    He had already figured out the Bed. Already faced and understood the Bath. The only further place to explore, was the Beyond.

    Our consumerism has cursed us. The Bed Bath and Beyond’s and Circuit cities are just part of it.

    The backbone is weak and fragile. I think it will be in my lifetime that we see a lot of options of things change. Like no more chili with cheese in it. From here on out it’s strictly chili without cheese… You’ll have to buy the cheese and add it to a can of regular chili yourself.

    And brick and Mortar stores are just going to continue getting smashed. It’s foolish for people to think they can save Gamestop.

    He was beyond saving his job, and the Compay was taking a bath, and he put himself to bed.

    Was he Russian, by any chance? Russians are very careless around high windows.

    He took the fall. This reminds me of the Lukoil executives being wasted by an "unknown" entity.
