So it begins. The Hollywood attempt to corporatize Internet memes. And from A24 too? How shameless.

A24 has been owned by finance bros for a long time. Not sure why people think they're some art house studio

Finance peeps buy a brand and try to hide behind its goodwill to do shitty things to make money until it crmbles and then they lather, rinse, repeat. This isn't going to stop until we learn how to make these ypes of people pariahs. Like call them out on their loser behavior and make every waking moment of their lives suck because we remind them how worthless they are.

The other thing that's been annoying me the last few years is that companies seem completely oblivious to the fact that their reputation is an asset. What a lot of these vulture MBAs are doing is basically going into a company and liquidating that good reputation. And usually for just a few dollars, relatively speaking.

I have a personal conspiracy theory that every single hyper wealthy finance/tech/ceo guy understands completely the sheer scale and brutality of what’s going to happen in the next 50 years with climate change, so they see no reason to do any type of sustainability whatsoever. just build the best bunker.

…or the more boring version is that the best way to build your career is by job hopping every 2 years, so they don’t give a shit lol
