Without saying who or where, I was at an event not too long after all this broke out, talking to an older woman, quite successful, who'd been in the business a long time. And she said something I think about a lot, because it helps explains why people so often disappoint you:
I hate every single possible thing about this, and I'm heartbroken about all of it.

Apparently there are new plans to tackle "illegal people smuggling".
Which implies the existence of legal people smuggling.

Oh no! I missed the Black Friday sales!
I guess I'll just have to buy it for the price it was before they raised the price so that they could discount it back to the original price for Black Friday then.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

I’m long past the stage when I assume I must be missing something during a fancy new Tesla product launch. I just assume everything is a peepo got-your-nose trick to keep the stupider investors hooked in, rather than a real product. This is a small ugly bus that looks uncomfortable and unsafe.
If you stop looking at the Robovan pictures and just repeat “A bus, but it can only carry 20 passengers” over and over again, eventually you start to understand the intellectual bankruptcy of not just Musk but most of Silicon Valley.

Based on feedback I'm updating Hatred and Bread to Complaining and Cheese.
French self-stereotypes are interestingly different from what outsiders think, e.g.
The French are passionate.
French: No, that's Italy.
The French are romantic.
French: No, that's Spain.
The French are into weird sex.
French: No, that's Germany.
What are the French into?
French: Hatred and bread.
