I could only get half way through that video. I had to stop it before I punched someone in the face.
You should maybe read the book, 'Catch22.' Don't watch the movie, first, though. Back in the early '80's, when I went to work for a small company that had a long-standing corporate structure, I nearly pulled all of my hair out, trying to adjust to all of the brown-nosing, coffee room politics, chickenshite behavior, buzz-words, etc. At the time, I was deep into my WWII history obsession, and I was reading a lot of stuff by guys like Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, to get alternative viewpoints. Both of these guys were WWII veterans with very left-wing views and Joseph Heller was a master of the absurd and cynical, especially about government, the military, and religion.
I must have read the 3/4 of the book that was funny at least a dozen times, because I could identify the characters in it as people I was working around. From that point of view, it was absolutely hilarious, the way those people drove the 'hero' crazy. WWII veterans would have absolutely hated it, but it was funny to me.
DEMS like to use Clearly and Move Forward...............
Yeah, but Move Forward into WHAT? The left always likes to say we need to keep moving. I kinda liked it where I was!
One passionate word of advice on my part is, "The Grass Ain't Always Greener on the OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE!!!"
Some more advice from an OLD FART: Appreciate what you got, change is only good if really needed. Don't change for the sake of change.
Another thing I'll say about people wanting all this change, and some of it is directed at Minorities. I feel we're First and Goal and now we want to Punt!!!
How's that for a Change?
From the signing of the Magna Carta through all the improvements until our U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, we have made gains for the common man. Now we want to can it all and give the rains back to the Monarchy in the name of CHANGE!
We've learned some bitter lessons but we've done away with slavery and put women on equal footing with me, and we are moving toward true equality of Opportunity.
Now we want to go back to the year 1100?
Just leave us our God, Guns, and Money, and You Can Keep the CHANGE!
How's all that for some BUZZ WORDS?
Daddy, what's an enabler?
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

We could have our first Oompa Loompa as POTUS.
