Never said anything was out of people's reach intellectually. I'm saying the dude stocking shelves is most likely not going to be able to jump into a bunch of workflows and processes that someone who does marketing stuff for a business deals with unless he gets trained or has done that stuff before somewhere else. Maybe he tells the boss at some point "Hey, I can do that **** and drive sales, brand awareness, etc." But you and I both know that kind of thing doesn't happen often, which is why the owner ends up hiring an outside company or a local individual with a track record if they actually spend money on the PR/marketing/whatever side of the business.

we have managers at my job that have to ask the employees the most basic questions about how things operate because they've no idea, they used to manage a Lowe's or something

it's beyond stupid

as there are already functioning worker co-ops that can even compete with corporations, we know the model works, next step is to simply government mandate it

I've got personal anecdotes about people I've met in business too, but they won't convince you that, you know, there are people out there who know what they're doing even if I explained everything in excruciating detail.

What do you think of employee owned companies like WinCo Foods?

You should go apply at some of those employee-owned companies. WinCo is one but even here in Texas there are others. Most of them provide rock solid benefits even to entry level guys who are like 19 years old.

It was a small and literally underground venue and the audience was mostly die-hard fans so the atmosphere was great.
The set was a mixture of older songs and the new album. When they opened with Grembo Zavia I almost came.
Some nice surprises along the way like a fun, little classical medley as the first encore and AH doing an extended solo in the Diamanda Galas/Sainkho Namtchylak vein.
Unnecessary to say that the band was tight af.
Best concert ever.

Reposting it here because I want Mord to know and to be jealous.

Thanks Mindful mah dude.

I played a bit aggressive and tried to force a few shots out of the woods that screwed me up even worse. That cost me enough strokes to put me out of first, but my drives were real strong. I lost by 7.

It’s hard to understand why so many, maybe even the vast majority of people, think this should be the default situation. Even at your job, you’ll find that most of the people working 50 hours plus actually think they have a decent life and it’s basically fair.

Anyway, I’m back from my “camping” trip. I really enjoyed it even though I didn’t do what I had planned. I swam in the sea. I cooked on a grill. I watched the sunrise and took selfies with my dog. I didn’t hike around much at all though.
