Who do you think is going to design, manufacture and market the guitar, amp, speaker, book, paper, ink, etc?
This might sound anti-capitalism to some degree, but I wish that products were produced more localized. What I mean is that wherever people live.. There is a guitar shop in which guitars are made there. Im just using guitars as an example, but its not massed produced. If your guitar breaks you go to the shop and the people who made it fixes it.
Now I know there are certain things that this wouldn't be possible (cell phones, computers, etc), but the corporate world really has taken away "the American dream" in a sense.
There might be something I am really good at building and could build enough to meet up to a certain demand.. Make a good living doing what I enjoy.. If I didn't have to compete with the corporations whose products are made by kids in China at a much cheaper cost. And while I get that its better for the consumer.. At least short term, you are not getting the same quality you would get when people who take pride in what they do build it.

You know, they all look like they shop at the same store, usually Brook Bros., and J. Crew. They weren't eating. I suppose they'd already eaten as they were having a business meeting.

It would be hard to imagine anything so unoriginal, so smug, and so meaningless as this bullshite post. It is like the Hallmark card of vapid.
My advice? Get a job.

I can’t get past the fact that you think J Crew clothing is corporate.

One guy, oldest of the bunch was obviously the big swinging dick of whatever mind-numbingly sterile and architecturally non-binary corporate building they'd come from. 30 minutes have passed and he's been talking incessantly non-stop for the entire time, regaling the eight others with his corporate genius
Plot twist. It was a family dinner and the rambling older guy was the patriarch who has dementia. The 8 others were his sons and grandsons, and spending time with him, enjoying the time with their dad/grandpa before he succumbs to dementia and can’t remember the stories that he was regaling them with for the prior 30 minutes.

Skimmed over the whole thing and didn’t see anything political. So good post!
