True that. The reason for this is simple. Stock price. Investors would wine around, price could move. It is all about money today: serious business.

- commandlinefan 6y agoI think it's deeper - and more insidious - than that. People with no sense of humor, or even awareness of their lack of sense of humor, have clawed their way into positions of real power. They used to just run the parent-teacher council and try to get TV shows cancelled, but now they've moved on to control nearly every aspect of our lives. And their power is growing.
- MattGaiser 6y agoHaving a sense of humour is dangerous when you need the approval of others because most sense of humour differ from the ones others have.
- dinkleberg 6y agoDo you think this is any different than any time throughout history? There have always been and always will be people without senses of humor in all walks of life.
- commandlinefan 6y agoI don't know about the rest of history, but this is the first point in my lifetime where they've been in control of so many aspects of day-to-day life.
- Arainach 6y agoThis is pure nonsense. Look at any portrayal of large operations (satirical or biographical) in recorded history. The leadership of GM, Ford, IBM, the military, and any huge organization have always been portrayed as humorless.

- chrisseaton 6y agoMaybe these people do have a sense of humour but your jokes just aren’t as funny as you think they are?
- commandlinefan 6y agoFine, then don't laugh. Even mock me. Tell me not to quit my day job. I don't think somebody should lose their job/be banished from society because of a bad joke.
- ben509 6y agoYeah, someone with a sense of humor sees a bad/lame joke as something to riff on. That's how dad jokes became a thing.
- chrisseaton 6y agoHow about don't bother people with your lame humour in the first place if they don't explicitly ask for it? Leave other people alone unless they opt-in. It's a basic part of a kind society.
