Some fails are just paving the way for future success. Not these ones, though.  This week in daily fails: This home office furniture company says that, unless you buy their stuff, remote workers are gonna be SUPER ugly in a few decades  A 22-year-old “self made”  millionaire with rich parents says his generation is lazy Queen Camilla wore Dior, which is obviously a diss against Meghan Markle, but...
