![]() Kate reads the article about Plaintiff-Full and tells Chuck about it. Wags tells Victor to leak it to the press so Chuck becomes aware of Plaintiff-Full and starts investigating it. He basically says they can bait Chuck into going after them because he will be looking for a big, juicy case to protect his reputation and not let the college ballots thing get too much attention if it gets out. Victor tells Wags about Plaintif-Full, a shady company, with a bank charter (revealed later). ![]() Axe tells Bill to get Victor on finding another bank charter. Is this on purpose?īill tells Axe there's a way around the obstacles of getting a bank charter and shows Chuck's college pics to Axe. It's either A) a misdirection, and this story arc is far from over, and he'll come back and dominate in his revenge like he always does, B) an in-story commentary on how one fairly harmless accusation wielded maliciously can get someone fired, or C) a way for the writers to ditch the Yale storyline because they decided it wasn't going anywhere interesting, or they lost Julianna Margulies (clearly - they wrote her off and their breakup off-screen) who was integral to where they were heading with that plot.Īll those young finance people seem so obnoxious and really easy to dislike. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but I'm having a hard time reading it as anything but a subtle plausibly-deniable dismissal of their pronouns. What's the implication behind the question mark? Your sentence would be grammatically and socially accurate regardless. In any case, I couldn't care less about Apple, it's just that they're the go-to example when talking about premium pricing strategies, and arguing that a bloody $1,000 monitor stand -as a particularly funny example- is anything but whale-bait is about the silliest hill to die on.īut you do you I've got no interest in rehashing the same dull discussion that takes place anytime that the pricing strategies of this company are brought up in a public forum. And even when talking about everyday simple tasks, Linux -and even Windows for that matter- performs better on Apple hardware than Apple's own OS. If you take the time to learn the basics, you'll find that every top-level service worth a thing -including the servers that this very website runs on- uses Linux. If you say this, you either don't understand computers or you're some kind of Linux fanboy.Įasily 80% of my work from the last couple of decades has been done through computers, so I'd like to think that I know a thing or two about them.Īs a side note, if you are using "Linux fanboy" as an attempt at an insult, then perhaps you're the one who doesn't understand one bit about computers. This is so common that it's an actual known pricing strategy known as premium pricing, which consists of selling average quality products at unnecessarily high prices solely to take the money from these kind of people: Apple hardware, Beats headphones, Evian/Fiji water, Alienware computers, or Jordan shoes are common examples these are products which are of equal or lower quality than their cheaper counterparts and their success comes from a mixture of ignorance/improper research and people buying them as a status symbol. One young man asked his friend which vodka he liked/wanted, and the other one replied with a "just grab the most expensive one". This also happens with minor purchases just last week I was buying groceries, walking through the liquors section. You can usually find this happening with actors, musicians or athletes who have some success for a couple of years and throw it away in a dozen sports cars and 3 mansions that they can't even afford to maintain a decade later because nobody remembers them by then. This is rather common in real life among the so-called nouveau riche some don't use their newly acquired money for themselves, but instead waste it in a desperate attempt to display that they have it. ![]() It's the same with his question about splattering it with paint he doesn't understand why people wear one kind of clothes or another he's just trying to imitate those around him to try and fit, which is always obnoxious, as it comes as obviously fake. He's just trying to fit the image that he believes that other rich people expect from him. It makes sense given the context: The Gucci jacket guy -can't remember his name- is insecure, young and impressionable, and he spends most of his time surrounded by people who tell him that money is everything every other minute. Is this on purpose? Like, I have money I owe you. LinksĪlso, all those young finance people seem so obnoxious and really easy to dislike. No spoilers in submission titles are allowed.
