>>didn’t do much to prepare you for a real world, did they?
I was on a jury a few years ago with a professor of physics from UCIrvine.
Over the course of the trial we ate lunch together and he articulated his frustrated irritation regarding the amount and sophistication of cheating he observed going on.
He said they rationalized their behavior - “everybody does it” “that’s what you have to do to survive”.
It’s same attitude self-evident among the predators who graduated into the systemic corrupt manufacture of AAA a$$paper that was shoveled into the global economic infrastructure ala the Sub-Prime farce.
Deliberate, systemic, CORRUPTION. If they didn’t learn it in college, then where?
From their parents, or the lack thereof; and those multiple generations of demoralized failure are coming home to roost.
” “everybody does it” “that’s what you have to do to survive”. “
Does it seem strange to you that the generation raised by the generation that preached, “if it feels good, do it”, would espouse this philosophy? That is what they were taught, is it not?
“It’s same attitude self-evident among the predators who graduated into the systemic corrupt manufacture of AAA a$$paper that was shoveled into the global economic infrastructure ala the Sub-Prime farce.”
And all those predators are 30 year olds? Somehow I doubt that!
“From their parents, or the lack thereof; and those multiple generations of demoralized failure are coming home to roost.”
Exactly so. The boomers are having things finally come home to roost. :)
