He sounds like a pretty smart guy who is probably really good with his money.
I have a fraction of what my parents did, but I have a house on the beach, a cabin in the mountains, 3 rentals in Vegas, 3 cars, 2 moorage slips, 2 boats (19' and 32' foot).yea exactly, corporations are totally hierarchical, an economic tyranny.
this website and UPS is a prime example of the stories you hear about how worker are treated poorly. this is what happens when you allow your economy to be run by a small minority of bosses and executives instead of having popular rule by the workers.
workers would be less likely to vote to treat themselves badly.
but whether or not the victims on this website realize capitalism is the problem is another question. alot of people i talk to get it, they realize they are essentially making some capitalist rich and the economy is not that good.

I get income from all 5 properties, and the 2 moorage slips. What am I missing?
you ever notice how were always being told how wonderful rich people are? its propaganda.Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.

you know with all my talk about worker cooperatives, since you guys are so open minded to new ideas i thought you would have been all over it and experts on the difference between coops and capitalism.
that explains a lot . spoiled rich kid who has had everything handed to him. Now out of touch with reality , unable to grasp the concept of hard work achieves success even though his parents gave him a great example. now rejecting their teachings and bad mouthing the lifestyle they provided him. typical.way to go. my parents are similarly wealthy mostly because of a massive housing bubble, but im not really impressed with that. i dont think i will be able to manage / rent properties like my dad, but i dont want to do that anyways. ill take yodas cave over vaders technological terror any day.
but thats only one kind of wealth. another kind would be how do you make the world a better place in terms of justice / how to you treat other people and animals?
