Thanks to the emphasis on ‘Japanese management principles’ in the 80s, and the corresponding complete destruction of company ethics, loyalty, and employee investment, the entire structure of America has become a peterocracy…. IE. corporate and economics defined by the peter principle.

Yes, our entire corporate infrastructure took the worst possible lessons from one of the most oppressive tyrannies on Earth that was conquered 40 years earlier and applied those not only to their own profitability, but in turn used their influence to apply them retroactively to the government and nation they dominated.

We saw this coming. Heck, the 1986 Michael Keaton movie ‘Gung Ho’ illustrated the change that was coming, and as America falls, so will Japan which has existed solely by being propped up by their conquerors for decades.

Never allow your country to be ruled by merchants.

“THAT is the meritocracy that exists in the West. It exists purely to perpetuate itself, not to add value t to a nation or a culture as a whole.”

But it’s mere existence adds value.

One of our Canadian colleagues visited us in NY, and didn’t understand why people started quietly laughing as he handed his cards out, so he asked me if he had said or done something funny. I replied, “Yeah, you put MBA on your business cards. Everyone in the room has a MBA … even our administative assistant.”

You don’t brag about your MBA because you have other degrees.

I don’t brag about my MBA because it’s worthless.

We are not the same.
