That’s what you don’t hear a lot - the libtard takeover of a lot of big corp boardrooms. You have real conservative business people build a business and then lib ladderclimbers who never build anything but who are good at corporate politics (e.g. current GE CEO) come in and impose all of the same PC crap the govt wants to do.
It is a big problem. Some of these clowns are as big a threat as the kooks actually in govt who are screwing everything up.
My other beef nobody else mentions much - how Ivy Leaguers have gutted virtually every institution in the country in the past few decades. The Ivy League is less about knowledge and more about joining the “elitist club”. Even to get in in the first place is more about building a high school resume to get in the club than about some pure pursuit of knowledge. Then when they get out they continue building a resume (primarily done nowadays by mouthing the right libtard platitudes in the right circles) and they rise to a position of importance in some organization and contribute to screwing it up.
The thing about Goldberg’s article is he goes on to detail some of the “innovations” over the last ten years, specifically:
1. the Ipod
2. Pharamceuticals
He touts the current system, think of those two products in this light:
1. The Ipod’s “product” is compiling and offering for playback copyrighted media (for the most part), would there be an Ipod if there were not laws that protected that material?
In the US such product is protected with stringent copyright laws, in the rest of the world, such protections are a joke, in China for example such product is pirated almost instantly with no recourse for the copyright holder.
2. Pharmaceuticals, these also fall under the umbrella of state protection from patents, to research done at State funded universities, to grants for studies into such things as which stem cell lines have promise for the “next” cure.
Pharam also benefits from State intervention via laws against individual importation of pharamceuticals as well as suffers from price controls in other countries such as Canada.
In my view, the problem is not Capitalism, it is the State is far to involved in the markets whether Goldberg acknowledges that or not, it is odd that the man who has large knowledge of Benito Mussolini’s Fascism does not mention that fact of business life.
