"Business is business, it's not personal."

OK, Laurie Bream...

Culturally, thankfully, it seems the negative outcomes from this attitude are on display right now. Mainstream life is very partitioned, dissociated, maybe. I think of my parents who can't stand BLM protests at football games because "there's no place for politics at work." #metoo is somehow related here, too.

The walls are coming down; I believe we need to take a more holistic approach to life to truly survive, succeed, and thrive. I'm sorry if this sounds a little scattered to the more thinking-oriented type, as I'm more of a feeling/intuitive personality myself.

I'm explaining this to myself as much as anyone else, but the end-result of "Business is business, it's not personal." is AI / Machines continuing the business at the expense of all human employees resulting in massively efficient business and corporations that slowly congeal into a single mega-corporation that does all products end-to-end, and then attempting to sell these products to the humans who no longer have any money because none of them have any work to earn it.

Heyyyy, it's just Business. Capiche?
