There has been a drive in our culture to promote the narrative that being sh!tty to other people will get you further.
We get constant accounts of sociopaths in both politics and business espousing a "money before people" set of priorities.
The irony is, it only works if enough people buy in.

Remember, the same people who wailed and ground their teeth at the idea of "participation trophies" believe a student should get a passing grade despite not fulfilling the expectations on her college paper.... because she cited the Bible in it.

When they (wrongly) said it was Ozzy encouraging suicide, we had to have a national discussion about what music we should allow in the marketplace.

Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?

The people who grew up in an unprecedented era of economic stability after World War II want you to believe this level of abundance was always the norm, and that it's decline is due to the ethical failings of the generations that followed.
It's a fairy tale and it has always been such.

Who remembers when Elon and Donald, two people they right have propped up as "job creators" laughed and patted each other on the back regarding how many people they have fired.
They seem to think there will still be a great economy even if no one has any money to spend.
Which is insane.

The alarming trend I'm seeing in 2025 is that companies are quietly laying off employees and replacing their positions with AI.
This means that even if the economy improves, those jobs are not coming back.
So where will these people work? What will this do to our economy?

Hey all there out there in BlueSky land.
I just wanted to take a moment to say "Thanks" for putting up with, and occasionally liking, the stupidity churned out on this account.
Lots of stuff wrong in the world at the moment but taking a beat to be thankful for the people I have in my life.

I think this sums Musk up perfectly.
The man has more money than he can ever spend in a lifetime. He has almost infinite choice in how to spend his free time. His idea of fun?
"Make fun of someone's appearance at a party."
Yeah, life well spent, Scrooge McFuck!

His staff will tell him in private it can't be done.
He will then say that Biden/Obama/Democrats are responsible for the check not coming.

Something about a dude who has been running the same stupid con's over and over again telling the rest of the nation "You people need to learn!"
Meanwhile he knee-caps the Department of Education.

Anybody who has ever been of worth to their employer and has ever stood up for themselves will be familiar with this rhetoric.

Or a person refusing to do the job they campaigned for and still believing they are entitled to a paycheck.
