People feel they are not participating in the decision-making process. Decisions are exclusive to those at the very top. You have grown up with crony capitalism and it creates ever more resentment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes, people aren't as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
People feel that decisions about their jobs, the way their children are educated, how their church functions, and products they buy are made by someone and some place so distant that they can't find anybody to talk to that has any influence over them.
I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.
Society is becoming less and less transparent. People no longer know where decisions that substantially affect their lives are taken, nor by whom, nor how.
I understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.
People aren't able to make decisions anymore because there's too many choices within that decision.
Crony capitalism is essentially a condition in which... public officials are giving favours to people in the private sector in payment of political favours.
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Crony capitalism is much easier than competing in an open market. But it erodes our overall standard of living and stifles entrepreneurs by rewarding the politically favored rather than those who provide what consumers want.
Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
