Good points, but I did not say that they were identical. Simply put, they are miles apart on that point, and I agree with your assessment on Ferrari’s expertise in many areas. However, like HD, they are leaning on a demographic that is moving away from relevance. HD placed their bet on Boomers. They rolled in cash,…

Stormy got paid. It was a job, for income.

Neutral: Will Ferrari Ever Only Make Full-Electrics?

Yeah, here’s the hot take: McQueen is very overrated.

And to help you not have to look it up, Nissan employed 22,272 employees in 2018. That would be about $8.8 million per employee, if you didn’t count any other expenses. Now, net profit was dropping, market share was eroding, and yet, and yet, you defend paying this jackwad $17 million and he still stole like a…

So those guys and gals actually building Nissans deserve $17mil annually as well? As a CEO, what exactly does he do (on his own, not advised to do, actually creates independently and causes actual product or IP that leads to said revenue) that makes him, individually, worth that pay? I am actually curious how you can…

The problem with it all is that he wore 4 hats, so to speak, and the Nissan portion of pay would be 1/4th of what he would make overall if fairly compensated for all 4 jobs.

Lansing’s Whipped Bakery, official bakery of Neverland.

So true. But also:

What 5-year-old turned and asked:

Well, not having set foot in a church since, well, quite some time, I can say that a church pot luck of the 1960s was very different than one in a modern office setting. Those of yore were usually on a Sunday, after church service, and the cooks had spent the weekend shopping, cooking, and otherwise getting ready for…

I can tell you that as a child growing up in the 1960s and attending my fair share of church pot luck dinners, Jell-O Salads were extremely popular and each cook had her own take on it. And yes, her take, as it was always made by older ladies in the church. It was so common, we called it “Old Lady Jell-O” and while…

I am enjoying this adult conversation, and if I come across as harsh, it is more a function of my writing style than anything. However, I have to take exception to this overused idea of gaslighting. Did you ever actually watch the movie Gaslight, on which this is based. Gaslighting is not dismissing singular misreads,…

There is no gaslighting, I think the post is clear, but perhaps you are reading too much into it as well. IHO was the one to bristle at the idea that she is being called out for thinking consensual sex between two women is icky, as I didn’t accuse her (or anyone) of that.

The public’s selective amnesia is what it being called out. The fact that in the age of cancel culture MJ still gets airplay shows our callous disregard of child rape and its implications. But then, Lewis Carroll was also a suspected pedophile and people still read Alice through the Looking Glass, or Gary Glitter…

And you know this to be true exactly how? How long were you friends with Whitney, and how often did this get discussed with her?

Well, let me be the first to tell you that the 48 year old may be the oldest you have employed, but he is not really old, just in your youthful eyes. He is squarely Gen X, not Boomer, which is the group we are talking about. You are talking about a middle aged dude, probably in a shitty job compared to his friends,…

And may I ask that favor of you as well? I never said specifically that you thought Whitney’s sexuality as the item considered “icky”, but you being against someone claiming their truth being in poor taste does tend to make one posit you were finding the subject distasteful. The same could apply to ignoring that…

I understand that you don’t like finding out something about a dead celebrity that you find “icky”, but it is not demeaning Whitney’s life with her ex-girlfriend confirming the fact that they were a couple. It seems Whitney didn’t want to remain in the closet, but made that choice for professional reasons as her…

Why, you won’t show up half the time and when you are there, you will just keep texting on your phone the whole time.
