I've been out of town since Thursday.
No! It is _not_ glib. What is glib is the pretense that the isolated actions of individuals in their daily life can make a difference to the whole or to others. It is _more_ than glib, it is vicious, to pretend that consumer decisions or the investments of workers can make any difference.
This irritates me so damn much that if I had a few thousand to invest I'd go out and buy stock in Walmart and Dow Chemical early Monday morning.
