  • If you have to point to one single problem it’s shareholders, Dodge vs Ford (1916) established shareholder supremacy, so the point of any company isn’t to produce widgets or employ people or pay the CEO, it’s to produce value for the shareholders, end of story. All things serve this master purpose.

    I worked at a privately held $1b manufacturing company recently, they were doing record profits, cut employee bonuses based on some bullshit metric we “failed to hit,” all the money was just pouring into the owning family’s pockets. Their private helicopter trips were the purpose of our labor. Their shopping excursions to Europe. Sadly, this is a highly politically active family in conservative politics, funding the Heritage foundation over decades.


  • In that Super 8s probably rarely see cats who enjoy urinating on electrical equipment (although I’m sure that’s happened nonzero number of times), it’s probably a ton of condensed meth. When it’s in secondhand form, exhaled or wasted, it’s hydroscopic and instantly mixes with the room humidity, which is then processed by the A/C coils, where it accumulates.

    Possibly the room was actually used to manufacture meth. I mean, I used to manage REO properties on Bremerton, and I definitely cleaned up the remains of a few meth labs.

    But maybe Mr Fluffy did go to urinetown on it, who knows. Bremerton.


















  • No NDA on earth prohibits giving a vague idea of what the duties and industry were. You may not be able to say the specific projects you worked on, or maybe even the name of the employer under extreme circumstances, but that would be like MI5 level rare, and those folks aren’t out applying for the jobs you are.

    The real trick is having an LLC so you can just point to that and say you were consulting or self-employed during that time. Or have a friend with one.
