The Most Basic Roadblock
by Miki Saxon
Have you ever wondered if there was a common trait that prohibits, or, at the least, significantly slows down, progress in stuff like climate change, compensation equity, equal opportunity, gender parity, etc.?
Some idea or attitude that throws a wrench in every proposed solution?
There is.
It is something so basic, so obvious, so societally common, so acceptable, that its presence mostly goes unnoticed and, therefore, unmentioned.
And it is intractable.
Ring any bells?
Remember, think simple, obvious and universally known.
Not a secret, not even close.
The watchword of our times.
Money.
The roadblock?
Money now always trumps anything later.
