- sph 2mo agoDepends if you’re 17 with rich parents or not.
- repeekad 2mo agoThis only changes whether you are naive enough to believe “honest” business means anything in today’s age. If anything, I worry being honest is holding back smart people who try to compete in a rigged game.
- embedding-shape 2mo ago> you are naive enough to believe “honest” business means anything in today’s age Might be that these people are from outside the US as well, where things like "honest business" is very much possible today, probably most businesses I interact with AFK on a daily business are "honest businesses".
- sph 2mo agoThere's two ways to read my comment. I believe you read it along the lines of "you need to be rich to start a business". What I meant was that if you're rich you don't need any trade school or to run a business, you can just sit on your ass living off interest from capital. Only "poor" people need to work for a living.
- sscaryterry 2mo agoHonesty is a big problem today. I'd rather live with myself, knowing I didn't screw anyone...
