By crazies I specifically mean the Scaifes and other trust-fund brats, who have been funding the neo-lib counter-revolution for the last thirty years.

Many of them seem - at best - to have personality disorders and/or substance abuse issues. The Bush family seems to be part of that group, and displays all of the delightful traits that make them so distinctive as a group.

These are highly toxic and confused people, and we're all paying for their illnesses now.

But beyond that - management probably attracts authoritarian types, but I don't think all management is bad by definition.

The problem - as you say - is which behaviours are rewarded. And with the crazies in charge, they won't be the right ones.
