| So a quote from 70 years ago, shortly after WWII. Important time for returning to something like normalcy after the war. Put our boys to work. But every publicly available statement made by a CEO is PR. Like it or not. Not always done with that intent, but usually with it in mind. Sure, the impact to employees has been felt more recently. But the attitude has been there before they were companies and employees. Kingdoms and subjects, plantations and slaves, whatever the case may be. Very old. This is just the latest skin. There’s always those parties that go against the current. So to respond to your CEO reference, I’ll throw out a more modern one. I’m having to go on what little I’ve gathered from the media, but Dan Price seems like the real deal. Even with what I said above. Can’t know, but the look is good. I buy it. I want to believe, even after learning I shouldn’t. Good companies can exist. Good people exist, and can lead companies. All of which can serve society, and benefit all individuals. “Can” isn’t enough. And there are far too few that ARE. |
And your example reinforces my point. There is a sickness that spread from the Reagan era, but recognizing it is crucial to treating it.
