The founding fathers were less terrible than those who came before them, hence the system they created. Our task is to do better than those who came before us as well, not apply our morality to the past

This is very basic stuff. Yours is an exercise in futility. Have fun with that, I’ll be chilling on Mars with the hot Canadian women

To be fair I have heard that for over 10 years. But I hope he's right!

In America soon the death rate will be greater than the birth rate. Empty houses will become more and more common.

I remember my first job as a baker.
I would come in, focus an dedicate my craft to making the most exquisite cakes, cupcakes, macarons, ice cream and so forth.

I would take 100$ worth of products and turn it into a few grand worth of baked goods.
I mean, they sold six macarons for 15$, I would make 500-800 a day.

And then, I would realize that I had been paid 90$ for that (eh, I was much younger and minimum wage was different) and I realized then that the real moochers aren't who you think it is.

That the American description of socialism where you work hard and people who didn't work at all come and take your hard work's benefits applied mostly to capitalism and my boss.

I realized that I could make the company 3-4k a day, only for them to pay me 90$ a day.

And I started being a leftist ever since.

I make the economy go round, you make the economy go round and anyone just investing money in the stock market to get richer is a sycophant of our hard work.

I mean be my guest, hate me but this is logical.
The real moochers are the rich.

And the worst are the landlords who think it's a job.
Owning a house you wait rent for to pay mortgage with is not a fucking job.
Your tenant are doing you a solid.

Because the electricity, workman's comp, ADA compliancy, lease, water, equipment, bookkeeping, advertising, packaging, unemployment insurance, payroll tax, and liability insurance for sue-happy people has no cost.

And....most restaurants fail, my dude. Open up your own bakery; most of them are owner operated. You already have all the experience to succeed, get to it hoss. And once you do get it up and running, do it at material-cost only. After all, it's a charity. Don't pay yourself. That would be morally evil.

Hey man if you can't afford to pay electricity, workman's comp, ADA compliancy, lease, water, equipment, bookkeeping, advertising, packaging, unemployment insurance, payroll tax, and liability insurance, you don't deserve to have a business.
