This perfectly articulates why and how we got to this point as a country and a society. Our worship of power and status was extremely exacerbated by the introduction of “reality” tv where we were enticed to root for the most obnoxiously selfish person on the show and taught us wealth was easy to come by, you just had to be willing to do what others would not to achieve it.
It got worse after social media came along but it’s not a coincidence that we fell in love with reality tv villains then decided it was a great idea to elevate one to the highest office in the land, twice.
By the way, I love Scott Galloway. He’s been trying to wake people up to the economic realities facing working people. He does a podcast with Kara Swisher.
