I think TPTB and their special interests media know for a long time now they are “losin it”. I would not want to be in their shoes. Big responsibility. They must be scared stiff. They think they know better than the general population. Plus they are stubborn and must have too much pride, and I have NEVER heard the Gov’t or Media ever admit they make a mistake, of which there were many.
When you work in a machine shop or sheet metal shop, and you make a big mistake you can’t lose your temper, stay calm, and you have to tell the boss BEFORE the things get shipped to the customer, get inspected, get rejected, and returned. You have to be a MAN about it.
If you get fired? So be it. A couple of times I saw someone get fired on the spot. One guy bent up 7,000 swimming pool parts backwards. 🙂 Another beginner stamping a part number on thin parts, decided to stamp the number on his thicker “hobby” piece, and busted the entire casting of power press. Totaled it. Gone in a NY minute. 🙂
I’m going out now.

“Elton John was right because for some, sorry does seem to be the hardest word. They say it takes a big person to admit to their mistakes, but for some people, saying they’re wrong feels impossible. Be it your partner, your boss or, god forbid, your in-laws, dealing with somebody who, even when faced with overwhelming evidence of a bungle, just can’t cop blame can be frustrating.
For some conceding that they’re fallible can evoke a deep psychological anxiety regarding “the risks or the consequences associated with loss or failure,” says Dr Sharp.“I think the reason some can’t apologise isn’t actually because they don’t like to be wrong, but because it’s seen as an inherent character fault,” he explains.
Dr Sharp says, for non-apologists the irrational need to be always “perfect” rules their ego and they feel their fuck ups are unforgivable. “The difficulty in admitting failure largely comes from the unrealistic expectation that I should get it right all the time,” he says.
