I have said it in the past and I will say it once again: fuck Blizzard! They have bastardized every single game franchise and turned it into an unregulated online casino of loot boxes. They defiled Diablo by making a mobile version. They defiled World of Warcraft. There was never a Starcraft 3. They don't give two shits about anyone's opinion. They will keep pushing shitty products and exploiting their workers until they have sucked everybody's soul. If you are a Blizzard North fan, refrain from buying anything from the money-sucking parasite that Activision/Blizzard has become.

I would say: fuck MBAs MBAs programs are a ritual of cargo cult indoctrination that that reinforces beliefs based on pseudoscience and irrationality. Not only they're completely clueless about how to generate value for a customer, they have taken every revenue generating activity in America, applied some fucked up short-term thinking, and ruined them. For every Steve Jobs (value generating individual) there's a John Sculley (MBA), ready to milk every cash cow dry. The best thing that occurred to Apple was to undo the entire legacy of John Sculley and send him home. Contrary to popular belief: nobody fucking needs MBAs. MBAs are a mistake. The US had a much better economy before MBAs were invented. What's the contribution of US MBAs? making China the #1 country by GDP, and normalizing clown-like botox faces. Truly the most idiotic cargo cult ever created.

  If you want to consider it as a maximization of shareholder value, then you're dead wrong. They're pumping the value of US shares making CEOs and large shareholders even more filthy rich than they ever worth this lifetime, so pat them on the back for that. Blame them for greasing palms and watering down corporate tax rates. Blame them for maximizing profits by shifting jobs overseas. All that money flowing to the top is making a very few people a lot of money and in that role they're doing great at it, at least as long as I've been old enough to pay attention. It's not MBAs that are the problem you hate, it's capitalism stretched to it's _naturally_ anti-competitive pinnacle.

    We are just taking a loan from the next generation, who will be completely enslaved to debt.
