoyed with full benefits. Then due to outsourcing and the resulting tech crash I got to spend about 14 month on unemployment. Before getting a shitty job as a cashier at a hardware store where they fired me so that they didn't have to pay benefits.

Now rinse and repeat with the rest of the middle class often enough. You will soon jolt them into reality, and that's when the revolution begins. Business ethics were created by the rich to keep the rich in power. When the rich became overly greedy and violated those ethics, not having any respect for something they've never experienced. They have paved the way for a major social upheaval. Business ethics will soon reign far and wide again, if business as we know it is still around after the dust clears.
