The document, presented by a group of business people generally associated with a respectable degree of prosperity, proposes more rationally organized state administration, and want the things we say about one another to be positive and to start working together.
Now, I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but if people have been saying bad things, one should answer the question, why?
Actually, people all over the world are basically involved with bad mouthing one another as part of a power struggle. But in the Gold Rush climate of post-Soviet business environment, many of the bad things said about these people are justified. Greed is our enemy, and in the Gold Rush, greed is paramount for wildly successful business.
So, is it unreasonable to think that greed might be involved in this move as well? Rational organization is a euphemism for increased profits. What about transparency? What about social justice? I’m not convinced these businessmen are excessively concerned with anything but increased profit.
