No business is perfect, and you need income!

It amazes me the number of accusations thrown at McD's these days.
I do not believe that McD's is to blame for the brunt of the world's
problems. No business is perfect, and if you were to boycott and
refuse to work for every company that has or has had contraversy over
a certain action, or actions, you would be broke, starving, on your
way to an early death due to lack of food, and you would likely be
busted for indecent exposure. You need income, you need food, you need
transportation, and you need clothing. I work for a financial
institution that shall remain nameless. And God knows there has been,
and is, plenty of contraversy regarding the industry that employs me.
I am definitely not a fan of the S & L jam of the late 80's. I know
that it was a bunch of idiot, and many not exactly legal, business decisions
that caused their predicament. And, it was the taxpayer to the rescue!
To add insult to injury, the taxpayer gets thanked by being dumped on by
many of the banks, as a customer (Some charge $3 fees for the PRIVALEGE
of talking to a live teller, and of course most charge a fee for each
check paid.). At least the fast food places that are run right care
enough for the customer to serve decent food, and appreciate the
customer's business. But with many in the banking industry, the
bottom line is where it's at, and the hell with everything else.
I,m sorry for rambling, and I know I put myself at risk for sounding
irrelevent, but to wind everything up, and summarize, I too work for
a contraversial industry. But I need my paycheck like everyone else
does. By the way, I don't have any complaints regarding my department,
and I'm treated well by my superiors. To close, there is nothing
wrong with making money: The problem is when any business cares only
about profit, and makes no effort to earn it.
