    The real joke is the ceo admitting fault. You can always blame “the market”, “inflation” and “lackluster employee performance”!

    I love being told that “we” need to tighten our belts by an executive that gets millions upon millions in total compensation.

      Our CIO who recently retired was often famous for justifying low/no raises or bonuses by saying “Well, money isn’t everything” and yet still buying an airplane to casually fly

                Jeremy Clarkson bought an English Electric Lightning airframe for basically scrap value, and put it in his front yard at one point.

                It wasn’t even that expensive.

          Minimum 20k for an 40 year old Cessna 150 with not many miles left in the engine before mandatory overhaul (roughly every 10,000 hours of use, though it depends on the engine), last I checked.

          Then those things require regular mechanical check-ups, and by regular I mean every 50 hours of flight, then a more thorough one every 100 hours of flight and so on.

          It’s only a “cheap” hobby if you’re doing it as an amateur pilot who can also do the mechanical stuff and only flies in a country where regulations are de facto optional to follow.

          Otherwise it’s at best a hobby for doctors, finance traders and high paid lawyers, not Common Joe.

            Overhaul period for a Lycoming piston engine is typically 1800-2200 hours. You’d be lucky if the engine even made it to 10k.

    I’ve only seen four or five of these comics and each one of them is funnier than anything Scott Adams ever put out.
