@paulg No matter the view, the hippies undeniably brought a lot of color and personality into the world. It definitely feels like the pendulum swung hard in the opposite direction.
People are not "winners" or "losers"...they're "choosers."
Every day you wake up, you get to make decisions that shape the course of your life.
Choose intentionally. Build yourself. Expand.
Become something & someone you are proud of.
@tommystocks1@PalmerLuckey@wholemars@AOC You’re right, it looks like he made around $60k or possibly a few million in today’s dollars. Still nowhere close to the massive value created or the billions he could’ve made. Just a good reminder that creating huge value is only part of the equation.
In all fairness, we also somehow have to personally capture part of the value we create. Nikola Tesla invented the brushless ac motor and died poor. I fully agree we deserve a portion of the value. It’s our incentive to make the nearly impossible happen. Making things people want isn’t always enough though. The system is set so crazy difficult that you have to add enormous value to society and also find a way to capture some of it to earn a place in the billionaire club. Nevertheless I’m glad that you did.
@BernieSanders Good for him. What do leaders of the world’s top value creating companies make? The US is the largest economy on earth. IMO any President should make big money for taking on the job.
