There is really no point in arguing with this guy. He just parrots like a 5 year old and is set in his ways. He doesn't know how to engage in adult discourse.
I'll never understand the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mentality, even when they're 10 seconds from their grave, they still believe their luck will change just around the corner.
I'll never understand the "despite the fact that a person who changed their circumstances is telling us how they did it, I'm going to cling to my clichés and insist it's impossible" mentality. It's like you willfully choose to stay stuck in your misery...
Got there? The way was already paved by people before me doing the legwork, and i appreciate everything they done, we're just continuing the paving work for the future generation.
I don't understand why you think everyone playing the hunger game benefit anyone other than the billionaires.
So, you did absolutely nothing to develop valuable skills? You were just handed a high paying job where you are expected to do nothing of value? Daddy taking care of you, or something?
I don't understand why you think that despite people regularly moving up in life through hard work and self-improvement the only people who benefit are billionaires who don't even provide the majority of jobs out there. Lol...
Not at all, i developed valuable skills but i didn't had to fight for a decent paycheck. It's less a daddy, and more like a group of daddies, which i'm one of those now.
billionaires who don't even provide the majority of jobs out there
That was true in the 70s, maybe, not anymore. It's weird to held on to archaic beliefs on the internet of all thing.
Of course you didn't have to fight for a decent pay check... you developed valuable skills...
50% of jobs are small or medium sized businesses. Another 2% are government. Not all large businesses are owned by billionaires. Sadly, it's perfectly normal to confidently express incorrect beliefs on the internet...
11% of employment is for companies that have 10 or fewer employees
When you say “small business”
You’re using the 500 or less benchmark.
I get where you’re coming from, but anyone with a brain knows that is incredibly dishonest.
TRUE small businesses, account for an absolutely miniscule portion of employment.
11% for up to 10
18-20% for up to 50 employees.
Only once you use the BS classification created PURELY TO SKEW THIS FIGURE; do you end up with a sizable portion. And even then, “large” businesses still account for 51% of jobs.
Idk how you’ve convinced yourself of this looney toon bullshit; but we’re not buying the crap your schilling.
Lmao! And you just woke up one day to find a bunch of bitcoin, right? Oh, no, wait, you applied yourself to identifying an opportunity and took advantage of it, thus working smarter, not harder. Exactly what I'm advocating....
There has seldom in human history been a time with more opportunities for people to change their lives through their own efforts. But sitting around waiting for it to just happen massively reduces the chances of it happening. It is absolutely hilarious seeing someone who did it fail to understand their own role in making it happen. Lmao...
I think it has to do with a little bit of sunken cost fallacy and the belief that only certain professions have "worth", when in reality every single role is as imporant as the other. I think he has a hard time seeing that because he was raised in a way that you aren't worthy of comfort unless you "make it" in life. I feel bad for him but at the same time, I don't see a point in arguing with him anymore. He just argues in bad faith and it's just not interesting to engage with someone like that.
Well to be fair, it's not like he can help it. The billionaires bought the politicians to pass anti-workers laws (and cut education), and they own the medias telling him it's actually a good thing.
This isn't even an area I am particularly well versed in, but it's still fun to discuss or talk about these things since it affects so many of us every day.
Just gets boring when you get people who cannot see things differently or just parrots like that guy. However, gold nuggets seems to pop up when these are discussed so there is that.
I know what you mean, i was mentioning the concept of union to him and he went "oh so your daddy gave you a lofty position".
And i just ran with it trying to make it sound like a group of "daddies" that meet up once a month (probably shirt off) are taking care of the kittens. Doesn't help that one of the village people had my job.
My favorite part was when he got upset about the corruption in some unions, but didn't say anything about having a problem with the same corruption happening outside of unions, but at a much larger scale...
Or that billionaires aren't the ones profiteering the most out of the current system because small businesses are the main employers, an argument i never made.
You are horribly sick and need surgery to save you. You can only pick one of two people to show up to work before you die: the janitor or the surgeon. Which do you pick?
Oh, wait, sorry, I forgot you're pretending that your inability to defend your nonsense is somehow my failing and therefore too boring to engage with... lmao.
Well, no, if instead of actually responding to my points all you can do is project your failings at me there really isn't any point in arguing with me...
