I guess you can say I've developed a very Republican, even a Conservative, attitude about this. I don't care what happens, just keep your hands off my stack. Surely you can understand that?
Ever since I was a 18 I've been righteously concerned about how the world was going to hell, but nobody listened. I even planned my career around that conviction. "Resource Management", locating, inventorying and efficiently utilizing planetary resources. Nobody cared. "You don't know nothing about economics, you don't have any idea what's going on. Trust us." I heard it from the government, I heard it from business, I heard it from my fellow citizens. We were redlining the planet right into the 21st century, a highway to hell of greed, waste, debt, lazyness, inefficiency, pointless luxury, mindless profits, and an idiotic consumer culture where everybody would live in the suburbs, buy a new car every year, send their kids to college to study Real Estate Investment Counseling, and work in an air-conditioned office shuffling paper until they retired at 50.
Even now, I am willing to work and help hold back the night. It's all I can really do about anything, after all. I've got skills, education, experience. But no one is hiring, are they? What's a resource management professional to do?
And all I get from you guys is "If you just let us do whatever we want, everything will be OK. Trust us." I'm sorry, I just don't believe you. I've heard it all before. You're on your own.
