    That is the takeaway when you look at some of those Peter Principle’d sorts that don’t get fired because the owner knows them.

    The applicants recognize that competent work doesn’t guarantee a job half as much as being a yes-man to an insecure executive. They believe they just have to get in the door.





  • …and people who want to hide in the shadows, there’s no reason to do that when you’re buying a vacuum off me and want to come to my home to pick it up.

    As a buyer of random trash, I really don’t want anyone to know more than they have to. The only identifying details about me should be “paid $13.65 for a set of glittery plastic tableware.” In whatever ledger you keep for those sort of things.

    I got a promotional text message from a store I bought a single repair component from once in a state I never visited. It made me irrationally upset. I would not accuse you of such, but every action to verify someone’s “personhood” means that marketing types have that much more access to try to sell me junk.
