their idea of affirmitive action is to crerate a nice glossy pamphlet
telling everyone how good everything is
You guys think government is bad? Here's a story for you. I worked for one of the top 5 wall street
firms for 7 1/2 years as a computer graphics specialist. My last couple of years there I was asked to
create the graphics for rather large signs that were placed in frames in the elevators every week.
Senior vice presidents of the firm fed me the information to put into the signs and the CEO himself
signed off on many of them. Each and every sign displayed positive growth via graphs, charts, and
quotes from publications like Forbes Capitalist Tool, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and many
others. Every sign every week told a great story of how well the firm was doing. Imagine my surprise
when not only did the firm file for bankruptcy but not much later it was exposed as having had a 40/1
debt to asset ratio meaning for every dollar it had in assets it had 40 dollars in debt. That makes
anything governmental look like a shining example of human brilliance. At least people can vote
public officials in and out of office.
