How much good work have the people reading this thread had to trash because it didn't align with Q3 OKRs? How much time and energy did they put into garbage solutions because they had to hit a KPI by the last day of June?

How is this a real submission?

Yes, a day job is easier, because a day job has a very real cap on your renumeration. Work for a company, create a product, have that product generate $50 million p/a in sales? Cool, you're still making the same bi-weekly $3000.

This is literally by design, and if you don't see it, what's going on?

I would love to see any rigorously documented causation or even correlation between police budgets and crime rates.

I didn't have it in the US in the 1980s, and my wife didn't have it in Poland in the 1980s/1990s either.
