Americans
I’m American and for as long as I’ve been alive I always got the sense that Americans are not respected but just tolerated. Mostly because of our military.
Thats kinda just terminally online folk. That and western europe, but those guys suck any way.
Ow… My feelings…

Reddit
Was Reddit really ever well respected? From what I’ve seen even before the current drama it was recognized as “the neck beard platform” or something along those lines.
Yeah, there was always some stigma involved, even when it became mainstream
especially when it became mainstream
Rudy Giuliani - from taker down of the mob, via America’s mayor, to talking nonsense outside a sex shop, to… whatever he is now…
Quite a fall.

Bank managers used to be very well paid and respected on par with doctors and lawyers and now are just clerks
clerics
Unsure if intended? You probably meant clerks
But then again clerics also works since they probably do worship capitalism as if it were a religion
You right lol I must be playing too many RPGs lately

Chain restaurants. All of them eventually turn to shit. Buffalo Wild Wings was LEGIT when they first started. They had .50 wing nights. Now they have tiny ass overpriced wings. Same with Chipotle. They used to have amazing burritos the size of your head, and now they are tiny and take an hour to get.
Buffalo Wild Wings and Taco Bell could stop acting as restaurants and just sell their sauces in grocery stores and turn mad profit. That’s the only way I consume either of those brands.
Buffalo wild wings does sell their sauces in the grocery. We go mad over Asain Zing
- Sell cheap, good food
- Develop a national brand/reputation
- Now that you have a differentiated product that has a good reputation and a brand people are loyal to, raise prices

- Profit
- Switch to the cheapest ingredients you can find.
I got a head sized burrito at chipotle yesterday that took two minutes. For me the issue is the peice. Total was $11 for a chicken burrito and chips and salsa. Not terrible imo but I miss $6.90 burritos. Buffalo wild wings is rough though.

Business Leaders. Before the CEO salary explosion, the opinions of business leaders were respected. Now everything they do and say is suspect as gaming the system for short term stock gain.

Stocks. Investing in a corporation for earnings and dividends was once seen as a valid way to invest your money. Now stocks are all about finding the next wave and cashing out before they collapse.
Profitable companies should be legally required to dispense a minimum percentage of profits as dividends.
Profitable companies should be required to dispense a minimum percentage of profits as wages.
