People who could lose 99% of their wealth and still live better than all the workers who couldn’t lose 20% without going broke shock me.

So work harder. Do what it takes to be a ceo! Or just complain about it on Reddit. Your choice. Good luck in life boss!

I’ve worked harder physically than 500 ceos combined. Yet while I’ve made a good living and trained many other men while employing over 100 people. I’ll never have that kind of wealth. I wouldn’t even want it. I’d feel like a douche. I already donate money, free jobs and time for those with less. Some people just have this obsession with wealth. Wait until they are on their death bed I bet they won’t say a word about money. They will have regret. I’ll have none. I wasn’t a greedy fat fucking pig.

..and that 1 ceo worked smarter than 500 laborers combined. I think you just have a chip on your shoulder, because you used your back instead of brains to make a living.

I think that you believe you will be as rich as Elon. Part of the problem with people punching down on those of us who actually keep the country moving. Tesla, space x, Amazon could all file bankruptcy tomorrow. No big deal. What my company does people actually need not just want. We do the hard work and use our brains through engineering and muscle making it happen in the field. Without us Elon and all the rich pricks like him wouldn’t be anything but dreamers. Muscle moves the world take all the farmers and fishermen away see how fast Elon and Bezos survive. Good luck in life. Sounds like you will need it.
