Azzar, that's how it's been since the country's inception. The Civil War wasn't fought for slavery, how to temper the cost of labor in the emerging industrial revolution, slavery is free (holy shit yes to the business mind), but to the down the road mind it makes sense to not have it for social well being (wage labor that morphed into hourly and the cluster fuck that is wages stagnating while production has massively increased). The middle class is the new slavery, wage slave, because we have bills, but we can also say fuck off to our bosses, fuck something up, and then sue the shit out of them. America, have your cake and eat it too (just helps if you're actually wealthy).

Like I know a guy who kills it in online retail for Amazon.
He doesn't own or produce anything. He is just a re-seller of goods, has great items he selected to market and sell. He does not share what those items are, his marketing strategy, or even the name of his store with anyone. He does not want competition.
I've never asked him for help or information on it, because he is just an acquaintance. He owes me fuckall. He does not owe me the creation of competition against his own business.
What a bunch of fucking shameless losers there are in 2017. Try befriending or offering someone ANYTHING of value before you go demanding they write their success playbook for you.
I'll never stop wishing I knew the intricate details of his retail business. But I will never ask because I adhere to social norms and have a sense of decency. I'd never cross that line.
