: It amazes me the number of accusations thrown at McD's these days.
: I do not believe that McD's is to blame for the brunt of the world's
: problems. No business is perfect, and if you were to boycott and
: refuse to work for every company that has or has had contraversy over
: a certain action, or actions, you would be broke, starving, on your
: way to an early death due to lack of food, and you would likely be
: busted for indecent exposure. Your assuming that without money that the world would collapse and we would all spontaneously combust or something. We don't need money. EVERYONE knows in their heart whats wrong and whats right. PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CURRENCY. But what does this have to do with Mc'Ds?? Simple : It teaches kids from an early age that capitalism is the way! You and your letter being a PRIME example of that. :)
You need income, you need food, you need
: transportation, and you need clothing. I work for a financial
: institution that shall remain nameless. And God knows there has been,
: and is, plenty of contraversy regarding the industry that employs me.
: I am definitely not a fan of the S & L jam of the late 80's. I know
: that it was a bunch of idiot, and many not exactly legal, business decisions
: that caused their predicament. And, it was the taxpayer to the rescue!
: To add insult to injury, the taxpayer gets thanked by being dumped on by
: many of the banks, as a customer (Some charge $3 fees for the PRIVALEGE
: of talking to a live teller, and of course most charge a fee for each
: check paid.). At least the fast food places that are run right care
: enough for the customer to serve decent food, and appreciate the
: customer's business.
Alot of people i Konw who work there would soon as spit on another loud mouthed customer than serve them.
But with many in the banking industry, the
: bottom line is where it's at, and the hell with everything else.
: I,m sorry for rambling, and I know I put myself at risk for sounding
: irrelevent, but to wind everything up, and summarize, I too work for
: a contraversial industry. But I need my paycheck like everyone else
: does. By the way, I don't have any complaints regarding my department,
: and I'm treated well by my superiors. To close, there is nothing
: wrong with making money: The problem is when any business cares only
: about profit, and makes no effort to earn it.
You make sound as if its a case of "Im just donig my job" but thats the same arguement that nazi's in the Nuremburg trials used in defense of their actions.
TEH ENDS DO NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS.
