Yeah, i was just talking to bill gates about taking over for him when he's done at microsoft. I told him, i said "Bill, when i start working here i want to be pulled around by software engineers in a golden chariot. Make it so." And he was all like "That's the great thing about the american marketplace, the people are free to work where they want with compensation packages they like."

Wait, no, that didn't happen. Because no one is free to work where they want for a compensation package they like. In reality, people take what they can get because having a really shitty job that you hate pays the bills the same way that a great one does.
