It doesn’t get better. My nephew just turned 20. Did you know mullets are a thing again? Not just as a joke but actually a thing. To his credit he doesn’t have one. But his buddies do.

The other side of it is that I’m getting that way with several 60+ dudes around. Especially when they’re by god going to tell me how it is. Like I haven’t been paying attention the last 20 ****ing years, haven’t lived through as bad of a drought as there has been in their lifetimes, experienced as big of a % price swing as they’ve had in their lifetimes, don’t have even a cursory understanding of profit drivers despite having a goddamned MBA. I want to buy some radio ads and put out a PSA along the lines of “Look. I’m sorry you grew up in a time when margins are better. A 5 second glance at the industry lifecycle on google would solve a lot of life’s mysteries for you. Here’s a guide to interacting with Buehler445:

1. I don’t watch Fox News nor do I care what’s on their programs.
2. I have a good handle on my business. Don’t tell me how to run it. Ya ****.
3. Further, I have no interest in what you believe can or can’t exist in the business environment.

Have a great day. “

I’m actually pretty fortunate that most of the people I interact with live in the real world. But the longer I’m in business the more (perhaps criminally) pragmatic I’ve become and the less tolerance I have for hog shit. Keep that shit out of my life
