Chris Cantell Discusses Business: We Have to Start Again Without Loosing Our Will.
by Milota Sidorova
It has remained me of Johnatan Barnbrook’s artwork titled: ‘A Society That is Truly Happy Never Really Needs to Show it!’ In its original quotes we’re talking of a poster showing proletarians North Korean visions. There’s plenty of smiling working people and the bless of technological progress.
Why do I mention it right here in the middle of bleak economic times when we seem to be reduced merely to watch evening news frustrating our twice as troubled situation?
What is the reason? What is the connection?
Let’s call it just a negative double vision optic. We are overwhelmed by such amount of information that suggests how desperate we are. And if we believe that, we may give it all up.
So, I would like to tell you that signs of true sadness and despair are not possible to express in our society. We can’t understand why and what has happened, we are not able to show such kind of empathy. Not if we listen to media. Not if we listen to politicians.
Not if we listen to our system.
I appreciate laws and the regulations as a perfect tool to maintain our society. However, the rules have become double sided and the laws are not equal.
What has remained is our sense of humanity and our never ending taste to begin again.
I am not happy with more than 110,000 fired Wall Street workers as well as I am not happy with reductions in construction, industrial and retail sector. Thursday is the day when the weekly job claims report hits the market. Logically there’s an immediately response.
Yesterday, most of the biggest banks operating in Wall Street reported significant job cuts.
Comparing to last year’s more than 153,000 unemployed people coming from financial sector, this year the watchers forecast the rate will hit more than 200,000.
If you are passing New York these days, you might be able to see a strange street performance that is, unfortunately 100 percent reality show. Groups of former financial advisers and officers are dancing and playing the musical instruments just few meters from the doors to the world’s biggest market. ‘Bail us out’, the titles on their boxes say. That’s the last call these Americans may send to those who told them so. Those who due limiting risk and reducing dwindling profits, put their names on the black list.
You just look on this sad show and go your own way. But the reality remains for these people.
It’s quite difficult to find a similar job out of Wall Street that has been in the focus of big mama’s government.
Most of them carry on with completely different career. It’s been just a few days, I have seen the most beautiful BBC report on youtube channel. It was about one of thousands unknown financiers left on their own. However, this man didn’t give up. After several unsuccessful interviews with smaller advising companies he decided it was time to change a direction of his life. He said, his children never understood it, but he became an English teacher in one of the marginal schools in Harlem. His students are mostly poor youngsters who are not very far from bright criminal future. This is the place of drugs, real unemployment and social crisis.
This is real America’s problem. It is not the Iraq or Pakistan or another big media spot.
These are the people who will lead our planet for the next generation.
As for this man, he seemed to be satisfied and he’s doing more good for this society than on Wall Street.
