Totally agree. I’ve been starting out my son with earning small amounts of money to buy stuff he wants. But I want to avoid putting him into a “worker” mindset where he just does tasks and gets paid. I want him to think bigger than that eventually
What are some creative ways to instill entrepreneurial spirit in young kids?
This is why hero worship never goes well. All people are flawed, no matter how incredible they appear.
This is equal parts hilarious, sad, and illuminating.

Living in black and white is a great way to ruin your life, agreed.
The dude is so strange and so sketchy. The amount he’s cuddled up to power is highly suspect.
I guess what I’m getting at is, I’m stuck in the fiat mines and I’m mad about it 🤣
I’m not sure how I misrepresented. At no point did I say you shouldn’t work hard or that you shouldn’t run a small business. I’m specifically talking about fiat jobs.
In fact, if you’re going to work super long hours, I personally think it only makes sense that it’s for a business of your own. I don’t think we’re far off from each other.
You said “You have to work to make money”. At what point did I say “never work”? Like I’m not a fucking child, I know how earning money works.
My entire point is that corps want to squeeze workers for every drop of productivity they can get and that it is a net negative for literally everyone. And the reason corps need to do this is because of fiat dynamics.
To be clear, I’m not a fucking commie. I believe in working hard and sometimes that means long hours.
I’ve had two recent experiences at tech startups where the company laid people off and either put more work on every single person or outsourced the work offshore.
The fiat endgame is trapping you in these jobs, working non stop, not being able to get ahead because the value you create is being stolen. If you work hard and create real value for others, you should be able to keep that value!
That’s why I bitcoin.
Bro… you’re being super disingenuous. I work hard and make excellent money. I just don’t want my entire life consumed by corporations
I’m not saying don’t work. I’m saying work shouldn’t be the dominate thing in your life
This right here. This is where the push for more H1B is suddenly coming from. Corporations want to push Americans to spend all their time at work and less with family.
This is why I am such a believer in sound money. We shouldn’t have to work our lives away at meaningless jobs. We need money that doesn’t steal from us so we can say no to this.

Well, I think it really depends. If you’re working 16 hours for a corp, in all likelihood you’ll just be on a treadmill not really progressing. Of course, you can blame the person for not doing it for themselves in some way, but my point is that corporations want to make this the norm. Fiat pretty much demands it, at some point.
I generally like Vivek but I’ve been highly, highly skeptical of Elon for years now.
That said, this whole H1B thing just smells like fiat corporate CEOs doing what they do - squeezing their employees for everything they can.
I have worked with people currently in India but also from India. Their work culture is COMPLETELY different. 16-18 hours a day, 6 days a week, employment contract with 90 day notice periods, etc.
I once worked on a team half in the US half India. My manager (from India but living in US) would scream at them and berate them every single morning, but was very kind to the US employees. We’re very lucky to be shielded from that abuse.
Corporate CEOs want to push employees to work this hard as much as they possibly can. They don’t like that American workers are “lazy” compared to international counterparts.

This is how I feel about most fiat jobs at the moment. The incentives aren’t to do the most but to appear busy and complete busywork that doesn’t move the needle on anything.
If you even try to call out inefficiency or try to do something actually productive, there’s a high likelihood you’ll be punished for doing so. A lot of times, the punishment is just a shit load of useless meetings to go over “concerns” of what you’re trying to accomplish.
