Nobody wants this shit.
Will this get me a step closer to the desired idiocracy where I can just veg in a comfy chair and watch Ow My Balls on a massive TV screen that is mostly covered in advertisements?
Larry never gave a fuck about Oracle's customers. In fact he made his billions specifically at the expense of the customer base. Why would he suddenly grow a heart now?
Starmer has no interest in controlling actual illegal immigration (the "boat peoples"). He only wants to make the average brit more surveilled.
Engineers want more design and more testing, but management just wants them to push shit out the door now so $$$ can be made.
This is why manufacturers want to make cars this way. They sell it to the public as features, but really they are forced obsolescence and make repairs entirely uneconomical.
It's a bit harder to get others to buy your companies once you've run them into the ground.
You are indeed a Cult member confirmed. In Fauci you trust, yes?
Mask mandates decrease the spread of Covid within the community (they didn't).
The MRNA Covid "vaccine" prevents the spread of Covid (it doesn't).
The MRNA Covid "vaccine" is safe for pregnant women (they didn't actually test it on them).
Hospitals are overrun with Covid patients and have run out of space (mostly wasn't true).
Ivermectin is for horse's and not humans (Ivermectin won the nobel prize for its use in humans).
Closing schools due to Covid is best for children (Covid wasn't a significant threat to children but loss of learning very much was).
Who do you trust to be the impartial infallible arbiter of truth?
Yup. They ARE the bots. And the only scalpers anymore. All others have been frozen out of the market.
Companies were perfectly OK with stupidly large numbers of employees during the era of infinite growth. When interest rates were zero, and future growth prospects appeared infinite, there was no such thing as overhiring.
But now its the total opposite. Growth mode is over. Innovation mode is over. Now its all about enshittification. Raise prices while cutting quality, and not caring if customers leave. Especially in captured industries where customers have nowhere else to go.
Now companies can't cut workers fast enough. They know they overhired, but they don't know exactly who needs to go. So the answer is to fire 80% of the company and then figure out the rest later.
You don't need the best and the brightest to enshittify products. So the reason why companies seem to no longer care if they're chasing off the good employees along with the bad is because they in fact don't care. In fact they'd kind of rather keep the mediocre employees, since those will just be grateful to have a job and won't complain or point out problems like the top talent would. Plus there's no need to give raises or bonuses to the mediocre.
RTO is a useful way to get rid of people. It drives off the ones inclined to complain, while keeping an army of proles around to make the big boss feel better about himself. It's easier to bully people in-office. Cost of real estate is not something companies care about since it's not an operating expense like salaries are.
Nobody's ever been targeted for abuse as a result of saying that a man in a dress isn't a woman, yes?
Who is JK Rowling?
They're the majority of the ones you see on the streets, you dingleberry. People who are just down on their luck are probably sleeping on a friend's couch, weekly motel, parent's house, etc. The ones shitting on the streets are drug addict bums.
To the landlord belongs the doorknobs.
