I have come to learn that in corporate America trivial things like physical restraints, functionality, laws of nature, and honestly reality as a whole can be completely ignored. They love this mentality too!

What you actually accomplish and the feasibility of your goals are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is if you can blow enough smoke up the asses of those above you.

Truth and humility simply aren’t compatible with american style business which is why silicon valley conmen are so successful, they can fool the ignorant wealthy

I liked the article except for this:

But are markets are in for a shock, especially when it comes to the fight with America’s single largest trading partner, the European Union? It was created, Mr Trump has previously claimed, to “screw” the United States.

Really dislike this wording

But are markets are in for a shock, especially when it comes to the fight with America’s single largest trading partner, the European Union? An entity Mr trump claims was created to “screw” the United States

So much clearer

Also as an American, I truly hope the EU doesn’t back down. The only way to respond to bullies is to fight back imo.

Been selecting vendors for a new factory. I’ve been actively avoiding US vendors, we landed on a German one and Jesus Christ is the pricing, service, and honestly general knowledge is far far superior to any US vendor. This is of course vendor domain specific but has been my experience for all of our US vendors across 6-12 pieces of equipment. My business is located in the US of course.

Liberalism is just thinly veiled conservatism, when a true leftist emerges the “progressive” party always shows its true face. You can never truly be a progressive party if you exclusively serve the oligarchy while telling the working class you actually support them.

I voted blue in the last election purely because I saw the danger of trump not because the candidates represented my ideas.

Fuck that not again, my vote can be earned though ideological alignment, no more “well at least they aren’t the opponent” bullshit. Be goddamn progressive or don’t get votes (at least mine).

Fucking grok
