A different take on this.
Somehow, the world changed so that we all feel entitled to our jobs and yes, businesses.
In any human endeavor in 2022, we have to assume that nothing is going to last forever.
The employee is not entitled to their job.
Because we are all human we cannot assume we are going to be treated fairly as much as we would love to be.
The entrepreneur is not entitled to their business - one mistake and it could go away.
We are going to be bullied at some point and the way how we deal with it will change the trajectory of our thoughts and lives.
Yes this sounds terribly dystopian. It sounds bad.
But it is how the world operates and has always operated.
What’s the difference now? The internet has merely amplified these practices so we can see them better.
Some things have improved and changed for the better.
Other things have gotten worse.
Go ahead and read “Foundation”. Isaac Asimov clearly set things out that the way how large groups of humans operate makes it hard to change certain things.
Employment and business creation in a capitalist society is definitely one of those things that is that 10 million ton oil tanker going at 500 knots on the open waters.
We are not going to be able to shift it. But because we know it’s size and trajectory we can safely know when to take out our paddle boat for fishing and actually have a good life.
