Giving an explanation for all this, Roger Martin, dean of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, told Bloomberg in an interview, “It’s not that [CEOs or investor capital] hates labor, or wants to crush their lives. They just don’t care.”
Quote of the day
Martin is just plain wrong. They very much care. The 1%. Which is why they spend so much money buying up every newspaper, radio and tv station, senator, representative, trade group and so on. Big Brother wouldn’t have set up a police state if he didn’t care. “I want what I want when I want it.”
I agree with imhotep on this one. They DO hate labor; they DO want to inflict suffering on others. When I was in the private sector, I would hear comments all the time about referring to a plant’s work force as “the dregs of society”, and “never let the unions in” when a plant in a union-allowing state would be closed and moved to a right-to-work/nonunion state.
It goes way beyond “just don’t care”. They WANT to inflict hardship.
Yes, to these predators, it a fight to the death.
I’m sorry I don’t see much of a difference between crushing people because you ‘hate’ them or crushing them because you don’t give a shit about them. Pretty much the same thing, I’d say.
