BUT AT LEAST HE'LL FIX THE ECONOMY RIGHT?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Had to fix my 6-year-old car's broken air conditioning a few months ago.

It was $1000 dollars.

$100 for labor, NINE HUNDRED for the SINGLE part they replaced.

Because the part is made exclusively by Ford, so they set the price.

And there went 9 months of my savings.

Fuck America.

The fact that a portion of my taxes goes to US Senators recieving an 80k furnishing stipend for their Capitol hill offices when they all know damn well they already have PLENTY of money... really just tells me everything I need to know about this government's priorities.

This country is a failure.

I'm theorerically supposed to make like 2.5k per paycheck. After being gouged for taxes (scam), insurance (scam), utilities (gouged), groceries (gouged), and rent (rises every year for no fucking reason) I walk away with literally like 100 dollars.

"BUT AT LEAST HE'LL FIX THE ECONOMY!!" they said.

50k a year is no longer enough to afford a 2-bedroom apartment because Shitfuck McManager just NEEDS to buy an extra summer home. I literally cannot afford rent and am moving out of a place that was FINE 2 years ago because of rampant, government-endored inflation.

Fuck America.

And then Asshole Nadella- or whatever any corporation's CEO's name is- decides they deserve even MORE money, and they hike their products' prices just because they fucking can.

And then I lose my apartment, because my paycheck is slower than the inflation these assholes willingly cause.

Except it's not their cash, it's their COMPANY's cash. So when their bullheaded investment in bullshit tech fails, THEY aren't responsible. Instead, Joe Cubicle gets laid off and loses his house while the moron actually handling the money and making bad decisions keeps his million-dollar paycheck.

"But if the product is so useless, why do investors fall for it?"

Because investors have money to throw around, and in this day and age, anyone with money to throw around has obviously never lived or worked in the real world. It's a circlejerk of rich people passing around cash like blunts.

As the security person rummaged through, I started glancing around me - you know the nervous look at the person behind you in the queue, where you're trying to reassure yourself by reassuring them that "it'll be OK"?

I did that.

I am tempted to go on a longer discussion of this but I am on vacation. But as someone who leads the design department and hires and mentors designers, using chatGPT to write your design specs is antithetical to the role and job responsibilities of a designer.

Yeah the fact that only like 5 of the award winners get to give speeches and the other 80% of the show is just trailers and promos is... yeah

Imagine wasting that much money on a pet project and not only do you keep your job but you get a bigger bonus than ever. I literally cannot imagine this even though it's exactly what these execs get. The privilege of fucking up repeatedly with zero consequences.
