Influence
Every December for the past few I’ve been seeing a lot of least influential people of whatever year it is lists. These sorts of countdowns to the bottom crack me up because it’s always filled with people I’ve heard of and who numerous folks actually care about.
I want to see a list filled with non-celebrities. I want, “#7 Earl from the Mobile gas station in Beulah, North Dakota.* Earl is pretty unfriendly, and doesn’t say ‘Thanks for stopping in’ when he gives you back your change—IF he gives you back your change.”
*Earl probably doesn’t exist.
