also screw you for trying to make the answer to ‘How should those resources be allocated?’ be ‘In the way that best enriches me personally’.

It’s really, really hard to find a new manual these days that isn’t, like, a sports car. When I bought my little manual-transmission hatchback in 2016 I’m pretty sure I was getting the last vestiges.

Neither am I - but the results usually aren’t worse than Google’s, and with fewer ads.

You say that, but Google has explicitly been made worse in order to force people to look through more search results, so that Google can make more money on ads. Remember when you could use logical operators in search criteria to get better results?

You can’t make Google’s search results better, though, and their decline in search results quality is why I’ve stopped using Google altogether.

• Overpromise
• Reap investment dollars
• Talk big talk
• Before being called on to deliver, move on to the next thing to overpromise
• Underdeliver, or just completely fail to deliver
