Consider this scenario, your child is holding your hand, and the two of you are talking about the exhibit, a military age man grabs your child and throws them into the exhibit. Mom or Dad would not be calmly holding that child's hand with enough force to keep the hand from slipping out.
Who has trained for that?
The comment is appreciated, but I note there is no discussion of the premise presented.
The "Relics" or Boomers busted their tails and WERE rewarded for all of themselves they gave companies, to now, be in the position of authority, demand the same level of sacrifice they gave, BUT block and thwart advancement and reward.
The "whine" portion of the response may allude to the corporate tactic of 'carrot and stick'. Have a great Standingoak!
My soap box, another boomer occupying a job that should be filled by someone much younger. This, in part, is the same mentality throughout corporate American where the boomers are running companies into the ground, bleeding workers dry, and not getting out of the way for the next age group of Americans.
There are two coworkers in my group that each have 50 years with the company. Each could retire comfortably or consult for more money, but they stay while 30 year olds with kids get "laid off".
I saw a video of a Dr., he said the topical cream formulated for humans is 1% and mentions using horse paste at 1.87% Here is a link, it's not the video I am remembering, but same topic.
Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw and current engineer at OpenAI, posted a screenshot of a $1.3 million monthly token bill in May 2026.
Usage: The bill covered 603 billion tokens across 7.6 million requests from approximately 100 Codex instances running GPT-5.5 simultaneously. Cost Drivers: The high cost was largely due to Fast Mode pricing; disabling it would have reduced the bill to approximately $300,000. Purpose: The tokens were used for autonomous software development tasks, including reviewing pull requests, scanning for security vulnerabilities, and writing code for his open-source project. Who Paid: OpenAI covered the cost as a research investment, as Steinberger joined the company in February 2026.
When companies start paying for tokens, and the swirling money gets to the data center construction companies, this is going to expose the true cost. What happens next? Will fired workers return?
We just used a 55 ton crane, $300/hr., operator was maybe 28. He said he invested $10k in all his certs and training. He worked for us on a Saturday, and I know his Friday wrapped up about 7 pm.
Your paying for the crane out of that, but good income for the operator and owners.

Does the math add up here? How many people are in a 3 story Hampton Inn? Plus just food service for that many?
