Anyone with even a hint of work ethic could make 34k a year with room for growth starting with zero skills, zero experience, felony priors, and a failed drug test.

Or its a skill free job Put the stuff in the box. Tape up the box. Like i said, you can have down syndrome and do this job. So if you're a temp and day one hour one you're too good for the job you're probably a sunra

You said you’re paying people $9 an hour. So you’re hiring people without “a hint of work ethic”. That sounds pretty stupid.

Yikes! I was gonna give you the benefit of the doubt cause I've gotten jobs through temp agencies and there are a lot of lazy people that come in. But I'm not really so sure about your leadership skills or your general character now.

Yeah $9.00 an hour isn't gonna inspire a good work ethic. I can get a job literally putting shit in boxes and make $11-$13.

Not too bad, but an associates can start a person at 18-22 I think. Good for you running a biz, I don't think I'd want to do that, I'd buy a small neighborhood bar if I did, maybe a med supply company with my current knowledge of the med profession. I read that each degree adds 10 grand a year or more to a salary somewhere. It seems like a person can only get so far without a degree of some kind, training/license of some kind.

For real I didn't know that MF paid no taxes. That's crazy! We just need to tax the fuck out of the rich and all our problems would be solved lol.

34k a year....after taxes, that’s not even enough to cover my rent+bills. I live in a shitty 1br, which is so small it was originally listed as a studio. And I don’t even own a car. I had no idea someone considers 34k/year a livable wage...
I guess the disconnect between the rich and poor is real. A Tale of Two Cities...

I don’t disparage the disabled or work at a place where that’s acceptable. To say that “a person with down syndrome” could do it shows beyond a doubt what an absolute shit culture you have at your place of business. You should be reported for violating the people’s with disabilities act and shut down. Hiring people with disabilities and then shit talking them online shows incredibly poor character and lack of leadership. Seriously.
And btw I take no offense of being compared to the disabled (“you’re probably a sunra”- trying to make a joke by using my name as substitute for a person with down syndrome) because I value the worth of every person equally. That’s why after your shit culture business fails I think even you should be given a job with a living wage.

Sorry, not sorry.
I was hoping it would blow up, not in a negative way... but to open up a convo about personal responsibility, the pie being infinitely expandable, and how the richest man in the world is not holding anyone down except maybe in their own minds. If I can sneak in how a 1%'er paying 1% taxes is still probably thousands of times more than what a 99%'er paying their taxes contributes.. that would be also a good point for perspectives sake.
Thanks for the hot topic!

It is fiction, yes.
But she illustrates the issue with people thinking their pay should meet their needs, as opposed to the pay actually being compensation for a specific amount of labor that is tied into how much materials and overhead and blah blah... as opposed to it being a real number based on other real numbers related to the work.
And why that cannot work.
I believe she is drawing parallels to communist Russia and the drain of highly skilled and highly educated people from communist countries because when you remove the incentive to be a Jeff Bezos... the Jeffs and Bills and Warrens will literally pack up and move to where they have the least restrictions- taking their dough, their skills, and ideas with them. Why? Because it is the smart move and smart people make smart moves.
But it isn't just the Jeffs, Bills, and Warrens that leave. It'll also be anyone else that can afford to leave that will do better elsewhere. So you're left with second or third string smart people to work on the complex problems.
In the story they took it to an extreme version of the drain... but even if Rand is not a particularly logical philosopher, there are lessons in her stories that hold true.
Why not try to be more like these successful people, omitting what you don't agree with, as opposed to calling for the stealing and handing out of hard earned fortunes?

Many of the people complaining about rich people being rich have no real wealth and are incapable of creating it because they erroneously believe it is all the wealth hoarded in wealthy people's pockets which prevents them from living the good life by not leaving enough for the rest of us.
Which is not only a limiting-belief and not how the world actually works, but also furthers their inability to create wealth for themselves.
It is fabricated oppression, me thinks.
Someone said something earlier about not being able to start an e-commerce business because of Amazon.
Fabricated oppression again.
At some point there's going to be a Nile or a Mississippi or some shit that smokes Amazon. It could be that person that said Amazon is keeping them from success... if they actually made a real run at it. A wall of tissue paper is holding you back.
I saw part of a something or other online where Jeff Bezos has acknowledged that Amazon will most likely go bankrupt one day. In the long run, the survival rate drops to zero for most everything says FightClub. And Jeff knows it. Sitting on top of the top, he already knows it is coming.
Also can't expect success to be handed to you. If the market won't allow your business to exist, it is a bad business plan. Try again.

Where do you live new york?
Anywhere in the Midwest you can live on as low as 25k a year after taxes. Like 12/hr. You can have your own apartment as long as its under 600/mo And own a used car And have a going out life. Edit: and buy weed.
I know because I did just this in my early 20s no problem
