How to Change Attitudes

Business Daily

Available for over a year

We look at the latest ruse from Occupy Wall Street to challenge the financial elite. They are buying up debts, the kind of stuff that led to the financial crisis - people's debt obligations bundled up and sold off as securities. But instead of taking the interest and trying to recover the debts they are just writing them off - freeing people from the threat of bankruptcy. And, we have a singing toilet called Louie the loo, part of a new campaign to celebrate the inauguration of the first World Toilet Day - as designated by the General Assembly of the United Nations, no less. Plus, why openly praising people is corrosive and dangerous and can undermine workplace morale.
