Structure the stimulus for the shafted. |
|
I fear the stimulus will fail. Not because it’s too small. (Which it is.) Not because there’s not enough spending on infrastructure. (Which there isn’t.) I fear the stimulus will fail because the current anti-consumer, anti-employee culture will cause it to fail.
...While our backs were turned, the customer-is-always-right marketplace disappeared and was replaced by an anti-consumer culture that, at best, takes customers for granted and, at worst, sees them as prey....
...in this culture, what incentive do consumers have to go out and spend? What incentive do employers have to hire new people, pay them well, and give them benefits? What will change and why would it? There’s nothing in the stimulus plan that stimulates a change in the current anti-people culture. There’s only one way it can happen...

1. I've never been a fan of the mantra that 'the customer is always right' |
|
Better to phras it "the customer should always feel that she has been treated right."
In any case, the current economy-wide creed that "the employee is always irrelevant" is societally suicidal bullshit.
