January 26 • 49 mins the century before.
Since the first fish walked on land.
We talked about Ninzi Adda being there since the 80s, but some of these people from the early 2000s, that's 20 years now.
That's a long time. The sam
person in
charge of this little fiefdom, I would ask them, why you and why still?
And if they can't give a compelling answer other than, oh, the other person is not as good, I don't know, why are you still there?
That's so funny. I often try to flip the script on this. It's like, guys, go get a job.
Go get a job, come on. Or once you actually aren't elected and then people try and come back, it's like, go get a job. Like the rest of us do when we get fired.
It actually is just mind boggling to me how some people will just stay in this world forever. I assume they don't know how to do anything else. I don't know.
