Who you’re taking advantage of and why depends entirely on who you think YOU are.
If you’re an employee, you’re taking advantage of your employers because “Fairness”- like, they take advantage of you, so they gotta expect the same in return, right?
If you’re an employer, you’re taking advantage of your employees ’cause that’s why you pay ’em! Like, you have money to spend and jobs that need doing, and they have skills to sell, right?
If you’re the child of an investor father, and you’re a little hungry, you take advantage of a frankly complicated mess of a business by having a restaurant paid for by the bunch of investors your father has lined up. Like, it might pay off and make you a financial genius whiz-kid, or at worst you get some free food when no one’s looking.
I don’t think Enis can be trusted to know what he says he knows.
For that matter, he probably can’t be trusted to think what he says he thinks, or even that he says what he says that he says.
Now, THAT’s untrustworthy.
The corporate scheming proceeds apace. Oh, what fodder for comic strips, the Machiavellian shenanigans of potential Bigwigs…
I picture Lowell as one of the few people who could name a dozen department heads at his university, but not the coach. Typically, it’s the other way around.
I own a couple of Ohio State University hats and shirts, acquired during the Festival Of Cartoon Art they used to host. I get a kick out of people who see me in the park or someplace and say, “Yeah! OSU!”. I usually say, “Yeah! Billy Ireland Museum of Cartoon Art! … oh, I understand the school has a sports team or something, too, right?”
I get some weird looks.
Lawn furniture. Not good to sleep on. Shower curtains. Not really curtains, per se.
But all waterproof, when needed.
If you marry a doctor lady, though? She’ll make you get couches and miniblinds.
Seems fitting to take a minute to thank everyone for supporting Hubris, whether by reading it or doing even more- sharing links to the site on social media, telling a friend to check out the site, clicking on the ads, clicking on the Vote Hubris button, donating at the ‘You & Hubris’ button, being a Patreon patron, or buying a book. Thanks, everyone! All that stuff is really helpful in keeping Hubris afloat.
And I should welcome the two new Patrons that joined up last month, which means that this month, Patreon says I get to send you your goodies.
So, again, thanks for reading, clicking, sharing, telling, tip-jarring, patronning, buying, voting and anything else you do. Like commenting. That’s fun, too. Do that.
