Not quite middle class people, but otherwise correct:

From Wikipedia

In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide.

In the 30+ year old words of Bill Hicks:

They believe the bible is the exact word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, huh? "I think what God meant to say..."

Glad to hear its not universal.

No experience I've had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

Not saying that for-profit companies don't have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.

That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It's not an experience I'd be excited to repeat.

It's a really fun audiobook, if that's your thing!

I started the Irish flag that ended up running to intersect the Enterprise. I would never have had it erase the 1701, and tried to move the flag up!

Still, I did learn about this place on the back of it.... Happy to be aboard!
