I often refer to the current age we in the United States are living in as the Age of Greed. Greed, and many other disgusting character traits of humans, have become virtues of the Conservative right. It comes from this Ayn Rand fueled idea that selfishness and narcism are virtues, and everyone's goal should be to get as wealthy as you can, while helping the least amount of other people, as you crush your enemies. And remember, many of these people are Christians!
This week, let me give you the greatest example of the Age of Greed, and no, it's not Trump. It's the owner and grand poohba of World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon.
McMahon's rise has been littered with disturbing story after disturbing story. There are many God awful traits about McMahon, but how he treats the people who've made him all of his money is by far the worst. The wrestlers he employs are treated as nothing more than disposable cattle. He breaks them and throws them to the curb, acting as if he owes them NOTHING for the pain they endure, leaving them to suffer tremendously as they limp into the remainder of their shockingly shortened lives.
Let me let John Oliver from Last Week Tonight take it from here. Warning bad language, but it's nothing compared to the atrocious way McMahon treats other human beings, human beings which have made him all of his money. Keep a look out for some straight talking from our former Governor, Jesse!
On that disgusting reveal, I hope you have a great weekend, and enjoy the Final Four.
