Why did the chicken cross the road?To munch on bugs where the garden grows.Seeds and corn and grains oh myVeggies and worms give them a try. Why did the chicken cross the road?To lunch on snacks where the garden grows.

They promised us a better way.With prices fixed and rules to play.They said the market&#39;s too wild and freeCould never bring us harmony. But now the shelves are empty here.We&#39;re promised more in a year.The dreams they sold have turned to dust.In planned economy we don&#39;t trust. Price controls they tie our hands.Definitionally a broken plan.Makes a great campaign and votes gained.But any help that&#39;s claimed comes with chains. Minimum wage, they set it high.Just a control on labor&#39;s price.They said it&#39;s fair, they said it&#39;s right.Now robots do those jobs at night. No such thing as a price too steep.It&#39;s just the market&#39;s call to meet.The need that rises clear and loud.Shortage signaled, solved by the crowd. Price controls they bind our feet.Eliminate the will to compete.You say greed, I say supply.Can&#39;t rely on altruism, guy. If you ban prices rising high.All it does is fuel the lie.If goods are scarce the lines grow long.Make markets bare, black markets strong. Means stuff for me, but not for thee.All the expertise of the DMV.Send the signal and get the goods.Don&#39;t need the state, don&#39;t need Tom Woods. So let the markets lead again.Prices show both what and when.No feel-good fluff legislation.We can&#39;t change nature with a pen.

Ballad of Price Controls

Twenty new hires (nothing else worth mentioning) stats dumpster fire (but it&#39;s not worth questioning) It&#39;s all great news, we&#39;re a reorg awayfrom profitability Office is quiet (for more focused energy)Desks may be empty (but that&#39;s just efficiency)Pivoting excellence, disrupting space A Ted talk smile on my face Great news, great news, everything&#39;s fantastic Our growth is organic (and our cuts are so drastic) Great news, great news, we&#39;re ahead of the curve ignore the layoffs, it&#39;s the success we deserve No raises this quarter, but think of the pride you&#39;ll feel No bonuses to distract from our purpose so real retirement matching? That&#39;s old-fashioned thinking, friend We&#39;re investing in your growth (that&#39;s where the benefits end) Reorg departments (bringing synergistic flow)Everyone&#39;s quitting (that&#39;s a signal of greatness)Investors are running, surely you knowthat means profit -buhdum-ching- Great news, great news, everything&#39;s fantastic Our growth is organic (though our cuts are quite drastic) Great news, great news, we&#39;re ahead of the curve ignore the layoffs, it&#39;s the success we deserve

Let&#39;s circle back and touch base soon.  We need to pivot by this afternoon.  Leverage our synergy, make it lean  Best practices for the winning team.    We&#39;re disrupting paradigms with actionable insights  Leveraging our core competencies, reaching new heights  Think outside the box, it&#39;s a win-win game  In this ecosystem of corporate speak, we all sound the same    Let&#39;s drill down on the deliverables  Right size our solutions, make them scalable  Low hanging fruit and quick wins to grab  What we ideate in our innovation lab    At the end of the day  We&#39;ll move the needle in a big way  Take it offline, then we&#39;ll reconvene  to optimize our customer journey machine    We&#39;re disrupting paradigms with actionable insights  Leveraging our core competencies, reaching new heights  Think outside the box, it&#39;s a win-win game  In this ecosystem of corporate speak, we all sound the same    So let&#39;s align our stakeholder vision  Make data driven decisions  Cause when we sing in corporate tounge  We sound like robots, not humans.

At The End of The Day

Jenkins walked down a dark lonely roadConfusion heavy, a mind that never slowed.With containers in hand, he staggered and swayedBut through the haze, he tried oh how he prayed. Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Lost in the cloud, but you kept moving along.Intoxicated dreams you did your best.But Github actions had a plan, laid your soul to rest. You stumbled through shadows, no place to be.Slack chat full of questions, trying to break free.The pipelines spun around him, a twisted carousel.But Jenkins just laughed at the tolling of the bell. Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Lost in the cloud, but you kept moving along.Intoxicated dreams you did your best.But Github actions had a plan, laid your soul to rest. He whispered to the stars, just show me the way.But the moon only sighed, as it started to fade.In the end he was found still a smile on his face.And the same little mustache, bowtie, and cliches. Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Running Bash inside Groovy inside Java all along.Convoluted schemes you did your best.But devops had a plan, laid your soul to rest. Now the reflogs remember the steps that he took.A tale of a man in the corners of a book.Jenkins you wandered but you found your wayTo your final deployment at the end of the day

Jenkins' Lament
