I can’t possibly improve on the title CBS provided for this video.
How completely tone-deaf and detached from objective reality are these people? Whatever the long-term financial justifications there may be for this project, the timing and optics are, by any measure, just catastrophically awful.
Maybe it’s time to erect a gleaming bronze guillotine next to this iconic figure on Wall Street. If Ariely’s findings hold any water, maybe it will have a chastening effect on these avaricious bastards.
The slaughter during the French Revolution is making a lot more sense now, isn’t it?
It’s an increasingly attractive option. If anything, it’s possibly too humane. Perhaps a more cruel retribution would be fitting in this instance.

The U.S. has a corporate aristocracy that is really no different than the one in old Europe including the same belief that they have a divine right to their wealth, status and power.
The U.S. can go in one of two directions: the French/Russian Revolution path which will be bloody, violent and risks resulting in a society that is even more dysfunctional, or they may follow the Scandinavian/Benelux path where the aristocracy realized the jig was up and handed over power peacefully.
It will be interesting to see where which path it goes down.
Scandinavian/Benelux! Scandinavian/Benelux!
Yes! Please! Having visited EU frequently, I’d say most of the Northern European (welfare states – according to Harper) systems are better than the US model. Imagine medicare, drug care, daycare, nannies and homecare, etc., etc…
One can dream…
