Wow, and I even went through 8 years of French.. But it's been too long.. Really nice, King Jargon, compliments..

Whatever you do, from cleaning toilets to being a Wall Street broker, you must do it first and foremost for yourself, not to please those above you. And you know... even though my "adventure" lasted "only" just under 5 years, I came out with my head held high. Especially for not giving an ignorant rich person the satisfaction of hearing me say "Yes, sir." Never done it, and I never will. So yes... It's the worker who makes a company great. This once-great company may belittle him, crush him, etc. But he will always have the chance to piss on their heads and look for something else if he believes in his abilities and wants to get back in the game. I know it's hard, if not impossible, to "change" nowadays, but in the end, it's always those who have been let go who suffer the most. The company loses a skilled worker, has to hire another one, leading to losses in both production and training time, and if mismanaged, it will continue to lose valuable people and will eventually collapse over time. A good skilled worker will always have the opportunity to "get back in the game."

You know Stoney, I used to have a shit job, busting my ass 9 hours a day plus 4 on Saturday mornings, and they only paid me 40 a week, plus they always screwed me out of some vacation time every month, and I had to see all sorts of crap (favoritism and various brown-nosing) every day. Safety was a fantasy and I often got hurt, but always superficial stuff, so I just kept working and shut up. I was at the bottom of the chain, the one who "fed the machine" and the machine fed the company of a slimy bastard (imagine Mr. Burns, both physically and financially), but every day I tried to do my job the best I could and I was proud of it, because every damn day I gave my best, but not to enrich and satisfy Montgomery, but for personal satisfaction. After all, if I or my colleague didn’t make the machine run, it wouldn’t eat. To be able to say: "Even if I’m doing a shit job, I try to do it in the damn best way I can." Self-esteem and believing in one’s abilities, that’s what makes a man great (in my opinion) and consequently gives merit and quality to the company he works for.

@Stoney: there are also socially useful jobs... Once, there were people who, to have workers' rights recognized, would chain themselves to factory gates and halt production for days, getting beaten by police day in and day out. But the boss would lose substantial capital... Reflect on the fact that if that "everyone" stops and doesn't give "food" to the machines, they won't produce anything at all. The thing is, today we strike for a few hours and on alternate days, with injunctions, various threats, and instead of joining these protests, one might rather go to the beach or who knows where, rather than being present for their rights. It's the worker who makes a company great. If the company stops, it collapses. Rebellion can be extremely useful if used with the right means, not intermittently. Remember that everyone works and works 8 hours (in the vast majority of cases, excluding public offices, of course), with rights to sickness, injury, etc... Something that you could only imagine in the post-war years. They achieved great results with blood, strikes, and sacrifice, while we are throwing everything away, including your comment. If you don’t want the factory for toxic paints, you should camp out there 24 hours a day; didn’t one man stop the tanks?

P.S.: I'm not exactly thrilled about getting fucked in the ass, you know?! Just thought I’d let you know...

The solution? Gather, I don’t know, 1, 2, 3, 4, 50 million people somewhere in Rome and pay a little visit "home" to the oligarchs, maybe we’ll wake a few up properly, given that many are even sleeping on the benches. The only solution is for the people ("sovereign") to take back power. Let me know the time and day, I'll be there... With all my ENTHUSIASMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

I quote all comments, except for the review.

@PUNISHER: I'm anxiously waiting for you to get lost, but it never happens, and I always find you here with your insightful comments sprinkled with silly grins... But I hope for it every day. Hope is the last to die. :-) As for the movie, I wanted to see it yesterday, but my daughter completely dismantled the so-called... "Daddy, can we go see Alice?" "It's not a movie for you! I think it’s a bit scary, you know?" "Daddy, can we go see Alice?" "What if you get scared?" "Daddy, I want to see Alice!" "You know that 'want' doesn't exist for me?" "Come on Daddy, please, let’s go see Alice?" "Okay, sweetie, we’ll go see Alice, but I warned you, if it scares you later, don’t say I didn’t tell you so!" Today’s kids, you really have to knock some sense into them directly, or you'll never get out of it. Anyway, the theater was full, zero seats. We ended up watching Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, maybe it was for the best… Ah, I realized that today, to go to the cinema and then have dinner for three, you need to take out a fixed-rate mortgage…

ONE IN A THOUSAND MAKES ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

And tell me, with this CV (oh, he decriminalized the crimes and he did it for us), would you have the courage to send someone like that at the helm with an innocent little cross on a nice symbol? I wouldn't even let him on the bumper cars. That's all, I'm done.
