    Last year, my CEO said if we finish the project on time, he’ll buy a new truck and bring it around the office for everyone to check it out.

    This would be his 20th truck he bought.

      Jesus, that is even worse than a “let them eat cake” moment. This would be like Marie Antoinette eating cake in front of the starving peasants and then saying “be grateful for the opportunity to watch me eat cake!”

      What happened to us? When did our spirits become so broken that the rich figuratively spit in our face and we thank them for it?

      If you want to check out a new truck that you don’t own, just go to a dealership not looking like a bum and they might even let you drive it.

        Don’t even need to not look like a bum, I’ve gone on a few test drives looking like a bum.
