It's just a classic bureaucratic structure issue, where they function as the Enforcer of Rules - but sometimes those rules are to help you (harassment you suffered) and sometimes they hurt you (layoffs) and in instances like "am I fairly compensated" they wear conflicting hats
I can't bc one of them hates democracy and the republic and believes deeply evil things in his heart and the other is a smarmy politician, this is a no brainer

Are you familiar with the schism of 1054
Wait where do you fall on the "being a millionaire doesn't mean anything" spectrum
That's not true being a millionaire is not the norm and many well off comfortable people are not even close to being millionaires

Xlookup is the goat in quick cases
Uhh honestly I have no idea

The ESPN documentary does a great showing why OJ was a sport legend and also the biggest piece of shit that side of the Mississippi
