Everyday is a battle

[eats packages]

I'll leave for the arguing couple an interesting fact about my work.
It takes the direct labor of loading approximately 4,500,000 pieces into package cars, or 260,000 deliveries, in order to purchase a 1,500 sq ft home out in my neck of the woods.
Equivelant labor is not a garuntee in our market system... When materials, currency, technology, even a concept like "blockchain" can escew labor value.

youre the one now deflecting.

you said people who work hard are rewarded, and i told you 50% of america is now poor, so youre saying they dont work hard? your theory doesnt hold true.

people can work hard and get little in return.

Yes because they have to be smart or have a skill also. Hard work alone does not equal success.

some people arent smart or skillful or even work hard and are "successful". george w bush is a prime example of what im talking about.

i think its called the silver spoon.

Someone somewhere along the line worked to put that silver spoon in his mouth.

No one ever has any idea what you’re talking about.

 

[cosmo1]

even vanextan says half of america is poor.

Well, if he says it I guess this discussion is over

SMGDH!!

Yep. Pretty much the financial expert on BC.

yea i think BC members who debate economics with me suffer from cognitive disonance.

"In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values."

Remember, rickyb is a sad little boy who lives at home with his parents, and aspires to live in a car on the street.

Parents, who by his admission, are fairly well off with all their real estate investments.

He’s just waiting for them to pass that silver spoon down to him?

 

[IESucks]

just going through the motions. I’m literally on the brink of screaming. Peak is almost over though, everything will be OK.

And how many peaks will this be for you?

Same as George Bush

 

[Streeter D]

This is my first peak and it is awful. I've had enough of the whole "meeting for air midafternoon" leading to basically rerunning my completed stops again.. But I also am not a p**** and will see many more peaks. Hopefully. Tips are welcomed!

Some silver spoons can be turned into golden knives. Ask Donald Trump.

Tip? Go to college

But at the same time hard work alone doesn’t guarantee success.

I know some guys that work really really hard that have no real skills and aren’t very smart. They get by ok but they’ll never be rich.
