Today's Tiedrich rant: America's CEOs are fucking pumped they can act like dicks again [View all]



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/americas-ceos-are-fucking-pumped

imagine you’re a corporate CEO. you’re on top of the world. you’re swimming in money. you’re eating the finest food and drinking the finest wine. you’re flying around in your private jet, experiencing pleasures unavailable to mere mortals. you don’t even work all that hard — certainly not as hard as the Chinese factory workers who toil and sweat to make your products.

life should be good, right?

but life isn’t good, because something’s missing. there’s a word-shaped hole in your soul that’s preventing you from achieving total satisfaction. you can’t call anyone a retard.

Screenshot:


the corner office crowd is fucking pumped right now, because Donny Convict’s second term is going to usher in a new era of aggressively shitting on the peons below you.

Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at “woke doctrine” and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”


life is just one grievance after another with these people. they can’t be happy unless they have something to whine about. we can’t say a word. how fucking small and petty.

I think Tiedrich is onto something BIG. The CEO's of this country have been totally envious of Chump because he can be as RUDE and INSULTING as he wants to be ... ALL the time! Now that they've helped to propel him back into the White House, the CEO's think they can be as rude as Chump is.

Zuckerberg is calling it "masculine energy" but maybe that simply translates into Chump-style rudeness. Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
