A CEO that doesn't realize an extra $50 a week can make a huge difference to quite a few employees may be wildly successful at their job but it doesn't make them good at it

Elon and Bezos blowing up damn near every rocket they get their filthy paws on and still being given cookies like good smart bois is the complex tech equivalent of privatized health care in the United States

When you still drive the only car you ever purchased new (2011 Chrysler 200) and you have a local hard drive aux that hasn't been updated in eons but it plays Blue Collar Man by Styx and Mistadobalina by Del the Funky Homosapien back to back and they still hit exactly like the baby jebus intended
