Those WHO OWN Corporate Stock

Anything I have to say about corporate behavior really should bypass management and go directly to those who own the corporations.

I've heard it time and time again. When management of these corporations get called under the carpet for irresponsible profit oriented behavior, they simply fall back upon the excuse "that it is what the owners want and it's not managements' fault." They are simply doing the bidding of stockholders.

I don't buy that excuse, entirely. I suppose it really relates to what kind of questions they are being asked.

OK,  stockholders ... it is about time you get your stuff together and start taking responsibility for your actions. Maybe you don't know what the company you own is doing. Maybe you do not even know that you have ownership in particular corporation. Those 401(k)'s you've been forced to set aside funds in, DO invest in corporate stock, get the picture???

Don't you think it is about time you figured it out?

I dare say that YOU (corporate stockholder) cannot be blameless for what your company does (I am speaking ethically, here). Have you wondered where all the good American jobs have gone??? Have you wondered why the amount you get paid keeps going down??? Have you wondered why companies such as Apple, Google etc keep their profits overseas? Have you wondered why your company is sitting on a lot of cash (I mean A LOT of cash) ???

Your companies do not live all alone on an island. YOU are responsible to the folks who buy your product and should be grateful (and show it) for the stable political military environment (of the United States) that makes your existence possible.

The reasons your company keeps getting bigger, along with more profits is that they are able to victimize folks that work for them with lower wages and of course charging more for what they sell. Charging more for what they sell is getting easier because your company is gobbling up other companies thus eliminating the competition and any downward pressure on their prices. Anyone heard of a monopoly (and not the board game either) ???

When oil prices were spiraling down a while back, I overheard a sweet grandmother complaining about it because it would have a detrimental impact upon her stocks. Imagine that??? No concern on her part whatsoever as to how we were being strangled to death by high energy prices (aka obscene profits).

OK, then ....

You, the American stockholder is to blame and I am going to hold you personally responsible for the absolute mess our country is in because of irresponsible unchecked corporate actions.

We, the common folk are going to hunt you down and hold YOU accountable. UNLESS, of course you just fix it "NOW."

If you fix it, WE will forgive you because you apparently just didn't know.

Human - Sex/Labor Trafficking

Human trafficking is characterized by the use of force, fraud or coercion to lure their victims into some type of labor or commercial sex act. Not all of these above factors may be present in every situation. Human trafficking is a crime which is seldom reported due to language barriers, fear of traffickers and possibly fear of law enforcement itself. Craigslist, to their credit ... removed the "Personals" section within their online service in March of 2018 due to Federal legislative decree stiffening penalties associated with sex trafficking. It was the right move legally, ethically and morally. Sex trafficking is a subset of the larger issue known as "Human Trafficking." It is not an unreasonable stretch of logic to equate sex trafficking with the trafficking of labor, e.g. illegals being brought into the U.S. for the purpose of working in American businesses. A good number of American businesses are INDEED guilty of said labor trafficking. No place is ...

Trudeau, G7 (or G6 +1) and Trump

I am not altogether displeased with the way President Trump handled himself during this weekend's Economic Summit in Quebec, Canada. And on top of all that, I am impressed with the ongoing Twitter dialogue (if that is what one would call it) with the Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau. Due to the way in which the opposition here in the United States treats the President, it's not too much of a surprise that the rest of the world thinks they can do the same. The members of the G7 are also politicians playing to their home crowd and they shouldn't expect the US to be any different in protecting the best interests of our country. President Trump  being the street fighter (from, New York) that he is certainly never misses the opportunity to respond in kind. As to tariffs .... it would seem each country has their own set of tariffs to protect their industries. Screaming out loud in economic pain over our need to do the same is disingenuous at best. I am intrigued by the po...

Our Current Political Leaders are a DISGRACE

This current batch of political leaders are most disingenuous ... thus, disgracing their elevated leadership status. Perhaps, referring to them as such is a little strong .... nevertheless, it may NOT be too far off the mark. If any of our elected leaders truly cared about a solution to the immigration problem, then at this very moment we would be talking about workable solutions instead of blaming each other for the lack thereof. The images we are being presented with regarding detention of children are simply put forth to elicit emotional outbursts as opposed to serving as a basis for generating solutions to the overall problem of illegal immigration and border security. Once again, the defenseless  (in this case the most helpless of all ... children) are getting hurt and are no more than political pawns. Hey!!! Washington ... these defenseless folks have families, breath, blood and emotions. Management types in business, will tell the minions ... that if we are not par...
