And you are productive, which also is to your credit.<br /><br />"Let us be very clear why there's a seemingly leftist bend in corporations - the current generation of business leaders plain have no new plans or ideas."<br /><br /><br />Yes. They hate and blame their forbears, but cannot create or invent worth a shit by themselves. So, like the Executive Office, they have to be satisfied with stealing power and projecting endless resentments against their betters.<br /><br />The corporate issue runs much deeper tho, because it's collectivist organization and mentality are essentially anti-masculine. Corporations mimic female collective values, strategies, and policies, and as long as you place your trust and faith in The Market, in Corporations, and in consumerism/materialism, you will have female-ruled nations. With males (hello Barry O!) acting as their figureheads and enforcers.little dynamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380746207592226835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-29338524065613037002016-02-05T13:25:05.859-08:002016-02-05T13:25:05.859-08:00"And if you thought the Baby Boomers were bad..."And if you thought the Baby Boomers were bad business managers, just wait for these over-educdated, political-correct-crusaderist Gen X'ers to fully be at the helm."<br /><br /><br />And if you thought Boomers were bad, and Gen X'ers were worse, wait for the Millennials to take over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-72457953171955207812016-02-04T14:38:11.997-08:002016-02-04T14:38:11.997-08:00Interesting theory there Cappy and it might be rig...Interesting theory there Cappy and it might be right. I would like to offer a different theory --<br /><br />* A company offers the trappings of leftism cause it is cheaper to bow in the wind that fight the hurricane.<br />* A company embraces all of leftism because they are hoping for regulatory capture. <br /><br />The first case is fairly straight forward, a feint. 'Paying' their social tax to be left alone.<br /><br />The second is a little more complex. Right now the most direct way to clobber competition is to prevent it from sprouting. The best way to do that is to be regulated. (Phone companies are a good example.) Once a company or companies can afford 'K' Street assholes there is a big push to create regulations, foster rules and erect barriers to entry. <br /><br />Now there are two ways to earn regulation. Screw up really bad or play patsy with the leftist Pols who favor govt intervention. The problem is if you screw up that bad your firm will likely go under. So playing the Leftist game is the play. So what if the company has to pay for a few sex change operations? You end up with a market that you and three or four other firms play in. <br /><br />What's not to like making that play? Guaranteed share, limited competition, golf with your paid for senator and all for a couple of extra % of the EBITDA.<br />Tucanae Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935170696138248693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-17821181973901534562016-02-04T08:14:51.166-08:002016-02-04T08:14:51.166-08:00Medtronics is also caught up in the nonsensical Ob...Medtronics is also caught up in the nonsensical ObamaCare "medical device tax" based on revenue, not profit.

Of course, employees higher up complained, so they all had to get raises too. Walmart tried unsuccessfully to cram-down the extra cost onto their suppliers. Now they're laying off hundreds of salaried employees at headquarters (so now they're stuck with no jobs in Bentonville AR and can't sell their homes), and closing hundreds of stores around the country.<br /><br />And for this possibly fatal unforced error, they receive not a smidgen of gratitude from the SJW crowd.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-49030653696055951822016-02-03T18:01:16.181-08:002016-02-03T18:01:16.181-08:00Although there are more reboots, there are more mo...Although there are more reboots, there are more movies overall.

Gen-X was summed up for wanting the freedom "not to do something". In other words Gen-X is all about not having shit jammed down out throat. I thought the author had peered into my sole. <br />2) Corporate "leadership" with the leftist bent is comprised mainly of the baby boom's tail end, or maybe that in-between unnamed generation that wore Sasson, listened to Abba, and watched the Partridge Family.<br />3) Gen-X was not the brain washed, politically correct, get a trophy for showing up generation. That stuff came around half a decade later. Gen-x kids were the last latch key generation, today parents lose their kids to DCF, for the very same behaviors the parents of Gen-X did every day, as a matter of course. Gen-X was more ignored than brainwashed. <br />For evidence I submit:<br />- Gen-x lived on sugary cereal and Hostess No one watched what Gen-x ate, let alone bothered to brain wash.<br />- Saturday morning cartoons: Grab a box a sugar smacks and settle in for 6 hours of scooby doo, and Hanna Barbera.... there was no recycle message, no moral overtone (except commies are bad ie. Rocky IV, Wolverines, etc). By the time kids shows became leftist propaganda, Gen -x was already off to college Keg parties; and sex on campus did not require an affirmative communication ask for permission between each stroke. <br />- We had toy cowboy guns at school on Halloween. Oh yeah... we celebrated Halloween, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. <br />4) Gen x grew up in the the cold war, we knew communism was evil, and it caused Levi jeans to cost a fortune in the soviet union. We grew up under Reagan's two terms, just after seeing our parents stressed from Carter's sorry performance. Disney World & EPCOT were new trophies to the awesomeness of capitalism and corporate achievement. Thatcher fixed England, Regan fixed the US and ended the Soviet Union. The word loved us because we were right wing individualist cowboys. We watched Stallone kick ass in Rocky IV then wrap himself in the flag. Rambo showed us one bad-ass could win a war. <br />6) A recent lefty article lamented Rubio, Cruz, Palin, Jindal, Paul Ryan, and others are a charged up power surge for the right. Reagan's presidency inspired them, and left an indellible mark. Small Government, free thinking, and undying faith in free markets / individual liberty. There is no similar group for the left to draw from today. This is why Harry Reid, Hillary, and other wrinkly old Woman (yes Harry is really a woman) are the newest face they can paint on the pig known as old school failed liberal philosophy. Heck even Obama's leftist views are fueled by his families resentment over Regan's success and influence; one could say that Obama is the leftover byproduct, or "excrement" of the Regan Generation<br /><br />7) No seat belts, we never heard the word "inclusion", and if our football watching Dad's heard us supporting the hippie dippy baloney kids do today, we'd have gotten a smack. It was still legal then. <br /><br />8) We grew up watching a friggin fleet of Shuttles blast back and forth from space like giant right wing phallic symbols telling communism and socialism, to bend over. We felt our free way of life was superior to any other, and we were right.<br /><br />In short, as baby boomer senior managers spam employees with email propaganda promoting the GLOB-T business councils, and donate to socialist organizations, bowing to the green agenda gods, the Gen-X bench is fuming because of the time we had to waste deleting the email, and taking the company forced training indoctrination. <br /><br />We are a generation that grew up thinking WWGGD (What would Gordon Gecko Do?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-49308994002202334122016-02-03T14:10:42.219-08:002016-02-03T14:10:42.219-08:00The F500 company I used to work at would send emai...The F500 company I used to work at would send emails about how "47% of its management team is diverse (aka not white male)." Umm, last time I checked "diverse" is a characteristic of a group of people, not a race.<br /><br />We also had people who held positions like "gender diversity manager" and "inclusion director"(fuck me dude seriously). Presumably since they were at middle management level, there would be other people working underneath them in the department. <br /><br />Then you have to send out like 300 resumes, 10 interviews, etc. just to maybe get an IT job at a company.

I can tell when a new hire teen was raised exclusively my a female. He is just as helpless and hapless with hard physical work as his teen sister.
