I think it's a combination of power corrupts as well as corrupt people seek power but yes it only gets worse the higher up you go. Lots of people want financial stability so it's of course a competitive environment which invites dirty tactics.

Depends, if you were in a b-class then you have about as much aura as a prius. But if you were in a g or s-class you are without a doubt superior to that peon in the pontiac sunfire that's somehow still running.

I do find that a lot of "bully" type people seem miserable, angry, combatative. That's likely what drives their lack of empathy though, they don't care about hurting others because they think in some roundabout way that if everyone is upset then it's fair. There are a lot of reasons why some people justify the way they live and a lot of them will never willingly change.

Yes karma is cause and effect but a lot of times the effect won't happen without human intervention to force it into reality. I would describe that more as social structure or framework. Tomato potato

I want nothing from you other than your social security, bank cards and pins, credit card information, medical information, your first born, your shoe size, favorite color and why, as well as your third born

I believe in consequences of your actions of course, but I don't believe there is some kind of cosmic scale balancing right and wrong. Maybe there is but that's quite an assumption to make. Lots of old rich men and women end up in that cycle of trading partners in like leased vehicles. Some people don't care so much for companionship as much as they care about vanity. Sad, yes, but who am I to dictate how some people find happiness.

Seems condescending to assume I think that belief makes me "smart". I'm speaking on my experience, that's the only experience I have. I don't appreciate you trying to make me out as some kind of angsty teen rebel.

I went to business school and worked in corporate for a while, I know our experiences are anecdotal but the ones I know that climbed the corporate ladder the best are the ones who have family connections and/or lie the best. They do come across as charismatic, charming, friendly, because that's what works.

If it comes down to a promotion or raise though, they're obviously not likely to voluntarily give it to someone else who may be more deserving. As a business owner I'm sure you know when companies get larger, people end up being faceless cogs of the machine and the C suite is more concerned with hitting targets for shareholders.

Most people are selfish and amoral. When people like that encounter a decent person, they will do what they can to silence them so they aren't given the chance to expose corruption.

You probably don't like most people because most people are walking sacks of shit who would throw you under the bus if it means benefiting themselves

There are plenty of corrupt people who are never caught, or even caught and let go with little to no consequences due to their influence and money. As much as I want to live in a world where karma exists and assholes get what they deserve, that is unfortunately not the reality we live in.

Business relationships are almost always purely transactional. When you stop being able to supply someone with what they want or at a good price then they will find someone else. The average CEO is not a friendly selfless person, which is why sociopaths find success in the business world.

Do you believe that the majority of people who hold power and influence are genuine philanthropists?

Ya I think sausage buns tend to be a bit denser rather than the softer gummier hot dog buns

Peanut butter bacon hotdog? I would probably try it

Have you tried sausage buns?

Ya it's part of the joke. My old account was ReanuKeeves@lemm.ee

You gotta team up with that other guy to make a hotdog youtube channel

I could see you making short youtube videos like that sandwich guy but for hotdogs

That's why you gotta get your ABV up to help break down the buildup in your arteries

That last line is a fact lol

Vegan dogs are surprisingly good when they're topped up

Cheddar is good but 7-11 chili and nacho cheese dogs eaten drunk will always have a place in my heart
