Paid to Suck

The more I think about this the more evident it becomes, a great deal of people are being paid to suck. It isn't just sucking at what they do, it's also sucking the life from themselves, the people around them or society in general.

The good news is as the sucking gets closer and closer to critical mass it becomes more and more obvious that a paradigm shift is inevitable. I'd like to help people make the transition... and in helping themselves possibly learn how to help their neighbors, friends and family as well, suck less.

But first, lets examine the evidence that... indeed a great deal of people are paid to suck at what they do... and some are rewarded handsomely.

Unfortunately, society has been formed into a top down pyramid structure. This mindset is very evident... there is a small number of people at the top and a large group at the bottom. The folks at the top have control and the ones at the bottom don't. Why we have chosen to live this way isn't really clear, it isn't blatantly obvious that there are alternatives but their are. In any case, the first step to changing is acknowledging where we are at. The medium that perpetuates this 'pay for sucking' is the central banking and fiat money system. By extending credit to those who suck and printing money to pay for sucking, sucking has become a major industry.

In general, it's easy to sharp-shoot those near the top... it's very evident that folks like politicians do a very good job sucking these days. Billionaires like Donald Trump suck a great deal, he's owned more bankrupt businesses than the average person has credit cards... but look, he's a billionaire. A bit further down even Nobel prize winners are not an exception. The highly educated people like Scientists, Doctors, Lawyers can pretty much suck as well. If you call them on their sucking they just point to the system and shrug. But as the old saying goes "S**t rolls down hill" and at the bottom, just by volume alone, sucking is the most prevalent. Poor service is an occurrence daily, bad attitudes are abundant, try calling customer service or return a inferior product... it's highly likely one will find people sucking at what they do. The education system has prepared us to suck and in that regard it works well.
