You can actually be ethical and own business, you get that right? Or do the rules go out the window when you're Amazon or Apple?

a business to survive must do anything to save a dollar. because everyone else is trying to syphon those dollars away from them. shoplifters, content pirates, abusiver workers, “the community...” and every ignorant asshole who thinks “they make too much” without ever having tried their hand at it. and then ther is the competition who is trying to do things better, cheaper, faster than you. it’s not a friendly, paternalistic environment. for every success there are a dozen failures.

demonyo was talking about “millionaires and billionaires” owning shares to the railroad.
“poorer” is a comparative adjective.
a middle class person is “poorer” than a millionaire but can afford to save and invest.
the self employed dont get pensions
the mandatory texas retirement savings whatever owns shares. stop trolling.

everything he’s done in business what????
i never scammed anyone and always paid my contractors and suppliers in full and on time. i had no debt (but maybe i should have). i’ve never been i the casino business. im not a celebrity pretending to be rich. i don’t even know what the fuck is the sense you’re trying to make.
i did shop for a good deal and sought to work with people i trusted. it’s very hard to find good trustworthy people. customers and employees are greedier than anyone. CORPORATIONS ALWAYS PAID ME IN FULL AND ON TIME. governments were the worst fucking customers. it is a slow and bureucratic process to sell and to get paid for them and my checks took forever. i ended up exhausted.
being an employee everything is handed to you on a plate. here’s your paycheck, every friday. your taxes are done for you, half of your payroll taxes are paid for you, you’re guaranteed a paycheck as long as you work. if you’re in busienss good luck collecting.
i admire a business that can provide a good service to the customer and make a profit. the profit is what allows them to continue providing that service.
walmart was open 24h when i needed an emergency supply in the middle of a project, or when i was on the road, and yes i was up at 2am trying to fix shit. apple has always been reliable, did not crash in the middle of the night, cost me money but freed up time. i am glad to buy from them. i was also glad to buy from my local expert because his advice was well worth the extra prices, we had a good relationship, he provided a good value.
a corporation is just a type of business structure. it can be owned by one person or a million. ignorant hippy talk leads to disaster.
