Certain sentences are so well-crafted they give me joy. This one is a gem:
>I often wonder how many tens of billions of dollars have been paid to management consultants to solve problems that low-wage line workers had solutions for, only because a guy in a suit has a hard time taking a guy with dirty fingernails seriously.

But management 3 levels up decides on colors and wordings.
