Except in most instances it's not the buyer who pays the commission it's the seller...

That scene was one of the most difficult ones to watch (Archie Bunker's Place I think is the name of the spinoff series)

I was always under the impression that family guy's intro was also a bit of an homage to All in the Family but I don't know how many people would know that or if it's even true

Not sure how it is in other countries, but I always assumed that a "life" sentence at least in the US just meant anything over 25 years

Mainly because sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and it should be enjoyed as such.

I work for Amazon corporate. I can emphatically agree that right now, and for the past few post-COVID years, Amazon's only obsession is near term quarterly profits for stakeholders by any means necessary. To hell with long term investments. They are slowly sabotaging themselves internally with a lot of unpopular and frankly idiotic and nonsensical decisions that will ultimately result in cascading failure after failure. The enshittification continues.

I recently came dangerously close to having to use LinkedIn as my job was up in the air for awhile due to RTO shenanigans. I knew it was always a site for shilling but when I reactivated my account to update my resume, my God the amount of corporate back patting was insane. People I knew IRL as down to earth hardworking folks, were shilling so hard for a company that couldn't give two fucks less who they are and were using every buzz word from the white-collar, salaried company bootlicker playbook in every post.

Now, I know that's "the game" and if you want to get ahead you have to play, so I can't blame them for grinding, but at the same time, fuck that. I guess I'm fine being where I am and never moving up because I refuse to play that BS.
