Yeah, he had a bunch of really weird ideas especially about sex and masturbating.
Some of it was probably due to being in a low volume high profit market. We had close to a 10x cost to profit ratio, and the profit per unit was 10s of thousands. Although alot of that went into R&D and quality etc.
There are tons of ways to cut cost often. Another example is one time I bought a device to detect air/gas leaks. It was 1000 dollars. I walked through our production measured the leaks, fixed them(most were push on connectors so pull off, cut tip, reinsert, typically leak was done), took about an hour. Per the sensors software saved about 175k. Also prevented my company from having to buy a new compressor for about 750k as our current one was close to the limit of what it could support.
Fun fact corn flakes were initially released in the thought of them being so bland they would remove your desire to masturbate.
Basically like "I really want to cum but instead I'll just eat this bowl of cereal".

Ok, i maybe wrong but I think... Hear me out... I think he may be lying about his age. I don't think ~~moths~~ human males live to be 23 years old.
I used to be on the gross margin improvement team. Basically our job was to implement projects which reduced cost.
I don't think a single person's job was eliminated because of my work. I remember creating about 35 jobs. For example I had a project where I identified about $900k in potential savings per year. We had to spend $50k one time and hire an employee for about $60k per year but still saved about $900k.
Employees are cheap(even expensive ones). Simple things like hire an employee to check something at step 3 so you are not paying people to do steps 4-20 will easily pay for itself if that issue at step 3 happens enough. Like for example that's the whole point of unit testing software. Pay someone to write tests all day everyday even at an high salary, say $150k reduces costs of tech support, reduces cost of later testing, improves value of product, increases sales etc. If you want to be negative this is value stolen from the worker. But if an employee doesn't make you a profit, why are they a employee? Like if you pay $70k for an employee who causes $50k in revenue... Fire them and make yourself a 20k raise. Now if you pay someone $70k and they make you $700k that's immoral...
Do you want to bring them over to have a play date with my sweet virgins creeper?
Obviously no... It would be "metal slop"

I always thought about what it would be like to work at the unemployment office... Get fired... Next day you have to go back and be like "good morning Sheila, can I get a copy of form 2431-b please?"
