Best-Of Advice

On basic fucking economics

It’s easier to make a lot of money than to make “just enough” money. EVERYONE’s trying to make just enough money. There are so few actively trying to make a lot of money that they tend to help one another more. If you make a lot of money and don’t want it, you can always give it to worthy causes or people. But why let your state of mind be determined by a boss who decided they want to make a lot of money from your work? Go make it yourself.


Okay, fuckface. Lemme break down your stupidity line by line:

It’s easier to make a lot of money than to make “just enough” money.
No it’s not. It’s damn hard to make “just enough” money, and it’s downright impossible to make a lot of money without access to privilege, influence, and a fuck-ton of capital.


EVERYONE’s trying to make just enough money.

No shit, Sherlock. Life’s a fucking grind. Don’t act all superior, like you know some special trick that all the poor working stiffs haven’t figured out yet. Social mobility is a fucking myth, and you sound like an airhead talking about money like this.

There are so few actively trying to make a lot of money that they tend to help one another more.
Oh, you mean members of the elite class serve their own self interest through nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism? Yeah, I like how you tried to make unfair advantage sound like a good thing.

If you make a lot of money and don’t want it, you can always give it to worthy causes or people.
You sound like a fucking child. Do you even understanding how corporate capitalism works? Obscene wealth hoards itself at centers of power, relentlessly flowing back into its own gaping maw as value is leeched from helpless pools of human and natural resources. There are no worthy causes or people, just public relations and consumers.

But why let your state of mind be determined by a boss who decided they want to make a lot of money from your work?
Ugh. Social stratification is more than just a state of mind, you privileged little shit. The real world is a harsh and unforgiving place. I sincerely hope you discover that when you’re shat out the other end of whatever cut-rate business school is stealing your parents’ money.

Go make it yourself.
Go fuck yourself.

    Somehow I feel better about my lack of financial success or for that matter professional outcomes. Do you think luck might have anything to do with gaining privilege if you aren’t so to begin with?

      Dumb, blind luck. People like to say it’s hard work, and sure, that helps, but when it comes to social mobility, it’s about being in the right place at the right time, and that’s almost always a product of luck.
