#money

"it's not all about #money, you need to focus on #gold as well"

I don't think he cares - he runs his business and the stock keeps going up. I am not trying to be mean here, I think he is required to put shareholders first and he's doing it.

The bigger question here is why do we as a society accept this concept (disregarding the worker and giving all TLC to the shareholder). As a society we'll face issues in future if we continue this way as we are destroying our middle class while enriching the shareholders who are primarily very wealthy.

I do not have anything against wealth, folks earned or inherited money and I respect that. All that I am saying here is that we we continue to erode rights and protection of the worker we will continue to undermine (from the economic standpoint) our middle class. This has been going on since the 1980s and it's accelerating recently.

The leaders of major corporations need to have a heart to heart with the Wall Street and to discuss this - if we continue with this 'shareholder first' mantra what kind of consequences we will be facing 5, 10 or 15 years from now.

I don't know, it's a hard one to solve but given how much folks were pissed during the last election (both the left and the right) I think we'll have a massive social unrest very soon - at that point no amount of #money or #gold will be enough to calm things down...

Just my two very humble and relatively uneducated cents...
