I agree, lobbyists are out of control and would love to take money out of politics. However, Biden admin is trying to take California's AB5 national. This is obvious. Its the same people pushing for it. Alot of people, across all polit

The whole trend is manufactured outrage from places like reddit, twitter, and the dull corporate "journalists" that for some reason act as a megaphone for these "ideas". Its anything but organic. Ending work, doing the b

Alot of young people are being influenced by stupid trends on reddit (like /r/antiwork) or this 'quiet quitting' nonsense. Alot of young people also believe that meritocracy doesn't exist in the modern workplace, wh

I attribute alot of my success in the professional/tech industry to MMOs. I started playing games like Asheron's Call, Everquest, and UO as young as 3rd grade. I helped organize pvp events, traded constantly, communicated on forum
