This is why unregulated capitalism is something only a brainless fool (or a thief) could support
Offline Employees from all five of Canada's big banks have flooded Go Public with stories of how they feel pressured to upsell, trick and even lie to customers to meet unrealistic sales targets and keep their jobs.
The deluge is fuelling multiple calls for a parliamentary inquiry, even as the banks claim they're acting in customers' best interests.
In nearly 1,000 emails, employees from RBC, BMO, CIBC, TD and Scotiabank locations across Canada describe the pressures to hit targets that are monitored weekly, daily and in some cases hourly.
"Management is down your throat all the time," said a Scotiabank financial adviser. "They want you to hit your numbers and it doesn't matter how."

I think there is a problem with both statements.
1) Civilizations aren't created and does not exist because of people who needed to take advantage of others.
Civilizations exist out of spontaneity. They form when there is supply and demand. Usually small markets pop up, then as it starts to grow, a small town, a small city, which as the population grows, leaders appear and they get people to give authority to them, the masses concede the file and rank of the community. Politicians. Police. Army. Fire. Education. Health.
As the population grows, business people and citizens say "we need to do something about crime" so they form a military or police. Politicians say, "well we need to tax you.." that is how it all begins.
2) Vas - I think you agreed with him by mistake. He said "was created by those who needed..." and you said, "Civilization began out of need..."
You'd be replacing one old and tested, consolidated, industry with hundreds of individual and new untested industries. That alone would quadruple costs to users. On top of that, people below the poverty line would lose access to those services that they currently don't have to pay to receive.
That's redistribution of wealth.
For at least the 5th time in this topic alone, there would be no elite groups. Thank you for consistently proving your stupidity.
They could vote for someone else. Duh.
No, what I hate is corporations which have no accountability and no transparency. The government would have accountability and transparency.
Yes actually, you do. Because people are uneducated and think taking their dying kid to a snake oil salesman is superior to the hospital.
Once the education system has been fixed and scam artists are out of work, then the government would be able to drop the need to tell people what services to use. But right now, the public is too uneducated to make an informed decision.
The very act of becoming a social democracy ends elitism.
Roads, defence, police, fire, health, social assistance, employment insurance, pension, food safety, water safety, clean air. In other words, everything people need and nothing people don't.
Yet more demonstrations of your stupidity. That happens now at a far greater extent than it would under socialism.
Because this is capitalism. duh. Every argument you have applies soley to capitalism.
Because they wouldn't have the power or the authority or the time.
Any sufficiently efficient system will appear as magic to those unwilling or unable to understand how it functions.
No, it's not. It's like turning a dictatorship into a democracy to take power from the top and give it to the people.
That is EXACTLY what it is.
I have more knowledge and understanding of human behaviour in my ass than you will ever have.
He won't be a ceo anymore so his greed and corruptness are irrelevant.
A pipe dream attached to a failure of understanding the real problems with education are not post secondary. Not to say universities and colleges don't need a shakeup, but there's no point unless you first fix grades 1 through 12.
Teacher unions don't have anything to do with curriculums. That's school boards you're thinking of.
No they don't. Full access requires not only mechanical tools such as computers, but also the knowledge and experience necessary to determine what information is true and what is false and what is unproved. Something you lack.
Which is a straight path to a new monarchy. The ability to vote should not be determined by funding but by education and demonstrated knowledge and experience.
Because of transparency. duh.
Only if you were stupid enough to think that's where the money was and that you could get away with hiding a scam even though everyone and anyone can see everything you do.
In socialism, the public has all the gold. So how exactly is one individual going to defeat billions?

That's not what I was trying to say. Civilisation arose out of need for civilisation, not out of need for power. I agree I worded my response poorly, and agree with everything you said here.
