Was visiting a friend in small-town Illinois many years back, and we went to a restaurant owned by a husband and wife and named after (confirmed by said friend) them: Sam & Ella's.

Fuckin' bean-counters who look at only a narrow slice of metrics. Reminds me of corporate "looking to the future" meaning "nothing beyond MAYBE next month's RoI for stockholders & nothing else." There's no stability, no *commitment*, yet Bidness Geenyuses constantly wonder why it's all so volatile.

Him: the $40 people are def using it
Me: no, they're using photoshop at various levels of skill
Him: *radiates skepticism*
Me: *radiates fury*
