Good call, you are right. I was wrong. It’s been a while since I saw Keaton and Nicholson.

You’re both absolutely right, my bad.

Don’t treat the new Speaker of the House that way!

(srsly tho, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already had business cards printed)

Mark Hurd, another former ceo, sexually harassed anything moved.

HP’s ceo hires have been…interesting. They’ve all been pretty bad.

I beg to differ.

The old LaserJet 4s, 5s, the IIs and IIIs, the 8000 series, all those were great, well built printers with metal frames and heavy duty parts. They were made to last.

We still have a LaserJet 5M that prints reports hooked up to an airgapped Linux server. The printer never breaks down or needs anything more than toner. Yes, it’s slow. Amusingly slow. The page count is over 250k. The fuser is starting to ghost but it’s easily replaced. We just don’t care enough to do it right now. The printer doesn’t care.

Try this with any printer built after the Fiorina era and you’d be hard pressed to.

I’m all ears if you have a specific model in mind that was shit before Carly. Because, before her, HP was an industry leader. Now it’s cheap plastic junk, and it’s squarely on her failure as CEO that led to the company’s demise.

Carly Fiorina destroyed HP. She tanked product quality by using cheap plastic parts instead of metal and she can’t manage people. She’s a terrible leader and on a personal level she’s just not right in the head, as she embraces trumpism, is racist, elitist, etc.
