The Internet, and the World of Business

The two video clips below are very poignant regarding business and how we live our lives today.  They both, in my summation, articulate how corporate society and business communities, with our approval, fail to function for us, but collude against us.  Again, across the board, we choose to trust where it is not warranted.

Question is - how and when will we, as a nation, make the tough choices that will get us back on track, moving in the right direction.  The thing is, I believe, important things happen collectively after we make very important choices personally, individually.

It will continue to come down to our choices, there is no avoiding that fact.  Who among us make those moral judgements on a daily basis that benefit us all.  And, who do not.  Each of us make choices, or have them made for us everyday.  Question now is, what are you doing about it, for you!  Do you and I take small steps to move forward, do the right thing, daily?  And, when will those that drag us down, drain us of genuine progress be challenged, even confronted?  And, who among us know how to do that, in a good way?

I believe each of us have a good, positive step right in front of us.

A Good Read: "Bailout"

Just watched this show from "The Daily Show" and this book and subject sounds more than interesting.  Confirms much of what we understand, when we're not indulging ignorance or avoidance of the truth.

Notice how the behavior of those in Washington DC and on Wallstreet affect our housing issues here in Minnesota.  What other questions might you think of regarding housing and homelessness in light of this awareness?

The author mentions being in a world that seems upside down. He also references the ego and narcissism of these people in charge of our banking system.
