In response to A Manifesto for Disorder:

Basically, the current civilization is hanging on the edge of a number of very thin threads. Global warming if it were scientifically valid is not even an issue. We will be so dead long before the earth could warm up. All it will take is one small disaster, a war, or civil disruption, and this whole world civilization will come spinning apart like a busted flywheel.

In response to Big Losses, Bigger Paychecks:

One quibble: senior management doesn't pay themselves anything. Their pay is set by the board, who is supposed to be speaking on behalf of the owners. Acknowledging that there is some gaming of the system, restricting their pay limits the ability of the owners to spend THEIR money in the way they see fit. If they want to waste it, paying management more money than we think wise, that ought to be their choice.
