I don't consider myself an incredibly intelligent person but what I've noticed is that the ones on the lower end of the scale don't understand the consequences of a bad situation and the truly intelligent ones understand the best way to deal with issues is optimistic/realistic. Very situational.

I felt like it might be offensive to include in the original post but I started wondering this as I was watching a lady take care of her little brother with special needs. Both in their 50s and recently lost their father. I could tell he understood that his dad had gone away and he was showing some distress but it made me wonder how well he understands the situation and if that affects their ability to process it emotionally.

All that to basically say I'm wondering if ignorance really is bliss

When people say "climbing the corporate ladder" the only image that comes to mind is a ladder shape made of coworkers and whoever is capable of stepping on more heads is declared the winner

I don't know about McDonald's but it seems like a 50/50 between a Michelin recognized restaurant or an involuntary organ donation centre

That's actually wild. I don't doubt it because more than a few wrenches were tossed into the supply chain but avocados in my specific city have been dirt cheap for a few months

Been a while since econ 101 but I think tariffs are calculated as a cost of production shifting the supply curve to the left and also decreasing demand which shifts the demand curve to the left as well which should result in a nearly net zero impact for the company itself.

Anecdotally, avocado prices have plummeted in Canada due to American demand "decreasing" resulting in excess supply.

I agree that laws should be applied equally to everyone and I would never suggest otherwise. In this context, malicious would mean intent. So in legal terminology it would be the difference between 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree murder, or manslaughter.

Just to clarify, what would you consider necessary manipulation? Disregarding the malicious component for a moment even.

No question from me but it's a breath of fresh air to hear your situation took a 180°. Keep at it.
