Another one bites the dust

 I just witnessed LinkedIn come one step closer to being the sewer that is traditional social media.  LinkedIn has somehow managed to stay above the fray of pettiness with their professional network spin on a song called Facebook.  I'm so sick of reading titles like "transformational leader" or "holistic leader" or whatever other bullshit that has to do with DEI or ESG that is all the rage.  

But today...  today was epic!  Apparently it's become public knowledge that the former chipotle ceo is now the new Starbucks ceo and he gets to fly a private jet to and from work 3x a week.  He lives in Newport Beach CA or something.  At any rate - all the Starbucks drinkers feel betrayed that their cherished green, environmentally conscious company is flying an executive in a private jet when they're forcing their customers to use paper straws and compostable cups.  And all these morons on LinkedIn took the bait to bitch and moan about Starbucks and the ceo and the carbon footprint and yadayadayada.   I'd like to take a moment to welcome LinkedIn to the gutter of social media.  Nice work everyone.

Now Starbucks is getting all this negative press about the environment and the corporate hypocrisy - having no integrity when it comes to the environment.  blahblahblahblah...

The peasants will get bent and the elite will continue to live their lives while maintaining their ESG credentials while the big boss commutes via Gulfstream jet...  while the peasants are blamed for everything wrong in society and the environment.  When it's the corporations that are destroying all of it.  

When are the peasants going to realize "they" think we're the problem.  It's driving back and forth to work and eating meat.  Or whatever.  Nobody gives a shit about the peasants.  And peasants, you are just an instrument that allows the ruling class to carryon business as usually.  While we are demonized for drinking the shitty 10 dollar cup of coffee and driving a car from home to work..  You don't see them taking the drive thru window out of Starbucks do you?  They don't care.  And you're stupid for thinking they do care.  But hey - at least the coffee cup isn't made out of plastic.  Neither is the straw.  And everyone hates it.

This entire scenario is one dark comedy.  And it's hilarious.  Drive your car.  Drink your coffee.  Eat meat.  Take the cruise.  Fly in the plane.  And all the mentally ill enviro-terrorists - keep cheer leading the green movement.  It's all bullshit anyways.  And the power players will tax the shit out of your carbon footprint while they do whatever they want.  Peasants vs the ruling class.  Why can't people see the facade?  NO ONE CARES.

For whatever reason - I am completely entertained by all of it.  Why?  Because all of it is bullshit and thinking it's anything other than bullshit is naiveté or wishful thinking.  None of it matters.  It never did.  It never will.  The planet will become a god forsaken wasteland.  It will look a lot like Wall-E when all is said and done.   Humans will be extinct and there will be nothing left but piles of garbage.  Everywhere.  

What a riot.  The entire situation is laughable.  Where's greta thundburg when we need her?

And now people are starting to post political commentary. And some are whining about LinkedIn etiquette and decorum on social media. There is no decorum on social media. It just took everyone on LinkedIn longer to figure that out than the rest of us. Real men of genius. And also women. And the alphabet freaks. Include all people. Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. People expect so much from others and they will be consistently disappointed.  You can tell the eggheads er professionals on LinkedIn don’t interface with the general public much. Enjoy your office with a view. Losers.
