    Compassionate with your money, ending up in their pocket

    If it's so easy, why don't these 9 to 5 slugs do it themselves?

    They want none of the work, worry, liability, time input, financial investment or risk.
    They just want rewards for never doing anything in life other than getting their ass out of bed to put in their 9 to 5, take all their breaks and do the minimum amount of work while present.

    And the limits of their 'compassion' are the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. The Third World (where people ACTUALLY have it tough) doesn't exist.

    They've never helped a single person with their own time, labor and resources.

    Agreed. This is a problem.

    Bullshit.

    This is nothing more than envy speaking.

    The decisions the bosses make, in many cases determine if the company stays profitable. Most of the sales and contracts are not coming from production, they are coming from management and the wealthy owners.

    Are you one if those that think that the employees should have some right to the profits?

    You said it so much better than I did.

    Im one of those evil rich people falcon talks about.

    I guarantee a risk more, work more hours, and make the important decisions that determine if my employees get to keep they job.

    Oh, and I'm the only person in the place that can do every single job. Including production. Know why? Because I established every position before the was an employee sitting in the chair executing what I built.

    Now you owe them for being such a greedy bastard.

    Question: what are the chances you'd have done any of this without the opportunity to make big profits?

    He can't run their finances for them, but incomes are up and people are working.

    It would seem beneficial for an employee to not work for these wicked people. They should just sell their labor directly and reap all the profit themselves.

    The jobs that have been created are good paying jobs and there is a glut of them.

    People were lazy with their car payments = Trump's fault

    That's some amazing logic you got there. Can you write a book please?

    We both know I wouldn't.

    I had a job right at six figures, that I quit in order to risk my savings to start my own company. To do things better than my former employer, to do things in the clients interest first. Of course, I also liked the idea of not being locked to a wage that my employer established and chase the sky-is-the-limit potential earnings.

    Most of these people that dislike people like me have absolutely no idea what it takes. They don't have a clue. They are driven by ignorance and envy.

    I am very open with my employees about the performance of our company. They know full well that one department still has jobs because I am loaning the company money personally almost exclusively to pay their wages. We are in a transition/growth phase, so these things happen, but it changes things a bit when people realize that I am taking money out of my personal savings to pay their wages.

    Oh well... you can't make people understand these things.

    Yes!

    They should quit and be their own boss.

    That would make sense. Then they couldn't complain that somebody is stealing their value.

    Person responsibility.
    You really don't know much about living on your own, do you?

    True for 99.9% of them.

    Not even a tiny little bit like the quiet Jesuits (who don't evangelise) who devote their lives to the welfare of others, without the wider world ever knowing about it. But of course, Jesuits aren't down with the cool kids, so they're obviously selfish Nazis.

    Because they're 'delinquents', obviously. That's a character flaw, not economics.

    Nonsense. A subsistence farmer living in an isolated village in the High Himalayas, without access to education period (or the internet), knows he can't eat all of his crop at once, or there'll be nothing left for winter.

    Same. And we did not get where we are (having started with nothing) by indulging whims and taking it easy. It's been decades of iron self-discipline and tight-arsery.

    Ditto.
    Started with nothing.
    These leeches couldn't tolerate one week of what I endured for nearly 15 years to get where I am, and certainly would not have taken the risk.

    Exactly. While we didn't do it via business, our trajectory out of humble beginnings was entirely down to discipline and determination. We spent considerably less than we made, and worked long hours. 20 years of that will make anyone rich.
