Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don't hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don't support them.

He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It's just a matter of time.

You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won't end well.

I say this as a millennial who drinks and actually did whisky tasting as my main hobby with reviews for 12 years; I get it. I worked with and in the alcohol industry. They have no clue. It's all ego and razor thin margins and old ways of running a business. They are heavily resistant to change of any sort. They will not be able to handle this at all.

Add to that they are owned by rich people as vanity projects who want their ROI ASAP at levels that healthier margin/growth industries could barely achieve and we will start seeing them disappear. Which is too bad, because it's centuries of tradition in some cases, and I find it tasty.

As usual, these Farts (feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe) end up using their hatred of Trans women to marginalize CIS women who happen to fall out of their view of what they view as women to score points among their bigoted fans.

It's a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming

Won't someone think of the poor capitalists who can't love better lives then those around them!

/s, just in case.

So I've worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.

They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don't do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.

Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn't improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.

So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.

Truly sad part? The tourism benefit from it was estimated at 6$ billion... but NBC doesn't want that.

"I'm not racist, but" oh, they are going to say something racist.

Quote from the article:

However, Spencer outlined a number of blocks on the merger, including the fact Nintendo seemed uninterested in selling up. Nintendo is “sitting on a big pile of cash”, Spencer said, and was apparently happy with its current position. As a result, Spencer said he couldn’t “see an angle” on a buyout in the short term, adding: “I don’t think a hostile action would be a good move… so we are playing the long game."

So its never happening and it's at best delusional. Got it.
