We are increasingly ruled over by a class of glorified used car salesmen who are convinced they’re Steve Jobs

@Daojoan real estate agents?

@franksting @Daojoan Definitely real estate agents - once they’ve sold it to you they then get you to pay rent to keep using it for the rest of your life - and they can collect their 8% commission for just for collecting the money because they sure as hell don’t maintain the thing you bought from them.

@Daojoan it would be an insult to stan to call them all clones of stan from monkey island

The bourgeois state only improves in its wickedness.

@Daojoan this is among the most succinct ways of describing the Silicon Valley elite I have heard in a while.

Turing Incomplete Oct 1

@Daojoan So, used car salesmen think they are new car salesmen?

𝓐𝓷𝓭𝔂𝓣𝓲𝓮𝓭𝔂𝓮 𓀤 Oct 1

Selling used junkers and calling them "new".

@dawngreeter @Daojoan

@Daojoan that is not a kind way to talk about used car salesmen

@StOnSoftware truth

Good observation…

@Daojoan who was only barely not a used car salesman himself

@zbrown Yeah, Steve Jobs shuffled off the mortal coil in part because his "genius" was nearly all hype, and he got high on his own supply.

@Daojoan no. All power Tech Bros have is eagerly donated by crazed, suicidal GOP bigot voters. That's who rules us, unfortunately.

@Daojoan To true.

@Daojoan @marcoarment And Steve Jobs was bad already.

@Daojoan Time to crack out that old joke:
What’s the difference between a software salesperson and a used car salesperson?

@Daojoan Only one of them **knows** they are lying.

implying Steve Jobs wasn't a glorified used car salesman.
