Uh here, you're free.
Huh, apparently your uh, "cubicle", was right next to the bathrooms.
sigh
There's a way to fix this, but I really don't want to have to report to my SCP handler again...
Whatever, I'm sure its fine, you're free!

Yep.
I've been one.
Thats how I know what I am saying.
Like you're not even challenging what I'm saying really, you admit that most PMs are technically incompetent, because their job is mainly playing office politics.
It didn't used to be this way.
And it still doesn't have to be.
A good PM is someone who actually knows their relevant field, and can also do some office politics, but much more importantly, is a responsible and helpful team leader.
A person with only an MBA just has a degree in how to play office politics and gaslight people.
Translation:
Powell won't let me crash the bond market and cause hyperinflation (in comparison to foreign currencies, at the very least), and that makes me MAD!!!
Seriously, if Trump somehow gets his way and rates end up being cut down to 0-1%, the US will basically immediately see a whole bunch of failed bond auctions, and then the only 'solution' is hyperinflation.
24 hour news (cable and online) got into the habit of basically reporting on the monthly reports like they are gospel, when realistically they are only reliable around November or December. I think the Fed encourages it too because it's quietly one of the levers they can use to inspire foreign investment.
... and almost no one actually checks the revisions to those numbers later, because the ruling class isn't smart, they just have money, for whatever reason.
For the last 2 years, the BLS numbers have been so unreliable, so often revised by huge amounts, that they are just worthless, they're more bullshit than the US media spent the better part of 2 decades saying half the numbers coming out of China were/are.
Wait, this ... is news?
Oh right, I forgot we live in the MAGA cult clownworld timeline.
... and thus 'you' now 'are' stuck in it.
Jesus Christ.
I very well remember seeing the censored version of that image... this is the first time I've seen it uncensored.
I've seen uncensored pics from the highway of death, other graphic shit that made it onto the early days of liveleak... but there ya go, memory hole in action.
I'm more mainline Millennial, possibly 'elder Millennial', grew up in the PNW, heard it in the same way that you did, though possibly more matter of factly and genuienly.
This was when people would call out 'Jordan!' (as in Michael Jordan) prior to attempting a 3 pointer, and then people would shout either 'Brick!' to mean they thought it would miss, or various other phrases to mean they'd think the shot was good.
No clue if this latter part was widespread, regional, or just some weird quirk of my hometown.
It does happen occasionally, from time to time, but, because everything is gasp open source, it tends to get caught, identified, blocked/quarantined and then fixed considerably more rapidly, with decent fallback instructions/procedures in that interim period.
Like apparently it actually just recently happened with some asshole uploading bs malware libs/sources to the AUR... even still, got caught pretty quickly.
Also, you can basically describe the entire CrowdStrike fiasco as exactly this kind of upstream oopsie doopsie.
Doesn't really matter in the big picture if it was intentionally malicious or not, when you Y2K 1/4 of the world's computer systems.
Entirely seriously, yes.
Most project managers I've ever met or known or worked with are basically incompetent technically, and very insecure / in denial about that, and thus vastly prefer the 'safe' option of someone else being responsible over the 'risk' of... hiring actual quality people that can make/support their own quality product.
cough
ri-poached
runs away
Wish I could go with you.
