Following Day: Rethinking the point.
This blog entry yesterday wandered around with the idea of Stakeholder. The point is this: By some divine right of our Money System that uses Money for resource allocation decisions confers upon those individuals and entities that have the most money the majority vote on any issue where other Stakeholders have a non-monetary interest like quality of life for the common good or guaranteed personal rights not to be infringed upon.
The point: He/She/It that has the Gold........Rules!
Those that don't?
Don't matter!
Money dominates our politics, our governance. Trump and his administration (our government) is all about money as a tool that grants them and their special interests to be the most important Stakeholders to decide how the power of their position and money is to be used and for what purpose.
That purpose is the point: Money for the sake of making More Money.....for them and their tribe.
The Stakeholder Common Good and General Welfare values? Buy their vote with promises of Money (from Jobs).
The business of America is Business!
We can perceive our country in a number of binary entity ways. Republican/Democrat in a political framework for example.
It looks to me like the highest level division in our country is classic Management/Labor. The classic rule there is that if Management does not make a profit (and take the most from profit for themselves first) there is no money for workers called labor jobs.
Management's Stake in the entire system is entirely monetary to enhance their quality of life agenda.
Labor has a monetary stake in a job.
There is a third party Stakeholder that has agenda and interests of the General Welfare. IT has members in both Management and Labor that consider non-monetary matters and benefits to the public to be at least mitigating or balancing and sometimes even exceeding the the Stakeholder with Money as its dominating decision making argument.
That third party is the people. People that will be in the streets on the 20th of Jan. 2017.
Stakeholder is a pendulum that swings. It has swung to the 1% with the money, put more of them in power in government. It must begin to swing back toward the interests of the 99%.

The Management solution to compensate those that are losing out in the way the system works to benefit the common good? It is.........Give them money in compensation for what they have lost in the the non-monetary common good and general public welfare! The Management Team the Public elected will sell off (monetize) Public Assets by sale to Private Interest. Give a one time benefit payment to the public. Collect rent forever. Everything is all about money, all reduced to money and the money value expression of everything......at least in the frame of relatively few Stakeholders with a whole lot of money and money power as well as political power.
Previous day wandering:::::.........follows.
Stakeholder is an ambiguous term. Wikipedia finds it necessary to disambiguate it in order to describe it. This is a broad attempt at dis-ambiguation but does narrow the problem domain of stakeholder sub-types. The sibling Children inheriting distinguishing attributes, methods and messages of it birthing Parent. (that's Object Oriented framework thinking)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeholder
Children of the Parent:Stakeholder........are IAW Wikipedia:
- Stakeholder (corporate), an accountant, group, organization, member, or system that affects or can be affected by an organization's actions
- Stakeholder (law), a third party who temporarily holds money or property while its owner is still being determined
- Project stakeholder, a person, group or organization with an interest in a project
Kinda pathetic but it offers a way to define the Object:Parent:Stakeholder in terms of the collective common set of Attributes, Methods and Messages inherited by Object:Parent:Children (and wandering down this yellow brick road of Child inheritance: Children of Children of Children...etc.)
It's a Family Thing. Or, in my Object Oriented OO:Speak: Thing:Family. A Parent is known by the bottom up assembly of all the common Object traits of its Children.
What common Object Attributes, Methods and Messages do all the Children:Ducklings of Duck:Mama possess?
They Walk and Quack. Those are actions. Actions implement Attributes Ducklings share because they inherited them and the linked associated ability to implement them with Methods and Messages from a Parent. In this case "Object:Parent:Stakeholder.
Every thing is a Child of a Parent. An Instance of a higher level conceptual Conceptual Class. The Family Tree goes up as well as down.
What Conceptual Object is the Parent of Stakeholder in OO:Speak.
What does Stakeholder walk an quack like? What by its actions does it look most like a child of?
This is what I say in my version of OO:Speak..........
Money!
Stakeholder walks and quacks like a Child of the Object:Parent:Money
Object, Parent, Child expressed as Object:Parent:Child are simply universal conceptual placeholder terms until we replace them with specified entities. Specified with a Family name having specified Attributes, Methods and Messages. Its all a tree. Right side up or upside down. Top down or bottom up. Look at it either way.
Stakeholder as a Child of Money is a Use Case Thing. In this Case: The way it generally behaves applying the "Walks Like, Quacks Like" analysis of reality. From the way it behaves, it Parental Lineage is inferred.
However, unlike human Parent/Child relationships where two Parents contribute attributes to make and instance of the Class:TwoParent it takes a village to create a conceptual child of the higher level object ParentVillage.
Success has many Parents.
Failure by definition has only one.
If a Child is not the product of at least more than a single parent then it can't have any children because by definition the Child of a single parent can't exist. It is a null, I guess.
The Parent of Money?
Whatever two or more Objects created it.
Parent of Money?
Debt.
Parent of Debt?
A balance sheet equation: Some thing = No Thing (absence of the same thing)
Parent of the creation of the balance sheet equation?
The Ultimate Stakeholder with interest in the equation.
Bankster.
Money is a counter party thing. It takes more than a Bankster Stakeholder vested interest. It takes a recipient Object of the action lending.
Business.
Money is the decision making tool medium of exchange.
The concept of Stakeholder is generally framed in terms of a relationship with Money determining who a Stakeholder in the matter is. The entity that has the most money involved in the matter, whatever it may specifically be becomes the most important Stakeholder, having the most power to influence or control a decision on the basis of the most money invested or to be derived from the decision.
Other stakeholders with non-monetary interests in the matter are secondary by virtue of those with a monetary interest involved frame the issue monetary to their self interest benefit.

The rich Stakeholders in Trump's administration. They got rich by serving themselves well as the primary Stakeholder and benefactor of their work. How much concern will they have for Stakeholders in our country called citizens? They tend to be from business sectors closely related to their financial Stakeholdings.
I got mine. I'm aboard. Pull up the ladder!
Money interest or ownership must not necessarily confer dominant decision making power those claiming to be the most important Stakeholder in any public matter.
