to the knees and you're still going home putting themselves money beyond the dreams of avarice in most people's eyes and they really think it was but sometimes i meet them socially. when you understand this is how capitalism works i say this is not how capitalism work this is talk up a blue one goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. none . of your serious. no no i'm the best person to speak on behalf of the wall street that is i sit across from them. you know i see the humanity of the people on wall street are working harder now than ever before not knowing whether they could ever move up the ladder and when will this rat race and for the. doctor all didn't pass this exam because psychologists and probably more than anything else. is known for helping people manage
12:49 am
i'm certain. and maintain optimal motivation and performance in times of uncertainty. but. it's become a mission for me to help people out there in this rough time because i feel like in my practice as a psychologist my clients are looking to me for answers my dissertation is the first study in the united states conducted in the last fifty years it was called casualties of wall street and assessment of the walking wounded and my findings basically showed that we are currently in a crisis of connectivity. little

12:52 am
entire continent to southern california. and i had a good job. heterosexual show of a life was good i was thinking about going to hollywood be the next tom cruise or somebody you know me. but it didn't happen my to. feel that mainstream school is a great place for kids who are even slightly above the curve. so would probably homeschool if they're not staying on track meeting the milestones meeting the goals they need to meet it's going to impact long term what their outcome looks. no challenge is more urgent no debate is more important we can either settle for a country where
12:53 am
a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of americans barely get by. or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of weights. it's not the case that inequality is attributable to bad apples but rather that the barrel is bad the barrel is what's contaminating the apples it's the institutions that prioritize getting ahead above all else that it's ok to break the law if that means that you're going to make more profits for the company with no attention to what the consequences are for the system as a whole. what i object to is the feeling that some mechanism out about which you can do nothing to that's not simply not true chief if you want to change this they can change it and never.
