  1. hmm. I think the core issue is the stock market was setup to work around a manufacturing economy. hiring, training, creating and valuing a relationship with your clients was just completely different than it is now. and yes now its nothing but short term decisions to drive out results needed NOW. the consumer is the ultimate loser. I left a public company in 2019 and - from the time of being public first (2012) through to '19 we just upped the price and lowered quality. over and over again. We went from spending 80% of our time on client facing work to more like 20 or 30% of our time. We bought more companies, murdered the products, and then dissolved half the staff. rinse and repeat. It was at the point in our particular industry that clients would tell us "please don't buy company X" as we really need their work. I felt like we were the fucking borg. Just murdering competition and eliminating options for our clients. but we of course had a motto of CUSTOMERS FIRST. uh huh paging @hayden_horn to corporate red phone. Past that, i trace most this past decade of shit back to the bank bailouts and making money free. Such an incredible disservice to the American consumer. Greatest goddamn heist ever.
  2. tor.bush.gif.gotdamn man

  7. i don't know. i think the stupidity of him (and his cabal), and also willingness to spew random jibberish, is very much an attraction to his voters not even talking about the other shit. the racism, sexism, regardism and other isms they loved him for
  8. im in gtown and it when i walk outside it feels like everyone in the world is throwing warm wet raw oysters at me
  9. so what evil genius shit is the world's most incapable brain dead old leader now pulling off?
  10. i still just can't get over the police response and the various threats made by the local gov and the police against some of the mothers and journalists. wtf. the latter is actual censorship that many bitch and complain about every fucking time some doesn't agree with them. the former is the culture of the police we have been complaining about since forever on every goddamn iteration of the board. and here we are. dicks in hand. nothing. just nothing. at least school is out.
  11. huh. she looks exactly like i would have expected. imagine that.
  12. there certainly seems to be an uptick in NBA going NFL goon lately
  13. thanks for this post. i read all 11ish pages of this thread this morning. your posts, and others on here, that were interacting with the trumpers was well, strange. If you get what has happened, what is happening, and what you see in real time posted on this thread - what is left to understand? I read people barking back at the accusation/confession of this being a ploy to deflect from biden I read people bitching about how laborsome Benghazi was. I read people still interacting with the trolls. here is the deal - they aren't trolls. Either you are an American, or they are. You both can't be any longer. And no rational exchange of ideas, evidence, or stories of any kind will change that. There is no mechanism for correction left. We can both sides it, whatabout it, and goatfuck it but we cannot have any rational conversation about it. That ship has sailed. This is no different than dealing with that bearfucker in Moscow. Same Same. As @washparkhorn has mentioned numerous times - we are up against a wall of nihilism. anyway back to laughing at this mess best I can. slowest civil war ever
