this is why i save money and spend less, so i can amass wealth until I have "fuck you" money where I can just dip if they start this shit on me.

Save some of your money in Monero. Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Once shit hits the fan, Monero is Digital Gold.

Or just save it in actual money instead

That's what I said. You're a moron if you think the USD will retain value.

As a software engineer myself, I am pretty confident that this is not going to have the effect that Shah thinks it will

I'm going to be honest. I've met quite a few ex Wayfair employes. Working longer isn't going to solve their problems.

  1. Wayfare throws so much fucking inventory into the trash, just ask anyone who's ordered from them. Seriously, everyone who has ordered from Wayfare has a "they fucked up and then sent me 3 couches for free" story.
  2. The decision making at Wayfare is stupid. I've met quite a few ex wayfare or current workers looking to leave, some stuff sounds cool but it's never really helping the business get better.

Wayfare's reputation at this point is "shittier than IKEA, and you'll get the wrong thing"

Last two times I’ve ordered from them, I’ve wound up with extra stuff. I ordered a set of 8 patio cushions and received 12. Ordered a patio set and coffee table and received a whole extra coffee table.

Quality, as you said, isn’t great. IKEA can be a pain to get to (for me), but you know their stuff is designed well.
