I have the same feeling you do, but I really wonder: is it the same as it's ever been and I am growing older, or are we really more selfish than we used to be?

I have the same feeling you do, but I really wonder: is it the same as it's ever been and I am growing older, or are we really more selfish than we used to be? It sure seems like everyone is out to make a buck, morality be damned.
I just always imagine the shame that I would feel if I was in charge of making these short-sighted decisions. Sacrificing the quality/safety of the product to make a bonus. I would feel intensely ashamed about doing such a thing, but I guess that disqualifies me from ever being in charge.
- closetohome 7y agoI think if you want a glimpse into the future of competitive behavior as the population increases and climate change starts gnawing on the economy, look at the school systems in South Korea and China. Absolutely cutthroat from day one, because there are so many people competing for the same resources.
