I am going to take an excuse me diatribe, broader view. Read when your not working yourself to "death".
One, there are major inequalities in the U.S.A. that those in a "good job" likely think that they "earned" it fair and square. If your "good" white guy, then prove it every day. If your good poc person, prove it every day. The truth is, there is an enormous amount of talent out there in all shapes and sizes wanting the opportunity, that break. And I'll put a third of century in pharma with several major players opinion out there for the hope of real change in our world.
Not your huffing and puffing at each other as if one side is right and the other absolutely wrong. I suggest, we are all wrong if we want to live by higher ideals, principals and integrity. If we don't then, continue on and know your being played.
And this requires, everyone to not live in fear. If your talented you make a living in America. It may not be exactly where or what you want, for what you want to make at that time. But you should not see your family starve. Fear leads to lower moral standards. It's that base stem, reptilian brain thing that is part of who we are as homo sapiens, less you forgot, it's there inside you. Resist it. You will survive and thrive if your talented, persistent and most importantly, fearless.

What is LAUGHABLE?
We forget to look and identify the actual DRIVERS and CULPRIT in CORPORATE AMERICA and ALL THE DISCRIMINATION that is SYSTEMIC everywhere in AMERICA.
Two points,
Let's take the not so current topic of racial discrimination in America. If SYSTEMIC, who actually facilitates and drives such? It is DRIVEN by those in POSITIONS of POWER and WEALTH. This is not unlike illegal drugs in America, illegal corporate business dealings by our corporate "nation" states, political corruption with entrenched politicians, simple money power "rules" by aristocrats. Who the hell are these arrogant bastards who build MOATS around their POWER BASE, institute "their legislation" that enslaves groups of people from living with a real possibility of ADVANCEMENT with liberty?
What do I know? I'm a "successful" white male of UHNW having learned through close observation and witnessed their ways of the jungle. But I know I am nothing; if not learned. 'Pharma' presents all types to you in this mighty capitalist sphere to teach. As I sip Grgich Hills Estate, remembering a lovely dinner next to vineyards walked with the owner as the sun set, my mind turns to what and who really ails America in it's sad divides 2021.
To ARISTOCRATES like Bill Gates. The Sage of Pandemics and all things Mankind. He made his snow white billions off the backs of MSFT employees to excess. Now he wants to rule the worlds health and food. He now owns an UNGODLY INAPPROPRIATE amount of farm land across America. And he has one BIG MOUTH for a guy who took all he could with, yes a company he co-founded, but now, the SAVIOR of mankind. NOT BUYING. And, you should be scared of ARISTOCRATES like Bill Gates telling you how and what needs done and how to live. Aristocrats of our ageless time are a major risk to our freedoms.
The AMERICAN Corporate ELITE here and in all the major corporations in AMERICA. They all collusively have worked the compensation and power broker system over the past 35 years with boards and major shareholder interest to gain total compensation that is unjustified, immoral on any reasonable standards here and world wide. This predominately WHITE AS SNOW group of ELITISTS have kept minorities OUTSIDE looking in for decades with laws in place. NOW 2020-2021, with their TRANSGENERATIONAL WEALTH at risk, they are PLAYING the massive, timely INCLUSION diversity card that has been law for decades. Beware of these massive hypocrites. They only care about their power base and wealth generation. And they will do as LITTLE as they can to impact their WORLD. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. They need their world rocked as they have set the example for things such as discriminatory behavior. The perfect example for the lower rung at the bottom of each corporate ladder.
The PROFESSIONAL POLITICANS and "OUR LOBBISTS" continue in their BACK ROOM DEALS that SERVE the power brokers, NOT YOU of COLOR or even YOU of little melanin. While much of Federal and State legislation is either ignored by "leaders" or in fact, work paradoxically to ENSLAVE people. But with enslavement comes, yes, control. They only care, deep down about their chance to make a killing in financial deals on the backside of their "day job"', protect their PENSIONS and health care, and any other substantial PERK that is yielded to them. They really don't care about the issues per se; rather the reward.
So, be NIAVE and FIGHT AGAINST one and other at the bottom of the food chain. This country uses sledgehammers like to SYSTEMIC SOCIAL issues to divide and conquer the masses at all of our expense. So, HATE, fight, destroy, attack an re-attack. But at the end of the day, as the orange sun sets from their perfect balcony view, they show a clear, winning grin as they see the pigs at the trough far, far below. They know they have you right where you need to stay. All and each of you, less the hand picked, they wish to bring forth and up.
It's an inside job, always has been. But now, in America it is the ultimate game plan of
all the CEOs, aristocrats and major league politicians. Any major issue, they will abuse you all and leave no "mark". Unless, we rise up COLLECTIVELY to bring forth real change across our institutions and organizations.
Here are REAL, PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS that we all can pursue to change the U.S.A. together:
- CEO / Executive Reforms that make real change to encourage just, moral, principled BEHAVIOR. With those reforms see real compensation reductions to say, 100-125 times you, and just MEETING EXPECTATIONS will include many social and ethical standards with clear metrics to find ways to be inclusive of all people in this country with the desire and talent to advance. This is not liberal speak. This is justice from the TOP- DOWN. Long overdue. And compensation for a minority has to be reduced at that level just like the "white crowd". They have to be morally accountable to a higher calling than massive wealth generation. So, do not give our "CEOs" the respect they do not deserve. The scientists, researchers, manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing bring forth new things. Not CEOs. Most are simply replicable and replaceable, like YOU. Peacefully, advocate real change with your "vote" and voice.
- Term Limits/ Pension Elimination / Lobbyist Reform at the Federal and applicable U.S. states. This will take enormous effort as they are entrenched. But as we speak, there are movements about in states and at the Federal level. Speak loudly as it benefits ALL Americans to see these changes for our PUBLIC SERVANTS who betray us each day.
- LIMITS on what an Aristocrat can actually do to influence our world. Such as limits on AGRICULTURAL land they can accumulate, etc. All their massive wealth should not provide them the ability to DICTATE life in this free country. All avenues of undue, overstated influence by these ultra-elitist, multi-billionaires needs kept in check. Or we are just a "free" country ruled by aristocrat arrogance.
We have the right to be "wrong".
To control our destiny as we define it,
not their particular view,
selfish motives or even,
their "morality" to save us all from ourselves.
Pass this on to your family, friends, neighbors, community and SM.
Pass this on, if you want to at least try to take your country back to live your dream as you see it.
