Tim Buist

Most jobs are bad, including the ones with an MBA attached, and Tim Buist says so where other people only think it. He gets there from a weekend visiting his mother in law rather than from a manifesto, which is what makes it land.

His defence of network marketing against its critics uses an argument worth engaging with. Almost nobody could step outside today and run ten miles, and that tells you something about the runners rather than about running, and he applies the same reasoning to people who fail at a business and then blame the model.

The beer writing is a genuine pleasure and completely unrelated. An imperial IPA gets described hop by hop with real attention, and he would clearly write about beer whether or not anybody read it.

He also argues that lower division college football is the best value ticket available, and he reports on speakers from events he attended.

Take the jobs post if you have been telling yourself yours is fine, then read the beer review as a reward.
