๐Ÿ”—Authoritarian Grift Meets the Grind of Justice

America (that country that promoted itself (past tense) as the beacon of democracy) continues to be the ONLY country in the world that does nothing to stop these kinds of people.

๐Ÿ”— Were Your Managers Managing Your Decline?

"This is โ€œmanaged decline,โ€ โ€“ the art of overseeing failure with exceptional documentation. Managed decline hides under terms like cost control, risk minimization, and streamlining, but it guarantees one thing: job security for managers. The EU and UK exemplify this, where managed economic entropy and decline have become a boon for the managerial class. Managers multiply like Gremlins in water." https://www.gapingvoid.com/were-your-managers-managing-your-decline/

I donโ€™t know - I share a lot of Om - but this one - this right here is in a class of its own - so beautiful. A delight to read. A level where you donโ€™t just give up highlighing the best parts - but maybe even give up writing - because how can you even begin to achieve this.
