Most people I know start at 2010.

Uh…

I’ve seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don’t use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.

It’s bad to take the fiber out of sugar bombs? Who knew?

I approve this.

Is this why grandma has an OnlyFans?

Not really. I have unavoidable financial obligations coming soon that I will need this payrate for. I actually love the work I do, too, but I have a distaste for the employer, so it’s a weird feeling. I get to play with Linux and containerization and Python, which I love, and I’m generally self-managed, so the only thing wrong with the job is that, at the end of the day, my work feels wasted where I’m doing it. On the other hand, I use the skills I gain at work outside of work on OSS stuff, so it’s an OK tradeoff.

I do. I’m riding out the clock. I’ve already put the time in and am grandfathered into better retirement/severance benefits than I could get anywhere else. I hate it, but I have a family to feed.
