   Pikachu !  :-)

   Maybe a "Minion" !!!

   Those ought to be about the mental level of
   today's 'users'.

   As for "Microsoft Developers" ... I just think they
   want big money for doing basically nothing. That's
   the Gen-Z/A2 paradigm. They "just deserve" the high
   life because, well, Just Because .........

   A long time back, a niece, maybe 3rd cousin, about
   12 years old asked why anybody should DO anything,
   just hand out Free Money. "Well, if nobody is doing
   anything, what do you buy ?" Answer - "just buy it
   from some other place !". "If nobody here is doing
   anything, making anything, why would our money be
   worth anything to them ? It'd just be paper with
   numbers on it." She didn't have an answer for that.

   She wasn't STUPID - indeed probably IQ-130 - but
   she and her crowd had never even been informed how
   money/economies WORK, how the value of money is
   tied to DOING/MAKING stuff. This seems criminally
   negligent - 'socialists/communists' behind it.

   This was latter Gen-Y ... it's MUCH worse now.

   As for little Cuz ... she's spent a lot of her
   life in jail, or dodging jail, for a lot of
   little offenses. Not a happy ending.
