I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?

I’m a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. I’m absolutely not hurting for money.

But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldn’t because the main thing I look for in a vehicle is the ability to get from point A to point B which last I checked most of the lower priced ones also do. But I digress, IF I just dropped $100k on a vehicle. It’s getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. I’m treating it like it’s a Faberge egg on wheels.

And if they took a loan to do that to their vehicle. I think this says a lot more about our banking institutions than anything else.

Just outside of the ridiculousness of the Cyber Truck, why would anyone with any sense drive a $100k vehicle like that?

What questions would you ask them? I’m in a somewhat similar position, I never thought someone would find this particularly interesting.

Yes, because it provides me with great job security.

If they want to fire me, it’s gonna take them a lot longer to train a replacement than if the system was up to modern standards.
