George is either really old and bitter, or he's right.

Either way, I can safely ignore it.

[suitedaces84]

wtf does he have to be bitter about?

He just seems to have gotten that way the older he gets. I get more disillusioned every day too.

[UrAteUp]

He is so right. Welcome to corporate America.

pretty standard marxist rant

[KingOHearts]

Standard hollywood b*llsh*t. Make a lot of money not working too hard, then complain about the system that made it all possible.

I was thinking about this while walking to get a coffee this morning.

At the moment thing are sh*tty but not intolerable. Until they’re intolerable people are unlikely to act.

I also think the reason I don’t mind much is because I hope to be rich and corrupt myself someday

[UrAteUp]

Yeah I have to tend to agree with KOH and Supa. Muck too has a point. When the rest of you sissies get tired of it let me know and I will stand beside you as we protest. Till your tired of it though it won't do me much good to let it bother me.

Heard this rant a million times. Don't agree. Really don't care - let him rant.

However, what really pisses me off is how he suggests that anyone that doesn't agree with his view is either a sheep, stupid, or has their head buried in the sand.

It really is just another form of conspiracy theory. "They" are doing (or did) this. I'm smart and have figured it out. Everyone that hasn't is stupid.

I feel like I lost a point off my IQ just by listening to him.

[RoniDeutch]

Funny that people from Texas and Arizona are the ones who are disgusted by the rant

that's why some poor people are republicans. They don't plan on being poor all their life.

Hmmm.... Not sure if this is a compliment or a shot. I'll take it as a compliment.

[tame_deuces]

I'll buy it. Though not because I think corporations are large evil entities performing conspiracies, but more because the powerful corporations are large, unwieldy and to a big degree void of personal legal responsibility.

Kafkaesque if you will, which is ironic. (Not that I'd ever finish a Kafka book, so don't think I'm an intellectual or anything).
