Nice juxtaposition of 'quiet quitting' and then two US senators high-fiving a rule that prevents them from doing meaningful work while still cashing checks... I guess they need to work on the "quiet" part!

Good read.

Excellent synopsis. Thank you. I am baffled by the banal acceptance of war criminals on panels and in media by the general public. I get why the lackeys of empire obsequiously fawn over people like Kissinger.

Why don’t They just make corporate slavery legal. Indentured servitude. Provide housing and food and healthcare. Free cable, internet and gym. Then every one should be happy. We can work till we die.

I notice you don't say what Kissinger said. He is wildly overrated as a font of wisdom that people are likely to overreact. Still, I am curious if K had anything interesting to say.

How long before Chat-GPT monitors employee engagement real time continuously? And who will sell that product? There are already people shilling for Chat GPT therapist bots (who needs to waste time on a real therapist?)

"conducting hourlong, open-ended meetings with no agenda" ???

This sounds like it's straight out of that declassified 1944 sabotage manual!!!

Did they also recommend "complain against ersatz materials” and “bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible”?

Who needs quiet quitting when you can create loud learned helplessness in your firm?

> No, Davos is not a secret plan to raise a stadium of babies in Matrix-style incubator pods

Easy to dismiss concerns about WEF cabal: by building a strawman and making it seem like schizo tinfoil hat stuff. Classic.

I am old enough to remember when liberals stood against the elite globalist class, rather than running cover for them

I felt visceral disgust reading this. Thanks for enduring all of that conference so we don't have to.

When the Time Study guys at ALCOA came around with their clipboards & stopwatches, I'd immediately slow down 30%. My version of quiet quitting. Fuck 'em.

Spoiler alert for an 1891 novel:

At the end of Dorian Gray, the picture is beautiful again and hanging above the now-hideous corpse of Dorian Gray himself. Therefore, the picture was not a good comparison for Kissinger's appearance, unless you thought he was "in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty". The picture is at its most hideous earlier in the final chapter.

Love the bit about Grandma having to go back to work. They might, just MIGHT have to fix the little problem of age discrimination in the workplace for that to happen. I'm in my fifties and have sent out hundreds of resumes and have only gotten two interviews in over 6 months. Grandma may WANT to work, but will anyone hire her?

I thought your comments on majority report were prescient, that a fanatical devotion to 2% inflation, somewhat disturbing as I read the front page of the WSJ today!
