I agree, investing in people is a noble endeavor. But people are not ‘resources’. Soil, iron, grain, oil, livestock — those are resources. Resources are things to be used for some purpose, to be consumed and stripped of their value.

Humans should never be treated that way. It is for this reason that I object heavily to the present corporate lingo trends of identifying workers as ‘resources’ rather than ‘people’. It dehumanizes them. It makes abuse okay. The machine I work on, that’s a Resource. I am a Person.
