Um...I think someone has serious first world issues. If you think America is cutthroat go to China, it's the one place where GPA goes to seven digits.

America? "Cut throat"? Did you ever pause to think what that means? Jeeeze-o-pete! There are days when I really, really wonder what would happen to the sheep of America if something bad - I mean, really BAD - ever happened.
Sorry, but I'm the son of an American father and a Japanese mother - and my father married my mother, and claimed me. But - when my dad was stationed overseas, I used to see the "wild children" - Amerasian orphans - scrounging the garbage cans and backstreets of the Phillipines, and Korea, Taiwan, and Japan...and the small bodies that were and everyday sight. I worked in the humanitarian relief camps of Africa and Asia, and saw the sick and starving, and the mass graves, and you want to talk about how AMERICA is "cut-throat"? When obesity-related problems is the number one killer in the US, and the number one driver of health costs, sorry, can't see it. Mostly, now that I'm back in the US, what I see is a lot of whining people, crying about how life is unfair, and eating because they've got anxieties.
Yeah. When I start seeing people killing each other over groceries, then I'll grant you "cut-throat".Like (1)

American Corporations have rules - and they make a pretense of obeying them...as opposed to, say, a lot of countries that I've been to, where they don't even make the pretense. I mean, what was that movie - "Pelican Brief"? - where the person had the evidence the Corporation was doing something wrong, and they got it to the Grand Jury? - In most places, even if they'd survived to get it to the government, so what? - At least in America, so far, that sort of thing doesn't happen. More often it is movie thrillers than real life. Stuff like Enron and the dot.com bubble - comes of people investing in stuff they did not understand, letting themselves get led around by the nose. I've got an EE and MS in Management...my regret, is that I was not positioned to make any money off the damn fools that lost all theirs in those fiascos...but I did not lose any to that foolishness, either. and - before you go crying about - "well I didn't go to college because my parents couldn't afford it" - I paid my own way through college. Paid off my loans, too. Worked a lot of nights and PM shifts to do it. My opinion is, more people pulling their weight - and less sitting on their butt and whining about it - might fix a lot of what is wrong in America. Course, I jacked one guy up against a wall the other night...we went to high school together. He was crying about how he ain't got squat since the GM plant laid him off twenty years ago...told me, the reason I've done so well, gone in the military, gone to college, is because I'm a "damn Jap" - and that's how Japs are. Every loser has an excuse.

I don't think it's "cut throat", so much as it's "eat to the death"... lol.

Mostly people who are privileged from birth, as in most countries unfortunately. Some people are lucky and hard working enough to make it by, but so many people work so hard but just struggle every day anyway.

I wonder if you live in one of the big cities or close to one. Usually you feel the pressures there moreso.
