  • All this is correct. But I’ll also add the following:

    Most people probably DGAF if their password for work is compromised. They have no skin in the game for whatever their data entry or email is for BigCorp, they’re treated like “monkey push button, monkey get banana,” forced to jump through password hoops and they’re sick of doing it every few weeks or months. So they use the simplest they can get away with and the easiest to remember so they don’t have to call some corpo IT help desk that will roll their eyes at yet another password reset.












  • Companies don’t make anything new anymore. All the amazing leaps in design and technology we’ve enjoyed over the last multiple decades are finished. They cost too much…a negative expense on quarterly report.

    What’s cheap and effective? Shrinkflation. Cutting employee benefits. Stagnating wages. Decreasing quality. Removing employees and replacing them with AI or other automation. Cutting customer service. Forcing people to use apps. Finding new ways to unbundle, insert fees, or force another middleman between customers and what they want.

    It’s a perverse Matrix, the “coppertop” is us, and they’re extracting everything they can from us to keep their system going and the line moving up.
