My grandma actually recommended I do this last year. I was already contacting AAA about some other thing, and jokingly brought up road trips. They went, "Yeah we can help!" I was kinda adorable.
The economy...
I felt like I skipped this. People my age went to pagers, then sidekick phones, then touch screens.
I went from beeper, to flip phone, then palm pilot.
I must have had serious Wallstreet Stock Broker energy as a teenager.
I always have both an appreciation and judge people who do things like this.
I appreciate it because it's neat that people are willing to go the distance for the fun of it. People who limit themselves to specific tech or libraries. People who code for old tech like those who make brand new "retro" games, or code for Pico-8.
Then the judgement comes in. Just... Jackie chan why.
I still appreciate the dedication!

Sam's Club is boosting pay for nearly 100,000 hourly workers, with the retail chain's starting wage rising by a buck to $16.
Sam's Club is owned by walmart.
$16 an hour is $33,280.
Walmart's CEO was compensated $26.9 million. Thats $12,930.00 an hour.
Walmart revenue over the past few years
Ah cool, modern day slavery.
My theory continues to stand:
If you want to legally threaten,kill and harm people because that's your fetish, be a police officer.
Was headhunted for a position at Amazon. But the recruiter said "You might be doing more than your usual 9 to 5. (Min 40 hours)"
And I told her that I sometimes do like 30 hours a week and my team plays video games for the remaining 5-10 hours together.
And she actually got mad at me for saying that.
"Just tell me what type of material is the road. Come on!"
