I'm shocked and a little disappointed that there's no good kubernetes-native way to run a cluster-local CA / mTLS setup that doesn't require a specific CNI OR a bunch of manual operations.
_Vault_ can do this well, why can't anything else?! 😭

Employee Stress Is a Business Risk—Not an HR Problem
Workplace stress, on the rise for decades, has been treated by many organizations as a personal issue instead of a business-critical risk that merits executive oversight. This is likely due in part to the fact that companies have not effectively quantified and tracked the cost stress poses to integral business outcomes. Companies can take charge of the avoidable costs of stress by surveying their workforce and mapping the stress they report onto quantifiable outcomes like revenue, customer satisfaction, and performance evaluations. Understanding how fluctuations in stress impact these outcomes can help businesses come up with and initiate targeted solutions to reduce the likelihood of disruption, protect workforce health, and unlock long-term competitive advantage.

In india this is the caste system in a nutshell
Every election postmortem makes it clear people voted for Trump for two reasons
1. He has a mystical association with money to them, like throwing a coin into a fountain and wishing for wealth
2. They want people “beneath” them to suffer to reinforce that they’re above someone.
