Your manager was someone I would have liked to work for.

I guess you have to pay for the Washington Post. That is part of value for value exchange, I suppose.

This may be kinda new for being sneaking up sneaky.
But how do I get rid of the pop-up PayPal ad that freezes my ability to scroll down the article. Can't even find a "X" to click on.

That thought is correct. When I was working at Prime Computer (now very long ago) my manager discovered that his most important job was to deflect the people that got in the way of our department's work. For example, we had been told that company policy was to solve problems at the lowest level and only to escalate unresolvable issues. The manager of another department said, "I don't want you talking to my people. Everything must go through ME!" Our manager took that problem up another level and got it fixed. He also reached up and fixed the company policy in which all accounts payable were pushed out 90 days whenever possible. Our department's artist (on 1099, not an employee) was starving as a result. Right to the top! Fixed!

As Scott said about the Dilbert strip, people often told him, "You work as MY company, right?" Dilbert's problems were at many companies.

Don't let your tongue get stuck in your cheek!

Have you seen any other links to this explanation; if true, this is unimaginable. I've heard stories in the past that UK thinks it still owns America and they were only allowing self governance. I dismissed these assertions as BS at the time.

I do know that narcissism and megalomania are impossible for normal people to conceive of, these people are on a different level then you and me.

My idea of going Galt on a catamaran with a few others is looking better and better daily. Looking at GTFO....

Dilbert used to be my favorite comic strip but who am I a retired prison guard to object to all of those who would be my betters for shutting it down?
Wonder why I chose to stick my tongue into my left cheek and not my right one.

The whole reason Trump is trying to upend the entire system, ending the Fed/Irs/and mandating gold backing our money.

PS, there is a whole lot more to the Greenland Story that goes along with upending the corrupt global system. see: https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

Nailed it !

I knew there was more to the Greenland Story, I could have never guessed what the "More" was . . .

If there is to be any justice, it won't come from government (since they are in many cases the guilty parties.)
The corrective action was last applied in North America in 1776.

I never heard of Peak Prosperity so it took a while to find it, but I assume it's the podcast titled "404 Error!"? This is a long one and will take a while to get through it. Thanks for the heads up, Abaco.

Update four days later (1/14/2026). I see the Clintons have snubbed their noses at the congressional subpoenas and there isn't an orange jump suit or FBI raid in sight.

This is definitely a mess that's been building for more than a century. I have no personal solution other than prepare for the SHTF event. I would like to see a better solution than that, but we aren't going to get it out of the bunch (uniparty) that's running things now.

"The anti-vaxers were right."....dies from aggressive cancer.

+1 to you both.

"To the extent to which a man is rational, life is the premise directing his actions. To the extent to which he is irrational, the premise directing his actions is death." AR

"Man's basic vice, the source of all his evils, is the act of unfocusing his mind, the suspension of his consciousness, which is not blindness, but the refusal to see, not ignorance, but the refusal to know. Irrationality is the rejection of man's means of survival and, therefore, a commitment to a course of blind destruction; that which is anti-mind, is anti-life." Ayn Rand

The abandonment of reason may have reached its limit. See this link to a Washington Post editorial from a couple of days ago regarding transgender issues.

I had to look up the word "seigniorage". Seigniorage is the profit a government makes from issuing currency, calculated as the difference between the face value of money (coins or banknotes) and the cost to produce it.

From LibertyPen's brilliantly written essay: "Compassion that ignores consequences is not compassion at all; it is irrationality dressed in moral clothing."

"The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it". - George Orwell

Above is a Scott Adams quote, not mine, but I agree with him.

RIP to one who spoke his mind and was censored for it by those who consistently lie.

I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can't motivate people to do things, you can only demotivate them. The primary job of the manager is not to empower but to remove obstacles.
