    “Your computer has detected your credit card and is automatically purchasing items it thinks you need” was a very old Dilbert comic strip.

        People can make the best things while being absolutely horrid and morally bankrupt. Demeaning a bad person’s abilities lowers our guard against predatory meritocrats and gives them cover.

          The comics weren’t really that good. They just hit it right with a their target audience and that was because his readers would send Adams their stories. That’s no secret. I honestly stopped reading them before he got political because it was getting repetitive and boring. I remember being done with him before he called fossils bullshit. There’s only so many “Boss is Dumb” strips you can make before you’re scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
