But also, this is what we reap from the "everyone gets a trophy" culture we've built. You can't ever yell at someone or tell them they're an idiot. So all the useless idiots just keep happily bumbling along, thinking they are useful and fucking things up for those of us who just wish we could outsource certain things instead of having to learn everything ourselves. I say this as someone who has painted a van, cuts hair, and put a concrete floor in a garage. I'd happily pay someone to do any of these things--as long as they didn't brutally ass-rape me and could do at least as good a job as I could do after watching a couple YouTube videos.
I feel like it would be great to be stupid. Because then you could just overpay for shitty work and have no idea you were getting ass-raped. I mean, you'd still be getting ass-raped. But you'd be *happy* about being ass-raped.
