  Today I was coming off a lovely 2 week vacation (my first break for more than a week in several years) but on Friday I got a Monday morning meeting invite set for 30 minutes before I usually start for the day. It was just a little taste of work crap to make sure the office was on my mind all weekend.

    The ideal strategy is to not look at your work emails outside work time.

    You can neither attend nor be stressed about a meeting that occurs earlier than you start work, if you don’t know it exists.

      I have a minimum amount of availability I have to maintain because servers and network hardware crashes don’t care about holidays.

  Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

    Then rich can afford to protect themselves, we can’t. We lose in that conflict.

      This is literal cope propaganda for the rich.

      We are hundreds of years from AI that will meaningfully replace the jobs of the poor.

      No person alive today will be able to live without depending on other humans.

      it didn’t protect the mobility of France, the royalty of Russia or frankly anyone in Cambodia

      That’s the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they’ll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.

      If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we’re a society and class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.

      This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don’t start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.

  FYI, few must work for the “worst” people. It takes time to shift to a new job, so start today. (Souce: once worked for terrible people.)

  (It is still rough to get back to work after a holiday.)

  Making money for the worst of us is a delightful turn of phrase.
