People thought "run the country like a business" meant they'd run it like a hot unicorn startup.

What they really meant was like a private equity firm. Mass layoffs, cutting entire departments, and shouting "do more with less" while doing far, far less.

The first ten million years were the worst," said Marvin, "and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."

Reminder that there are three acceptable ways to eat a chicken wing flat:

* Insert lengthwise and slurp off meat
* Snap bone and nibble off meat
* Eat as expected and tongue out middle meat

All are valid and we don't shame on bluesky.

Agreed. Coming in and shitting all over something does not a new designation make.
