I know you think you’re arguing against me, but what you described supports my position.
- _1100 7y agoAgreed. It doesn't matter if it is hard to recognize, if you are unable to understand something then you are by definition incompetent with respect to the task or idea.
- JimBrimble35 7y agoIt isn't incompetence, it's complacent acceptance of a toxic norm for personal gain.
- toasterlovin 7y agoFine, incompetence is the wrong word, but malice isn't the right word.
- JimBrimble35 7y agoI think that if you look at the history of the trend, and the politics behind it. The decreases in top marginal tax rate, decreases in corporate tax rates. It starts to really _feel_ malicious. Although you're probably right, I don't think that all of the current c-suite occupants in the nation are acting out of malice.
