  • The whole debate was the first time I saw Americans for who we really are. Whiney, entitled, and refuse to change for the tiniest, smallest of reasons. Changing literally one of the smallest things I encounter because it helps animals? Nope, gotta literally rage for weeks online about it

    It’s how I knew we were fucked when covid hit. What, wear a mask? I think piece of fabric over my face? To help other people who aren’t even me?! Obviously this is the worst thing in the entire history of human kind!





  • Understanding their workers and excels at the simple things.

    I worked retail in college and most of the managers werE constantly having arguments about scheduling with their employees because most were in college and had odd schedules. My manager came in and first thing they did was sit down with each of us individually to come up with our availability. She then did something inconceivable to the other managers. She made a set schedule for the semester for all of us. The other managers said “they’re part time, that’s not what they do”. Immediately tension with scheduling was gone. We also didn’t have confusion with why I had to work Saturday but so and so didnt.

    Throughout her time there she made other simple things like that easier. Want time off? Just first one to ask for it would get it off. Christmas and holidays? We are retail so it’s tough, but she made sure everyone got enough time for families.

    Of course then everyone had no idea how she had the best performing department and why her worker happiness, retention, and sales were up. Gobsmacked. Almost like we were motivated to work harder because of the simple respect we received












  • This is a very nuanced question, because art isn’t always about skill.

    I remember I was one of those guys who thought modern art was stupid. My family took me to MoMA and I remember I was looking at a painting of a red square. It was a large 2 foot by 2 foot red square. I remember saying “but anyone could do this” to my aunt. She replied:

    But nobody else did.

    Stopped in my tracks and it clicked. The fact that they had done it, and we were there talking about it and discussing it, that right there proved it was art.

    So it’s not just quality. I’m sure AI could spot out 1000 red squares, and some would consider that low effort, but no one would ever discuss them.
