I feel that as a GenX'er I should now dispense some wisdom to Millenials and Zoomers about life, but I just don't have the energy. Read Gaetano Mosca.

- mrweasel 1y agoSome of us are in our 40s. We know how shit works. Almost everyone can fall into the trap of telling yourself that "it's not that bad", "this is how it's suppose to work" or "If it was that bad it would be illegal/have been shutdown", only to later get wiser and see it scam, fraud or just the darker side of how some companies operate.
