Read a tweet by someone at CNBC that Steve Jobs was likely the only CEO that “Joe Six Pack” knew by name. The tweet even said “Warren Buffett? Isn’t that the guy with the margaritas?” Seriously? Is the general public so completely uninformed? I have a hard time believing that but maybe I shouldn’t. I’m not saying everyone needs to know the name of the CEO’s of every Fortune 500 company. But come on people. Read. Something besides US magazine. <\/p>\n
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. At election time, people have so many opinions about how they have been wronged and how they want things changed but I bet half those same people don’t know who their own representative is. Or the voting record of their favorite candidates. Or where they stand on most issues. They might just know their standing on 1 issue in particular. I am pretty sure this is how most people vote. And probably explains a lot about why our system is so completely broken. <\/p>\n
But good thing a lot people know all about Snooki’s one night stands. And the minute by minute life choices of the Kardashian family. <\/p>\n
