Been saying this about farmers for many years. I grew up on a farm in the 80's, when they were actually poor. The families that made it are now land-baron welfare kings cosplaying as poor.
Their greed is THE reason why rural America is a so shitty now.

Every white collar job listing:
1-2 sentences about your actual core work and value-add to an organization.
3 paragraphs describing administrative busy work that mostly didn't exist 20 years ago.

I feel for that guy. I really do. Because in another life Pete would’ve been on the wrong end of a sock full of soap bars and they’d have sorted him out proper. But now he’s the boss. Given a mantle by an even fatter man. Who deliberately avoided enlistment. And that’s how a lifetime of service ends

Wow. I don't recall being banned from any online place before.
I guess this is a sign of the times.
They've fully embraced "cancel culture" after a decade of cry-bullying about it.

One of my college jobs was tech
support for computer labs. I had after hours access to our NT machines and pinball a lot.
Now I can pretend to be a frame rate hipster.
"meh 120fps on doom is fine but
nothing will ever top pinball at 5k while drinking Surge"

We can't click on the Windows clock on the lower right to glance at the calendar anymore.
This is terrible. All the other methods are multiple clicks away and by the time I get there I've forgotten why I was looking up last Thursday's date.

My dream is for @scalzi.com to write this book. It's dark comedy sci fi that only John can pull off:
There's the stereotypical clash between the good and evil aliens, saving/destroying lesser civilitions across the galaxy.
The evil aliens set their sights on earth...the good aliens can warn us.

It's adorable that tech slop writers still have that Popular Mechanics positive futurism vibe.

Lol, its not 1970. They'd "maximize shareholder value" with that space through 3D CAD before it ever flies. It'd be fully enshitified on day 1.
