For Republicans it actually boosts their poll numbers.

People want to be openly racist again. That's what MAGA really means.

Ugh my last company the CEO and C-suite constantly bragged about their new boats, planes, and trucks all while massively underpaying me. it was a small company so unfortunately I was up close and personal with them. I remember the CEO once commented that I was skipping out early because I was leaving at 6pm. I had a 2 hour commute to get there.

They were surprised I quit but the next company offered me 50% more than what I was getting there and a signing bonus and company stock. That company gave me bupkiss. And they weren't even letting me do the job I was hired for putting me in low level software development roles. A new guy came and they immediately put him in the role I was supposed to do. The CEO had the audacity to act like I was ungrateful that they hired me. Bitch I had a Masters in Comp Eng with a 4.0 GPA and internships up the wazoo.

So glad I left after only 6 months. I'm sure my current CEO/C-Suite are just as bad but it's a bigger company so I never have to see them.

Use it to print cheap plastic knick knacks with generic farmhouse graphics generated by AI to sell to your unsuspecting followers. No joke there was a YouTuber who made a video about doing exactly this.

I for one found this too exciting and it gave me a case of the vapors.

How old are you?

Thanks for your candid response!

However it does confirm that I will never see these numbers in my lifetime.

A few Qs because I hate myself:

  • what is your base salary?
  • what is your pay currently?
  • do you amend your base salary calculations when you get a raise?
  • also what do you do that gives you a 20% raise every year?

I'm often asked to give money to people probably making quite a bit more than me when they have babies and such. Kind of feels like "forced donation".

I know having a new baby will incur a lot more expenses but still.
