I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

People are getting raises though. We recently left a long period of stagnated wage growth.

My last raise was less than $2k/year. Our CEO got a raise of $50k… inflation has turned my “raise” into a loss. They’re throwing Pennies at everyone hoping they think they’re getting millions. Don’t fall for it.
