Saving is a scam

Saving money so you can give it to rich people later instead of using it to live your life is a scam. That is, if you CAN somehow afford to save money.

It’s time to pull a France.

I've had it. I'm fed up. I'm angry. Fuck SCOTUS. It's time for us to strike fear back into the hearts of these corrupt fucks in their ivory towers. We need to take a page from the book of France and make some noise. It's time to light some signal fires and send the message that we the working class are fed up. We are over the empty campaign promises and bullshit town hall forums. It's time to fuck shit up and burn shit down. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” – JFK Vive la révolution!

Is it wrong that I feel mad about people inheriting wealth?

I have a friend, who was born into a rich family. Her dad bought her an apartment, a car, an iPhone etc. She's never felt the pressure to work hard, because she'll never be homeless. Now she's just inherited her second apartment after her grandma. With current housing prices, it makes me mad that someone gets so much wealth for free. It makes me especially angry, as she's actually quite dumb as a person. Where I live, an average person needs to work for an average apartment for about 15 years. And that's of course assuming they won't spend a penny on anything else. This is ridiculous. She just got 30 years of what average person makes. How to deal with these emotions?

Manager emailed me during PTO for not turning on “Out of Office” in Teams

As per title, I did remind him 3 times before. First on Monday, second & third time during the day before. He even approached me to confirm prior approval. Fast forward on the second day of PTO, he emailed me saying that I've been offline for half day and another email asking why I wasn't in team meeting. In my defense I always used Out of Office feature before going for PTO/MC but this time I really forgot. So I screenshot the email of the approval with his name on it and emailed him back. To my shock (not really) he just noted me without an apology. An hour later he follow up with another email saying I should practice using Out of Office feature whenever I'm away as if I never bother to use it before. This isn't even his first rodeo. Last time he sent an email to…

Student loans and processing fees

If you find yourself at the short end of the court ruling and have to start paying on loans, know that the loan processors have to pay a payment processor to clear ACH and credit card payments. Quick search has about 21 to 40 cents per ACH and maybe $1.50 for credit card processing. If you have time, and funds, and are inclined for some (let's be honest, petty) protest you can log into your processor website and make as small a payment as possible. It will cut into their margins just a little bit. I also wouldn't put it past these leaches to have the processing vertically integrated. So, they might be paying funny money to a payment processor they already own. But, it make me feel good to give them their inescapable debt in the most annoying way possible.

PPP loans need to be audited ASAP

Only a small handful of businesses used PPP loans as they were intended to. But let's face it, the majority of the companies pocketed PPP loans and are running on skeleton crews on purpose to avoid paying back on PPP loans. This is why no one else is hiring also. But student loans can't be forgiven? Such bullshit, PPP loans need to be investigated right now, and give them the same energy they gave to student loans
