  • That’s the equivalent of 32.5 8-hour workdays for a total of just over a full month of work for one year. Must be nice essentially having 11 months to fuck around doing fuck all for $3 million. It’s also roughly $11,500 an hour in terms of pay.

    The thing is, this is actually how all the high level jobs are. A bunch of do nothing fuckwits.

    They bitch about nobody wanting to work anymore because they are projecting their own lack of desire to work onto others. They think poor people must be shiftless layabouts just like them because they have no empathy or imagination to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

    All high level executives should be required to work as many hours as their lowest level employees and bullshit meetings that could have been an email or zoom meetings where they say “nothing to add on my end” don’t count towards that total.







  • “One last thing,” said Beatty. “At least once in his career, every fireman gets an itch. What do the books say, he wonders. Oh, to scratch that itch, eh? Well, Montag, take my word for it, I’ve had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They’re about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they’re fiction. And if they’re nonfiction, it’s worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another’s gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost.

    Captain Beattys all.





  • I think that’s a fair take, but I believe the person you’re replying to was more looking at how the US under Trump is currently saber rattling with:

    • Greenland
    • Venezuela
    • Mexico
    • Canada
    • Iran

    While it would be one thing if the US was only saber rattling with Canada, but they’re actively courting wars with up to five different nations, including one in the Eastern hemisphere, all at once. I believe the point they were making is that it would be impossible for the US to handle all those wars, even if it’s conceivable that they could invade and take over Canada alone. Greenland is being actively threatened to the point that NATO soldiers are being sent there, Canada is not being actively threatened in the same way. Mexico is also being threatened with military action to “stop the cartels” (which probably means just taking over the cartels).
