Every generation thinks they’re the ones who will finally fix the world, only to realize the world is just three corporations in a trench coat trying to sell us our own water back in a plastic bottle.
@JamesHFrieson@ProjectChaney@WayneWaldropW Literally one of their lyrics is "... look at me I'm Uncle Sam I'm hiding out here in this rock and roll band...". They have to tell you. I like The Dead by the way.
@3YearLetterman I was at a conference (mechanical design). Every other word was sustainability. I wrote a tweet that said if I hear "sustainability" one more time I'm leaving early to go burn truck tires in my backyard.
A guy named Doug, 49, regional manager for a HVAC distributor outside Allentown, just got back from a “team-building offsite” at a Marriott in Hershey, where a 31-year-old woman with a $4,000 Peloton habit and an MBA from Villanova explained “synergy” to him for six hours.
On the drive home he listened to a Saifedean Ammous podcast his nephew sent him in 2023 that he never opened.
He is now 41 minutes in. He is on I-78. He is gripping the steering wheel of a leased Chevy Equinox.
He is about to take an exit he has never taken before in his life.
That exit is Bitcoin.
Doug is gone. Doug is one of us now.
Pour one out for the version of Doug who believed in the 401k match.
