Tip for folks who get the "work for free for us because we're a non-profit" line. To sort through it, look up their IRS "990" which lists executive salaries. I've had NGOs that pay their executives high six & seven(!) figures tell me they don't pay because they're a "non-profit."

Being a Republican senator is the same job as NFL commissioner. You can have a 12% approval rating but if you keep 30 rich dudes happy you will make millions and absolutely cannot be fired

One of the bridge crew would be an alien from the episode "DARMOK", and he could only speak in Star Trek episode metaphors.
"Kirk, with the Iotians, teaching Fizbin."
"Geordie when he soured the milk."
"Tuvix his pleas ignored."

I'm going to be really honest with you. No, I haven't heard that podcast, and I'm almost certainly not going to start listening to it even though I appreciate you telling me about it.

All the talk about ex-Presidents being "private citizens" aside, that's absolutely not how they are treated by Government.
— Absurdistwords (@absurdistwords) February 9, 2021
Ex-Presidents are entitled to:
$219,000 a year for life ($20k for spouses)
Gov't healthcare
Lifetime Secret Service detail
A permanent staff...
"Are you sure you want to do that?"

"What is your marching order?"
"Who is standing near the door?"
"Does anyone have a Perception over N?"
"Does anyone have a Will save over N?"
"You don't *detect* any traps..."
"Just wondering, any plans for a backup character?"
Instead of top people in tech, a legit good show would be to interview mid level managers and individual contributors at tech companies because they are the ones that really know how to do shit. https://t.co/AD2DVJHIDK
