I mean, they hired a Hitler sympathizer in the 1930s who praised Goebbels, so one could argue they have always been shitty. I'd say it's time to start telling people they (NYT) are shit and hope they lose money.

Hennessey is a Cognac that sells itself as high end. Hip hop bands would buy Hennessey as a sign they had made it when they got big.

What I've found (in multiple systems across different companies) is spells and other class abilities that are in any plentiful amount will eventually have duds in them, and eventually printing schedules means you can't fix/test them all. So you send them off, hope they don't break the game, and make errata later if they are truly broken. This is a case where they had time to fix them, eventually.

Or the liberals will join up with him and they'll just make sure no one hurts the corporations they were paid by.

Wrong? No. But I would warn, as a fellow Canadian myself, that it didn't totally fix the problem.

Pierre Polievre (current right wing leader who walked with the Trucker convoy) is probably going to win at least a minority, and the more right wing parts of my family can't hide their hope he "finally helps the majority, rather then all these minorities getting help."

I had an uncle who nearly tested this theory.

I hope he gets his license pulled soon.

The closest I could think about was Economists speaking out about Reaganomics. I also couldn't find anything exactly like this, however I did find Bush Sr. Calling it voodoo economics and Democrats actually are credited in some cases as calling it Trickle Down economics as a negative. Even Gerald Ford attacked it, which is something coming from the guy who pardoned Nixon.

I found some criticism from Martin Feldstein in 1986 about the strength of supply side economics and some "extremists", though that was after the fact.

But then you can't fire them and not have to call it a re org.

It's nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.

It's a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming

I am remembering an article months ago that stated Toronto businesses were having trouble employing people due to cost of living driving up wages.

So while I'd hope we could argue for the above, I don't think the top earners want to give up anything. Or rather they (the top earners) realize this, know a return to work will kick off people quitting for company's that are remote, and have told Chow that she has to deal with the consequences, aka finding a way to travel the city better than currently and food prices to calm down or for rent prices to drop.

And asking them to fund better methods for getting downtown, right? Or subsidizing food costs so restaurants don't cost a lot, right? Or not working employees to death so they don't mind staying downtown every so often, right?

No, no, gotta make employees come downtown, that'll solve it. What little I could read, the banks are asking her to lead the way. So now it's up to Queens Park to improve the city, which the province will not fund, which will mean half measures and shitty work for the rest of us. Great job Olivia, try harder.

Octopath Traveler 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. Oh, and Grounded, when all 3 of us have time.

Won't someone think of the poor capitalists who can't love better lives then those around them!

/s, just in case.

I mean, you're right. Im getting ahead of myself.

Well at least we know the future FF8 will not be overly melodramatic, feature a card game, have a frustrating last boss nor a weird pop song interlude. Or the saddest of sad boys as the protagonist. All of that would age poorly (to me)

Took me a second to understand the article meant FF9 remake. Here I was worried a bunch of people thought they had hallucinated FF9, then thought I was one of them.

I think the heat is getting to me. Look forward to trying the remake when I'm less loopy.

Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they've lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.

That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven't seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.

Hard to say, you could be right. That's where I'm less sure. I've had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.

The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn't hand me work and I eventually would leave.

One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I'd have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.

What I'm saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.

So I've worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.

They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don't do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.

Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn't improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.

So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.
