I think integrity left both American business and politics a long, long time ago. To the extent that it ever existed in those spheres.

I used to be very interested in politics, but lately--someone once told me he was completely bored by the "Game of Thrones" series because it was basically just thousands of pages about power struggles, and he thought power struggles were the most boring thing in the world. Everyone wants power, they'll do anything to get it, blah blah blah. I still think of that and laugh; I tend to agree with him.

If you call it organizational dynamics, though, then I'm fascinated. For all those billions of people who aren't in power--why do we all keep doing the things we do?

Thank you for reading and I'm glad I'm not the only one who just thought "Russia" every time I heard "oligarchy."
