We will all survive, unless we push our luck and William Paley’s Divine Watchmaker is clear on the subject: God may not exist, but something up there does, that cannot be controlled by mere humans.
It does not matter that each and everyone of us think we have an immense IQ and are better than the rest of mankind: We may be smarter than others, yet, in front of a PANDEMIC we are all equal and highly vulnerable.
If greed is still motivating some in these pre-plague days, it is but a matter of days or weeks before reason rules again: once gasoline runs out and our trucks can no longer bring vital provisions to market, once every single gun has been sold (to the wrong people, as usual) once medication has been stockpiled to the rafters by those who do not need it, then what?
Unless our government does the right thing, social upheaval will turn our country into a bad Mel Gibson movie. Send our army, army reserves, national guard, fire fighters and medical corps where they are the most needed.
The rest of us? We can volunteer or stay home. Would you trade you life and that of your family to keep your hotel open one more week?
Benoit Gateau-Cumin - Chief Recruiting Officer. Born and raised in France, Benoit managed to scoop up a French law degree prior to studying Hotel Administration at Cornell University. Upon graduation in 1975, he engaged in an eleven-year hotel management career that took him to Chicago, New York, Washington DC, San Diego, Istanbul, Jamaica and Hawaii. He held positions with Omni, Hyatt, Hilton International, ITT Sheraton and Méridien, as well as Honolulu’s unique Halekulani, consistently rated as one of the world’s best.
Benoit was bit by the “headhunting” bug in 1986, and has not relented yet. He founded The Boutique Search Firm in February 1992. His motto: small is beautiful. Benoit loves to mountain bike, take long walks with his wife Susana and their two dogs, and tinker with his budding collection of classic English sports cars.
