The little and big picture

Blain’s Morning Porridge/Bill Blain

“However, it’s at the individual level where things really start to happen.  It’s a single pebble shifting that triggers a landslide. It’s the butterfly flapping its wing…. You know the story. Maybe the tipping point is a worker who just lost their job in a cinema because some exec decided to delay a film release. Or maybe it’s in the petty bureaucratic pain of trying to deal with a bank, or get an appointment to get your eyes tested. (I’m told the number of homeworkers suffering eye strain has gone through the roof.) As we get more and more frustrated and annoyed, there is an increasing sense that nothing really works or makes much sense anymore.  Our anger and sense of injustice is rising. Whoever shouts loudest seems to get all the attention. Things just ain’t working. Nothing seems to make sense anymore.  We are losing faith in decision-makers.”

USAGOLD note:  Some organizations have adapted very well to the new abnormal while others haven’t a clue. We all find ourselves separating the wheat from the chaff in that regard these days – and it soaks up valuable time. As for the bigger picture – the macro-political and economic scene – Blain is onto something. Things just don’t seem to be working very well.
