JFC, just noticed they didn't remove the cage for that photo.

Step 0.5: Remove the cage

Step 1: Use a sabre, not a scimitar (A chef's knife will do)
Step 2: Point away at a ~45 degrees and clear your field of fire
Step 3: Maintain contact and follow through along the seam towards the cork in a single stroke

Step 0: Ice the cork & neck beforehand for best results

$50k signing bonus, full government benefits, student loan forgiveness and no degree needed is gonna attract a whole lot of people, regardless of the work.

Yo! Jerry!

That's because it is. It's institutionalized to maintain scarcity and inculcate blind obedience to the (primarily white male) hierarchy. See also drill instructors, coaches, and on and on. There is tons of research on why it's not the best way, but it's definitely "the way it's always been done."

A flourish? A riff?

They tell us to Dance if we want to, but then insist we leave our friends behind.

They call this a Safety Dance.

Monsters. All of them.
