There is a website called atlas shrugs, some horrifying reading at times.

Sometimes I really believe that the government is planning on taking over everything.
Has the government ever given itself powers that it didn`t intend to use?

Most work is imaginary or routine. There's no reason to pay more for a better employee if the you can fatten the bottom line with a cheaper one.
It's a race to the bottom, my friend.

I will start with the latest happenings, for me.
My job has suddenly laid off a few people. There is nothing odd about that really; people get laid off every day. The odd thing about the lay offs, is the people they are laying off.
If you have to downsize because of finances, wouldn’t you lay of your new hires first? The people they are laying off are the best in their positions. I am still in shock about the lay off of my co-workers because she wasn’t only good at her job but she was the most dedicated, the friendliest, the most compassionate and always the first one to roll up her sleeves and stand right next to you at the plate.
I don’t understand why anyone would lay of their brightest, most experienced people and keep the ones that create most problems.
I am sure there is a good reason buried in the mix somewhere; I just haven’t figured out yet.

I actually see things as getting less crazy. Being a student of history I know that there are plenty of times throughout the centuries when the world was nothing but chaos. Today the world is more interwoven where if you go to NY you can find the exact same shops and restaurants as you can in LA.
100 years ago it was not like this.
People are becoming more apathetic and less volatile as societies where the odds of us living through another French Revolution are basically slim to none.
Nuclear weapons proliferation has almost guaranteed that we will see no wars larger than little proxy wars fought, economies are now all tied together where something that happens in Kenya has ripple effects felt everywhere.
Things are not becoming stranger, they are becoming more similar than ever in our past history.
I don't believe there is anything grand coming at us, in fact I think just the opposite. We are beginning a very long run of boredom within our societies where they all meld into the same thing.
they won`t want dedicated hard working movers and shakers, they want drones who will work for low wages,won`t make waves or ask any questions
