This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan and Sam return to the normal format. No predictions, just yammering about stuff. On the serious side we have Zuck's changes at Meta, the fires in LA, and, of course, Trump. On the lighter side we have discussions of taking time off, returning to the office, and the importance on not pinching pennies on your chair. So there ya go!

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan are joined by Monica, an actual Presidential Elector for Harris this year, who talks about that experience. In between the usual curmudgeonly tangents of course. Then she sticks around and all three of them discuss everything from the government shutdown brinkmanship, to the wonders of food delivery. Enjoy!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan and Sam start out with some personal stress points and some random tech discussion before settling down to a bit more shaking out from the CEO killing and the issues surrounding that. Very little about New Jersey drones and Syria. Sorry!
