I’m not actually Johnny. I’m David, and I don’t speak French or Walloon or Frisian or Flemish well enough to live in Belgium. It’s just how most shareholder or private equity owned companies in the USA are run.
I actually think that the solution isn’t so much a change of career for me, but an increase in the taxes on the shareholders and chief executives to find better health care, better education, better social care, better care for veterans, better infrastructure etc etc etc, so that we all benefit from the profits rather than just the already wealthy folks.
So no, I don’t get cross with the government for taking the shareholders’ money, I get cross with the shareholders for taking my money. I think that’s far more rational.
Why rather pay twice for healthcare when you can pay once, it doesn’t matter what illness you get, and no one has to remortgage their house to keep their relative alive?
When I see the job with my skills where the ceo doesn’t take most of the money I earn, I’ll be sure to apply and look up my old comments to tell you that you were right, but I would still want socialised healthcare because it’s much cheaper and has better health outcomes and I won’t have to remortgage the house if my Mum needs expensive treatment.
If that’s the case for you, it might be good for you to change jobs or become self-employed? That way you’re free from what you perceive as evil corp?

Why rather be cross, than change your situation?

One does not exclude the other?
