I’ve just read someone’s comment,
What about those of us that had to brace for the winter of layoffs? And the current spring of layoffs?
And then this
…art of the … deal?
And not that I’m laughing too hard — it’s late after all, and I got this horrible cough — but this is very … well, not funny. It’s just ironic.
Absolutely incompetent idiot runs the most powerful economics in the world. Or, the country that was the most powerful. Everything comes to an end.
How long will it take them to understand that this is in Russia’s (and China, and Iran, and their cronies) best interest?
In that light, this movie we watched recently — Leave the World Behind (2023) — makes much more sense. It’s both funny and horrifying — well, rather horrifying — that its rating is that bad. It’s a decent film, but either the rating was deliberately lowered by some actors, or people truly that stupid, that they decided it’s — I don’t know — boring. Or what.
But I believe people are not that stupid. And it was fabricated, it’s quite easy these days. Or maybe it’s just both. It was fabricated, but people are stupid too.
That just does not change anything for those of us who plans to fight the global stupidity. If we won’t do it, we’ll be dealing with these dealer deal deal idiots over and over again. At least, the system must be designed so well to stop them from coming to power. Otherwise, they’re doing their best to stop everyone else coming to power, as they’re the threat to their power. A classical autocracy.
