Late stage.
Work for big company.
At team meeting reviewing 2017 we were told we are probably the best team when comparing work load.
Then we were told that for 2018 we will also be judged on moral, engagement and identifying with the companies vision.
In general the policy changes so often that it's impossible for most to keep up with it, including those who make it.

capitalism is simply a free trade system based on voluntary consent. tie that in with a limited government authority to protect peoples individual liberties and you have the idea. its a system that equalizes things as naturally as possible (however im still wish the settlers could get over slavery when understanding so much, guess thats jsut social conditioning for ya) however freedom and peace doesn't always last compared to other types of governments that control finacning and calls the shot in what or who to sacrifice to gain an edge and do it all in the name of the greater good. some peopel realized that. those that pushed for a federal bank amongst so many other laws that could slightly tip the favor and unequalize people for greater good or just personal gains. and then slowly we get corporatism the next best thing when owning the military and killing and slaughtering own people is so outdated. corporatism/facism. Its a combo of of greedy vps and ceos tied in with gov officials. Its a team sport. People always seem to forget that and just blame anyone rich or owns a business. Stereotyping while ignoring that none of that is possible at all without the lawmakers. The most guilty are the lawmakers since they act as the parent or guardian. If a kid asks a parent to get crunk and the parent says ok we blame the parent. but in politics we blame the kid. Peopel got get rid of this team mentality spoon fed shit and apply some critical thoguht sometimes. Its terrible to think that peopel associate capitalism with negativity while complaining about equality. Those people have no idea what theyre talking about. Just repeating talking heads. Capitalism with limited government as i can see is the best way to maintain individual rights (equality where it counts), vs all other types of governments. And i mean rights, not liek rights liek healthcare is a right, a right doesnt mean the sacrifice of another person time or ability for you. Or right to a job.Basically any and all of fdr's democratic rights. And yes it generally means survival of the fittest but not in i club you to death situation, more like a remora and shark situation . A remora will never be able to beat a shark but they live amongst each other. genetic ability is not suppose to be equal. capitalism +limited government to protect rights is the evolved method of survival of the fittest. of course for those who buy into that movie shit likely dont have any ability to understand or comprehend and probably dont try becasue it takes effort, to get what im saying. but hey heres with OBAMA liek hope that you will make an effort that you will think. nothing wrong with hope, but i wont place to much value in it.
and thats that in soundbyte. which unfortunatley is what our culture is reduced too, but at least it also works as a screen for real talent. fuck facebook and twitter....qbn eh
