Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.
Today’s episode was originally, Episode-938- Understanding the Problems vs the Symptoms and originally aired on July 10th 2012. The notes below are the original notes from that episode.
Yesterday I included a response to a claim by a listener that Walmart was “destroying America”. In doing so I didn’t claim Walmart was a fine company or that they should be supported.
I simply pointed out that all the big businesses that compete with them did the same types of things. That a boycott of Walmart would accomplish little and we could actually use large companies like Walmart more effectively to get rid of specific products like “pink slime”.
Well, you guys say I have it wrong, really? What do I have wrong? My view is this is a deeper problem where a specific grudge and anger blind people to the truth. Walmart isn’t the problem, it is but a symptom of the actual problem.
Going to war with Walmart in the current system is like giving a headache patient an aspirin and thinking it will fix the problem. It might feel better but the problem remains.
This isn’t just a corporate issue, it is a government one and a monetary one, in fact that is the entire point.
When there is an illness if you are a good doctor the symptoms are used only to diagnose the illness and you correct the imbalance in the system that is the root cause.
The reality is if you only treat the symptom, the illness gets worse. You can cut out a tumor yet a cancer patient will often still die.
