I find it fascinating. I cannot tell you how many complain about corporate structure, meaningless paperwork, and working on projects that are just money traps for consumers. When asked why do you work here ? Get the same blank stare.

Somehow people appear to be easily influenced to end up working at corporations and on projects devoid of real meaning, passion or soul. Almost a depressed defeatist attitude like .. yeah I live in this overpopulated city that I don’t like .. working at a corporation that treats people as cogs .. making a product that is designed to exploit others … and ohh by the way I am kind of depressed.

Hmmm

Otherwise, starve.

As it turns out, access to finance is tightly controlled by a (relative to the rest of the poulace) small population that sets the tone for the rest. Essentially, thry make the on-ramps.

You wanna change it? Good luck. Save up and do your best with the time you've got, because if it doesn't mesh with the overall tune, you're done.

Easy to put the blame on the individual when you don't take into account the rest of the environment.
