5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Business management practices. For a half century now, the snake has been eating it's tail devouring itself, it's employees, it's communities, it's government's...all to make Lumberg's stock go up 1/4 of a point. None of it is sustainable. Most of it is impractical. We all know it will end in violence in several likely ways and some of the damage is irreversible to people and planet. Yet, despite those unequaled consequences of current approaches, it's breathtaking the confidence with which freshly endebted newly minted business grads seek to join the line of miserable adults to create more miserable adults. Impressive execution of horrible ideas for sure.
