Interestingly anything Indian mentioned in this forum most of the time sounds chauvinistic to me. Not this comment itself but the point it makes at the end says what I mean. There’s this effort trying to appear distinguished.

Correlation does not imply causation.

When you start your argument by comparing company CEOs to politicians you are already lost it.

If you have enough money you can even elect a monkey for any office. It’ll be news to you maybe but that has happened already.

I believe in rule of law that applies to all, ideally equally. That's step #1 for democracy. Democracy is a process that involves me in the decision making. That’s it, very simple. I just do not see that is happening nor they have the slightest interest in doing so.

Agree, some are truly like that.

My comment, which is nothing but a rant was against the senate hearing, and the way it is conducted. It is nothing but a circus to make believe the public that senators are acting for the benefit of the public. Far from it, they just serve to certain interests. What I do not like is that they are just putting a show, and what they do is showmanship. Oh they make all those CEOs behave like a little school boy, right?!. Sweating in front of the principal, nice! How about themselves? For Iraq to be invaded these people needed to approve it. Now we know that all the evidence was bogus. Have we seen any such hearing on them? Any remorse, and resignation? They are flashing light to blind you. This is not democracy. That’s all I have to say.

Thanks for a detailed reply and analysis. There’s nothing I can disagree in these since it is an attempt to explain further why we do what we do. Also replying to other comments as well, life might leave one without much choice when especially living under deprived conditions and having family. But again it’s all about choices. I think downvotes are to the tone of the comment rather than the statement itself. Fair enough.

I do not think this is due to low wages. Quality of ones morality is not necessarily measured by ones wage. If one is corruptible/corrupt there’s always a price point (or some other excuse) one falls for it.

I like him giving the the middle finger. Why does he have to satisfy a bunch of egomaniac corrupt politician who has been net negative for the society. Why we have to watch in awe of their complete disconnect from current affairs of the society due to their total ignorance?
