... at the INSANE discourse, led by the vacuous "pundits" of the MSM, which totally FAILS to distinguish between people in business with SKILLS in creating a PRODUCT or delivering a SERVICE and those in business who're totally devoid of such skills but know how to prey upon vulnerable businesses and rob and pillage them for whatever can be sold. They're nothing more than fences for stolen goods.

There are some REAL management and business skills having to do with craftsmanship, organization, training and development, and operational effectiveness. It's actually POSSIBLE to run a business profitably while treating employees as HUMAN BEINGS worthy of RESPECT, making a PROFIT, and giving the customers the best value for their money. (It requires a "win-win" attitude -- seeing good business as a plus-sum game.) Jim Senegal at CostCo is just one example. One of the reasons that Warren Buffet is a billionaire is because he KNOWS the difference. Buffet focuses on operational excellence (what we used to call "fundamentals&quot in those enterprises he invests in. Buffet has never been a vampire or vulture.
