  • The Peter Principle states that a manager will get promoted to his level of incompetency, then get stuck there. As time goes on, more and more managers reach their level of incompetency, until the entire management level is populated by people who are bad at their jobs.

    Say a guy is a great salesman, the best in the company, beats all his targets. He’s just great at it, and all his customers love him. So he gets promoted to sales manager, with a nice office, and a big raise.

    But just because he’s a talented salesman, doesn’t mean he knows how to manage sales people. Also, the guy who replaced him isn’t pulling in near the revenue, so the department he’s managing is now WORSE than before he took over. He becomes just another mediocre manager, in over his head, and he never gets another promotion again.

    Or maybe he moves up a few more levels, but eventually he hits the point that he can’t do well, and that’s where he remains, being mediocre. After a while, ALL the managers are people who were good at their old jobs, but mediocre at this one, and here they stay, until they are swept out in their 50s.



  • All consumer fines should go into the America First Fund (irony intended), to be the seed money for all the Social programs we need to implement.

    Billionaire and corporate fines should start at $1 billion per count, no matter how small the infraction, with money going to the America First Fund. Companies that have behaved particularly egregiously should be confiscated, and operated with the profits going to the America First Fund, and their owners stripped of their fortunes. Those who have been punished in such a manner will not be allowed to access the benefits of the AAF, they have lost those privileges of our society. In the future, the only destitute people in America will be formerly bad behaving Sociopathic Oligarchs. When you see a homeless person on the side of the road, you will know they are former billionaire shitheads, who EARNED their homelessness through their Sociopathic behavior.

    The AAF will stand alongside the Dow, and be discussed on the evening news. When they announce the daily results of the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ for the wealthy, they will also announce the AAF, for the Citizens, and to daily remind the wealthy that’s where their fortunes are destined if they don’t operate their businesses to benefit society.

    Those fines belong to the Citizens, and should directly benefit the Citizens.
