We were not prepared, as a species, for a device that let us come up with any opinion at all and find validation for it.

It used to be that when you had an opinion that was wrong, you’d say it out loud a number of times, and you’d notice that everyone around you would call you an imbecile and ridicule you. It would make you reassess yourself and grow as a person.

Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

That was an integral part of growing up and maturing. We don’t have a solution for it.

Yeah the problem is there would never be any reason for companies to even try to make working from home work unless some life or death event like COVID forced them to.

There was never going to be an easy transition for them. It was either nothing or against their will.

Well it’s like a super tape recorder that can play back anything anyone has ever said on the internet.

Imagine what would happen if a bunch of huge fully-remote companies with no office space were told by the government that they now had to buy a building for workers to work in.

Imagine how fast their opinion would switch.

Wonder what new non-crime the prison industrial complex will invent to refill the prisons after they can’t arrest people for weed.

The way you keep employees and build a strong team is by giving them things you aren’t obligated to provide.

0.004% of their net worth isn’t enough for you?

Yeah same. The flu shot usually makes me feel a little bad for a morning. The Covid vaccine makes me feel flat out sick for 24 hours.

I just had a doctors appointment on Friday where they offered me the newest booster and I had to say no because I had full days of work the next 3 days.

So what you’re telling me is that written tests have, in fact, existed before?

What are you some kind of education historian?

We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.
