  • If you want to talk economics, this isn't the rich guy's problem. This is the problem that the government is so huge and that it's printing money so much that it's causing inflation to fill the pockets of big corporations. The ethos in lemmy, apparently, is communism due to ignorance, more than understanding economics and trying to implement self-responsibility to fix these problems.

    Like I told another guy here: You either shrink the government to get a deflationary economy and make your money better, or you expect your government to solve all your problems and face inflation. You can't have it both ways.

  • Would you like a copy of my passport too? Nice try.

    And just in good faith I'll tell you again: The internet is flooded with stats on startups. You don't need to dox me here to get that information.

  • Again, if you're a failure in college, maybe college isn't for you. However, unfortunately, college has become a placeholder for anyone who spent their teens with video games instead of planning their future. Everything you know about life is fucked up to the point where you think that it's a rule of thumb that going to college must mean making more money. No, boy. Again, good plumbers make more than mediocre college graduates. Make a plan and stop following what your failed society has planned for you.

  • Because you don't know the personal examples I know. You can look up statistics of small businesses and startups and learn how to get funding. I think the average exit from a successful startup is in the 10s of millions USD after 5 years of work. It needs hard work, and it's not easy, because no one is gonna invest in your project unless you're dedicated. BUT, it's totally possible and I've seen it tons of times. I've seen idiots get more than $15 million funding. Some fail, some succeed. In fact the majority fail, but while they're failing they learn, and VCs have interest in investing because their expected returns based on statistics are higher than their investment on average.

    There's so much work to be done before calling it quits, especially for someone who doesn't know what a VC is and how it works.

  • All my friends, including myself, make shit loads of money because we do things that are rare in the economy, and our skills are rare. So don't bother being valuable with skills, I guess you better keep serving coffee in Starbucks and wonder why you get paid so little. You are ignorant and hopeless as hell.

    And just FYI, I grew up in the gutter and learned alone. Go read a f-ing book instead of complaining on social media.

  • This is pure bullshit.

    1. He wasn't given that on day one. He built the first idea then investors came in.
    2. He had an idea that works, then convinced investors to pay him. You can do that too. Literally anyone can. Go learn how VCs work.

    You have no idea you're talking about. The only thing you know is failure.

  • So what, just because there are investors they didn't start in a garage? Anyone with a good idea and a plan can get funding from VCs after booting up the idea.

    What's wrong with you people? Seriously.

    What are you trying to prove exactly? That no one can start a company? Everyone can it costs pennies. No one can get funding with a good idea and hard work? Anyone can and everyone does and I've seen this with my own eyes (recently I saw two brothers get 8 million USD funding for a freaking dumb NFT project). That no one can succeed except with connections? Not true, and examples are everywhere, including big tech today. What's the mission here exactly? Because the mission I see here is encouraging people to not even try and just be lazy because "there's no point".

    What am I trying to prove? I'm trying to prove that anyone working hard has a chance, but sitting your ass and being lazy will give you no chance.

  • If you know anything about today's economy you'll see how to get money from VCs, thanks to all the money printing and inflation. But you're so ignorant you can't recognize that. Go read a book on VC funding, but I guess you're too busy complaining on social media.

    And no, I'm not backpedaling. You're either poor or too young with rich parents you don't understand basic reality and think you're helping with your stupid, uneducated ideas.

  • How? By coercing them to give up their success? Hell no. I'm not gonna be part of this! If someone gives up something voluntarily, that's cool. Otherwise I'm against it.

  • Yes, of course. Everything is a straw man. Prove me wrong and stop saying... oh sorry, "hinting" that there's no point in trying. More importantly, stop making that impression to people. We need more people to build new things and work hard. Not more losers in Starbucks serving coffee.

  • You don’t have any influence on luck. So yes, nobody can do that, that’s something you may or may not get.

    So basically you don't want to take the chance because there's a chance you'll fail. This is hilarious! No question you're a failure.

    Here's a life pro tip: If you don't try, your success chance is 0%. If you do try, its larger than 0%. Simple math.

    You guys are really a broken generation! Social media broke you.

  • I know plumbers who make $250k/year. They didn't go to college.

  • And who decides whether it's positive... you? You, Mr. Loser on lemmy who wants to quantify value, not based on people's valuation for it, who freaking paid for it, but based on whatever standard gives you free money so that you don't feel like such a loser serving coffee in Starbucks? Get out of here!

  • Yes there may be the occasional anecdotes, like Jeff Bezos who weren’t born rich, but for them it requires both insanely hard work and luck.

    Wait... being rich requires hard work and luck? Too bad. No one can do that. So go to bed and keep begging for money.

    Anecdotes are not a statistic that proves anything.

    And what does? Your own interpretation of your own anecdotes that no one succeeded around you?

    And the statistics clearly say that if you are rich, chances are overwhelming that you were born into it.

    Having a better chance doesn't mean others don't have a chance. Do you even understand statistics?

  • Effort doesn't mean shit. I can go to the street, pick a rock, and put back down, and redo that 100 times. That's huge effort, but it isn't worth shit. Value isn't measured like this. People who only know how to do one thing anyone can do and don't want to improve are lazy. No other label is appropriate. Make something needed that only a handful can do and you'll be rich.

    And btw, learning in a college doesn't qualify as working hard, and more importantly, learning in college isn't a requirement for success. Your whole worldview needs shaking... I feel bad for this generation!
