yard salad posted:agreed, owning a prius is pretty bad i just can't get over the totally earnest "my wife is intellectually inferior to me because she doesn't remember useless spergy details of things that even I admit no one ever encounters" that or "I consider forcing her into an uncomfortable situation at an unexpected time to be good pedagogy" or "let me emphasize several times how calm I was in my logical explanation, while characterizing her tone as "screaming"" i feel really sorry for the woman

Woz was dragged kicking and screaming into apple. he enjoyed making telephone systems that told jokes when you called them. then, he left Apple cause it got too big and corporate. fast forward and now he's a literal corporate shill for whoever will pay him.

Necc0 posted:wouldn't it be better to make those figgies while maintaining your current lifestyle & donating the rest? this is what just about every young entrepreneur i meet says. it's also what the upper class says to justify their own greed. they donate to the upper east side ballet hall, so why should they have to pay more taxes? bill gates for example, he donates a lot of money but he also opposes raising the minimum wage. you could say i've already sold out, but i'm trying to un-sell-out. i actually used to help run a massive tax scam. it was a "charity" that gave wealthy people tax exemption based on "donations" but then funnelled the money back to them through off-shore companies. seeing the poo poo the wealthy did and the way they justified it was pretty crazy. doing something wrong is easy, just come up with some cliche to justify it and then go for it. i do it all the time when deciding to have another beer or slice of pizza. the rich and powerful are seldom wiser and more responsible and are just capable of doing more damage than the average person. i'm kind of afraid of what i'd do if i were wealthy. i also just don't want to get out of touch. but even if i keep my nose clean, i'd still be part of something I don't like. if it's a tech startup situation, i'll be surrounded by and enriching VCs, who are the most Ayn Randian fuckboys in the world. thanks for reading.

theflyingexecutive posted:a p dece six and a half figgies puts you in the top 1% of people in their twenties, 400k gets you in the door with the big boys maybe i'm talking out my butt, but i think there's a difference between wealth and salary. like some people in the top 1% wealth-wise might have zero salary. and making six figgies shouldn't be the 1%. it should be the middle class, the average. it's not an astronomical amount of money or anything. the astronomical amount is held by the 0.1%. even bernie sanders is the in top 1-2% in terms of income. well, his household anyway.
