The fundamental problem with Capitalism: Nobody cares about "WHO you are." All they care about is "WHAT you can DO for THEM." This one directional relationship orientation is unbalanced and unstable. Unfortunately it affects and influences ALL our other relationships dramatically(and this is intentional). For example: Since the "At will hire laws" were passed in 1995, your employer has no responsibility to you except to pay you money every two weeks IF you work. In your job function, your personality can actually be a hindrance. The more you perform your task efficiently, without any personal conflict, the more valued employee you are (until you are replaced). Your personality is irrelevant to the task and a potential liability if customers or coworkers dislike your hobbies or interests. In the end analysis, you have no friends in the workplace and if you do your job well, nobody even knows who you really are. In the short term, this working relationship is efficient AND profitable. In the long term, this working relationship causes fear, isolation, loneliness, disappointment and grief. There is no community. There is no common cause. There is no support network. There is no LOVE. There is only work, and pay, and forced retirement until death.
Is this REALLY the economic system you want to live under? Is this really the best possible economic organization and social structure for humans to live in? HAHAHAHA
