one of the wall street oligarch meetings wasn't me meeting them and more like I was minding my own business enjoying a most sumptuous breakfast and was rudely dragged into meeting that cranky old fucking boomer who was arguing with some dipshit techbro over him throwing techno-buzzwords that few over the boomer's head on why the boomer should invest into his start up venture capitalist pump-and-dump scheme which lead to a multi-hour lecture on how the boomer oligarch takes inspiration from the greatest managers of history such as napoleon, alexander the great, and sun tzu, among other absolutely inane shit that made me want to lobotomize myself with my fork because the new generation doesn't know how to manage their assets anymore. Sitting through that really made me really question whether or not the world would be better or worse off with the oligarch boomers continuing their iron-fisted rule or the techbros supplanting them as the oligarchs that rule as the high priests of capitalism.

I'm so sorry you had to meet all these people. You work in finance right? I thankfully am able to avoid these types even though I'm also very close but it seems in finance you kind of have to socialize/network as part of the job
