So greed is good. Than what is bad? The greed displayed on Wall Street is becoming a problem. Where exactly the $4 billion in bonuses to Bank of America and Merrill Lynch come from? I knew I felt my pockets feeling a bit flatter this week! This is just becoming ridiculous, and the ultimate price is being paid by the less than fortunate middle and lower classes in America.
Now I will admit that I too have a greedy streak, and it is evident in the technology I buy and the use of money for partying and other disposables. I am stumped by this parallel. But I believe it is indeed a parallel of two different settings in modern America. The greed has taken us all into a really messed up position. It’s like, look! I can stand up on my hands, but I’m buried to my neck in sand! Standing up on our hands being our greed, our want to do something fantastic, but ignoring the fact that our heads are in the sand and we are all going to die unless we get our body back down below us. My point is that greed is never good. But it looks like so much fun!
On another note I want to make a smash the idiot A.I. student that doesn’t get it. Please bear with me for this rant.
I am furious over the fact that students come to school with no intentions of learning anything. Nor do some of these kids have a care in the world for the thousands of dollars they are wasting away every week they float on into class ill prepared. Sad really, and I will call them kids because that’s what they are putting themselves on display as. I work too damn hard to have a few kids make a group project hell for me. No positive input, no direction, and a complete lack of basic care for their grade, and in that case no pride in the work they should be putting into getting a degree. I would love to whack one of these fools in the face and scream at them, “way to go retard!”
