🚨 Let me explain what happened in 2008 because nobody's connecting the dots..
> In 2008 companies started giving out "peanut butter raises." Tiny pay bumps spread thin across everyone so nobody felt special but nobody could complain either..
> Then mass layoffs hit.. 2.6 million jobs gone in a single year...
its crazy the raises weren't generosity.. they were the quiet part before the loud part.. Companies were buying time while they figured out who to cut..
> Now Fortune is reporting the exact same pattern is back... Nearly half of companies are doing peanut butter raises again right now..
But here's what's different this time
> In 2008 they laid you off and hired someone cheaper... The job still existed... Someone still sat in your chair
> In 2026 they lay you off and nobody sits in your chair. The chair is gone... The desk is gone... A $20/month AI subscription is doing what you did and it doesn't need a raise next year either..
> Forbes just reported 93% of US jobs can be partly done by AI.. Same day... Same week companies started freezing pay..
Last time this happened millions of Americans lost their jobs
This time the jobs aren't coming back. there's no recovery hire... the job itself stops existing.. AI is eating them all
The peanut butter raise is the last nice thing they'll ever do for you. Enjoy it

No Adam, what really happened is you lied repeatedly and tried to gaslight and then tried to move the topic to anything other than the fact that you lied and I finally just got tired of peeing with you and blocked you. You’re a pathological liar everyone on earth knows you’re completely full of shit and don’t know anything about football. Don’t have any sources on anything and are willing to say literally anything to get interaction and attention.
The entire Chicago fan base was in my mentions laughing at you and posting screenshots of things you said that were racist to homophobic and how you completely missed on every prediction you’ve ever made
When I tell you to fuck off, I mean you need to do that for your own good before I start showing everybody what kind of person you really are

I asked Benjamin Albright simple questions regarding whether he stated an opinion or a source to "Maxx Crosby's preferred destination is Chicago"
Now, I came at him aggressively because I knew it was a lie he was trying to use his status for to perpetuate a rumor and give himself clout. Nevertheless...
.
He engaged in 40+ Tweets attacking and slandering me which ultimately resulted in this...
Just trying to hold people accountable when they lie. (BTW, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see Maxx Crosby in Burnt Orange and Navy Blue, get it done Ryan Poles)

@TheDunkCentral @NBA__Courtside Would love to know a single, solitary thing Anthony Edwards does better than Jokic. There are 10 players like Edwards every decade. There’s been one Jokic in the history of basketball.

Rich Paul says Ant is the best player in the NBA 👀
“You can’t watch a game on any given night against anybody and look at that game and say, ‘Oh, that person is better than Anthony Edwards.’ I love Jokic, but no.”
