Not Capitalist Or Communist

Not really about Capitalism or Communism
The problem that life in general has gone down the drain ever since the break-up of the West vs East and really ended when Y2K came.
Look, SR had the best paid pilots in the World earning CHF 200'000 just before it went bust and for so long it was the World's best capitalist airline.
Now, the problem is you get these wankers called consultants such as McKinsey who are get huge fees in how to give rotten advice all in the name of "Shareholder Value".
Indeed McKinsey sunk SR (cost CHF 20 bn) and IT (Air Inter) by saying that should merge with AF and the result is now AF is costing tax-payers billions to keep on life-support.
Remember the Chrysler and MB merger?
Another huge flop just as HP and Compaq thanks to those geniuses from McKinsey.
The problem is that Boards are staffed by jackals and vultures out to stuff their pockets whilst sinking their respective companies they're meant to fly.
So greed meets corruption in an heavenly match and were just mere cogs and pegs.
I have to say that deregulation was the biggest mistake ever and getting of flag-carriers total madness which gave way to McDonald-type contrats in the industry.
LCCs screw their pax and crews.
