  • Best case scenario, business school is a way to check a box for a degree that some company still requires if you aren’t related to an executive, and get the slightest bit of networking establishment. If you are lucky, you might learn how to properly do some bookkeeping if you want to start your own business. Beyond that, the shit is so trivial and obvious that every dime wasted on it should set you back from your business career for making such an unprofitable decision.

    And dudes who barely passed, failed, or dropped out of business school despite how unrigorous it is still end up millionaires often enough because business doesn’t reward intelligence and hardwork, despite the bootstrap narratives all the wealthy “geniuses” play up. It rewards callousness, ambition, manipulation, and a ton of luck.





  • That is not true. More than a few laws have been created, enforced and had judgements executed on them that were vague as fuck. Part of a judge’s job is interpreting the law. Defining your terms adds clarity, but that is not a requirement. And were it a requirement, then you just move the goal post to defining your definition.

    You can add the definition:

    Referring to yourself by the terms “lawyer” or “attorney” qualify as representing yourself as one who practices or may practice law.

    Well what do you mean by “referring”? In writing? Verbally? In specific contexts? While soliciting business? Do you have to specifically say “I am a lawyer” or does implying you are one counts?

    What do you mean by “yourself”? Your qualifications? Your clothing/appearance? Your mindset? Your future goals? Your idealized self?

    You get the point. If you had to list every single way that a law could be broken, and define every single term within it (and within that, and within that, and within that, ad nauseum), then absolutley no law would be enforceable. Some amount 9f colloquial understanding of terms is required, as is intent.

    That’s why people argue about the actual meaning of the 2nd Amendment, for example. They argue about the framers’ intent, context, verbiage, historical precedent, practicality, etc. and lawyers and judges OFTEN come up with conflicting interpretation. That doesn’t mean that the law gets thrown out. It means that judicial interpretation, precedent, practicality, and stare decisis (i.e. deference to the decisions of a higher court) all have a part to play in law.











  • Being an entitled out of touch loser does not mean that every utterance from his lips is factually incorrect. And it is really fucking stupid to project meaning onto someone you don’t like to turn a factually correct statement into an incorrect one out of your hatred of the person. Especially when we are talking about the head of CMS’s comment on the price of fucking butter like that is even remotely relevant. What is stupid here is that they were even discussing prices in this interview like Oz has anything at all to do with it.


  • OK? I just read the quote in the article and the words he said was true. I’m certain that Oz is an out of touch rich asshole, but the statement he mad was correct. If I were to venture a guess, he was probably parroting some PR goon that made the comment about the price per stick and then the out of touch loser called a whole pack a stick. Regardless though, the price per stick comment was correct enough and even if it weren’t I don’t really care.

    There are so so many things that this administration says and does that are asinine at best, blatantly evil at worse. Shit like this is a distraction and a non-issue. Who gives a fuck if he said butter was 1 cent a stick. He’s a rich prick. I don’t expect him to know a fucking thing about grocery prices. I’m more concerned with his policies as the head of CMS and how they will fuck over those on medicaid and medicare.
