Of course, I have that GENE gene. But I can't help but thinking this is a macroeconomic response to CEO pay increasing 940% from 1978 to 2018, while the pay of average workers has increased only 11.9% during the same 40 year period.

I'm not excusing lassitude. But I do think workers must feel like they're part of something or they're bound to grow disaffected.

Tomorrow's Ad Aged goes into this.

With citations from Pulitzer-winners Jon Meacham and Barbara Tuchman

and Stanford professor, Walter Scheidle. And yes. I'm a little red.
