Yes and no. In this context, it’s more of a shakedown-sorta thing.

You misspelled “shares they could have bought back”

Hey so just to be clear: a 200k comp package nowadays is the equivalent of about 81k in 1990.

Put another way: I am doing a good bit worse than my dad was at my age, despite being a pretty solid and experienced software engineer, with an EECS degree, and a lot of devops and system design experience.

This is the collapse of the American social contract. Even people like me who are ostensibly in “great” jobs are treated like code monkeys, and adjusted for inflation, it’s flat or worse than 30-35 years ago. We are doing worse than the generation before us. The American Dream is a nightmare.

You’re entitled to that opinion; I’m entitled to disagree with your opinion.

He’s proving the point that the DNC has denied for well over a fucking decade: stop listening to money, start listening to people, and you will win. That’s it. That’s the whole argument.

And the DNC establishment is scared shitless, because they know it’s working, and they know more people are gonna run campaigns like he’s doing, and there’s gonna be a sea-change in terms of what the fuck the Democratic Party is (that, or a third party is going to spawn and absolutely fucking crush the DNC).

The neoliberals are looking down the barrel of a gun right now, and they know they put themselves there.

good, that means it’s working

I’m gonna be frustrated (though not surprised) if the response is anything other than this.

Just because I like that gif too:
