This may be true but nobody trusts your employer. The shadiest drips downward too, with the mob-like way they treated Dr. Buckmaster.

I'm transitioning to being a carpenter of sorts. I think it has a lot in common with design/dev. My dad is a contractor, he's lousy at marketing but manages to stay busy. He likes to say "All I do is pick up the phone when people call, and it's more than my competition does".

There’s probably a vast difference btwn what the state says it costs the maintain them, and what it costs this guy. Really wish there were more opportunities for the public to do stuff like this. There’s been a light out in the alley near me for years and the city won’t fix it. I’d happily do it myself if it was allowed.

Yep, he’s doing to other countries what he’s done to contractors, plumbers, and other tradesmen for years.

One nice thing about being on the spectrum is that you can spot morally sketchy situations more clearly—or at least more clearly than most normies. I once walked out of a pitch meeting where we were trying to land a client that completely clashed with a solid, well-paying client we already had. I couldn’t believe no one else saw the huge conflict of interest. No one batted an eyelash.

The gamut is much wider
