City has 10 parallel car heavy paths to get from point A to B : normal, good, as it should be.

City has 9 parallel car heavy paths and 1 person/bike/transit path to get from point A to B : A travesty, doom for business, the unraveling of all civilization.

It was her grandma's and it was rent controlled, so the rent was not allowed to go up since the 70s. She was illegally subletting it.

Those 8.5 billion are producing all of that 100%. If you had 4 billion, it would be 45%.

That's Mordecai from "Regular show."

It's a zany, but very human short form comedy sitcom that's deeply self referential.

The only possible justifications are "to protect victims" and "to protect people from baseless accusations" if there really is no proof of anything.

The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a "part 1" dossier to splash around.

Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

Now they are playing games about releasing "credible" reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.

This wasn't a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That's still in "we are a family" territory, but its a bit out of scope.

Your point seems to be that "all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever." I think that's more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.

Tech bros and corpo sales drones trying to throw a "hip" pizza party where people can see them get out of their beemers and where they can pretend to have hobbies and souls by being "fun."

Or

Cookie cutter, middle class grind culture mating grounds where people dress up to get drunk overpaying for booze while they fail to hit a golf ball and post about how zany they are on the gram'

Or

Said better than all the above

Agreed. The media is the message. I watched most of the video and it was fascinating in a way an article would not be, largely because the video isn't just a description of a piece of art, but rather a piece of art on its own.

An article could still be interesting and maybe excellent, but it's an oddly entitled thing to demand that someone offering you art go find a different type of art you like better.
