For those of you who missed yesterday’s WLBOTT board meeting, the board voted 27 ⅐ to 3 (with 19 abstentions) to enter the lucrative Corporate Nap Pod market.
Late Stage Capitalism Analysis
Our WLBOTT marketing team thought that naps were the one thing that couldn’t be monetized. Wrongo-Bongo!

Sleep deprivation costs the U.S. $411 billion[1] in annual economic losses, according to a Rand Corp. study, with the equivalent of about 1.23 million working days lost each year due to insufficient sleep.
Silence Business Solutions, a 3-year-old French company, rolled out La Boite a Reves (The Dream Box), a $19,000 wooden “recovery cocoon.” The windowless, soundproof pod features 12 light and sound atmospheres programmed to gently guide the user through a 15-minute power nap, controlled by a touch screen. It also includes a small but comfortable bed.

19 abstentions??? What’s wrong with these people? Or did you call the vote during nap time?
I think they may have been streaming “The Golden Bachelor” rather than attending to their WLBOTT duties.
