Things That Make Me Mad: Part V


The young and pretty are all confident. The old and ugly...ignored. But just because you've got more money and better suits than the cats who wear denim and white cotton t-shirts to work, doesn't really justify you as young and pretty, friend.

Corporations run this country and say they'll save us all. Mom and pop grocery stores are closing because of the imported goods sold by the corporations are cheaper. But just because you're a corporate cock sucker on your phone with your accountant, secretary or mistress and lying to us every chance you can to make us feel good so you, in return, can feel good about the horrible shit you do just to earn an extra buck, doesn't qualify you as a better person, fucker.

Some of the ugliest shit happens in board rooms, where the people who pretend to care about other people sit and sip their Espresso's and chit-chat about their monumental gains in the stock market or the fact that the company's work force has just been cut in half so they all could have higher salaries. When I say they, I mean the bitches who are sitting, sipping and chatting, not the they who have just been informed their best friends, the guys who've worked next to them for the last 35 years, have been let go because the company has decided to go with a younger work force. A younger work force who have no experience, determination or any fucking clue that $5.75 an hour ain't worth it.

These people, these leaders of the free world, these board members of America, all hold us close and pretend to listen when we speak. But, like statues of stone and gates of steel, the bastards can't hear us. Or at least they don't want to hear us.

Once I was told that all mistakes are learning experiences. But when these mistakes are made, and the results are for the better, shouldn't it be the person who did said "mistake" who gets the pat on the back and the credit and not the mother fuckers who sit, sip and chit-chat in those board rooms who reap the benefits for bettering a product?

Lesson learned from that "mistake" indeed sir, lesson learned.

All the lies are true, and all that's false turns out to be fact in these board rooms across the globe. OK, maybe not in all of them, but in a good 99.74529871243% of them.
