I love this, and I’ll even one up it. Let the bubbles burst, this is just a transitional period that you see like a predictable cycle in tech. The dot com burst was like a holocaust compared to this shit. Everyone who was in the tech scene before Google has an easier time with this. We can comfortable watch FAANG recede, and even be grateful for it. Let it happen.

That’s right, I’m too busy hanging out at the beach, Uber’ing, and having corn flakes for dinner.

Well of course, as it stands right now it’s not AI that stops me from slamming a baseball bat into his cunt-face, it’s his security staff.

Are you a dumbass?

There was 2,177 words in the “how to fix” portion of the blog post, you dumbass.

Ohhh shit man, fuck

Cool, let all the dumb fuck time vampires suffer. I won’t be helping anyone with shit. “Shoulda bought a Mac”

That’s fine and all, and I wish it were so. We just live in an economic reality that has been steadily increasing the inequality with consequences such as unaffordable housing, healthcare, and education.

Inflating the debt away is advantageous only if the TCO keeps up. In this case the wealthy get the lion’s share of inflationary increases while many people only see modest cost of living offsets that for two years fell behind inflation. We seldom see years where employers give a cost of living adjustment above the current inflationary rate beyond the current year index, to make up for prior years where they didn’t.

E.g. I see a job posting from 2007 that advertised 65k/year, in the same company with the same role they currently only compensate that same role at about 73k. $65k from 2007 equates to approximately $97k in today’s money. If things were truly equitable and commensurate, and I realize this is an isolated data sample, but it appears to be a common trend across the country.

For the numbers, that’s $24k of income that would be really great to have today.

Too bad we can’t ban Meta, Twitter, and Snapchat while we’re at it.

The solution is simple. Murder them and all their heirs. Begin a new Bastille Day.
