Well, buttflapper...

Capitalism filters sociopaths to the top. It's a feature, not a bug. It has always been this way. Read about Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller, John Kellog. The list goes on.

Imagine being a twitter user.

My employer has been intentionally creating a toxic workplace to drive attrition. Several upper managers have said the quiet part out loud in candid AMAs with staff. The top management still sends out uncanny valley soulless-smile emails saying RTO is better for everyone, but it's another excuse to drive layoffs based on location and proximity to an office. I do not interact with a single individual outside of Teams/Zoom on any given day. I honestly think the execs are looting the coffers before the company tanks like investment bankers did to Toys R Us and now Red Lobster. They can make a ton of money and move on to the next ripe fruit.

This is rhetorical, right?

I've seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don't use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.

If only they could issue a stern warning, too! I'm sure he'll stop once he realizes he made a legal faux pas!

It was not misleading. It was a lie.

"Instead of opening our drivers up, we'll make the whole system proprietary. Everyone wins!"

This is how you deal with a malignant narcissist.

No it didn't.
