Roger that, and I counterpointed. No mal-intent intended.
As a leader in many communities and a witness who has been here a long time, I did knee jerk alittle to the countless thousands of times Ive heard this argument from folks who expected this to be an ATM machine and not the experience of opening the 1000000000th pizza restaurant in NYC, for example, where you have to bust your ass to sell a slice, and most will fail in a year or less, while some will go on to franchise for billions.
It's the real world here, and it works like that. With an anarcho-capitalist spin.
You have to play, to win, and you have to play hard.
But even the Bad News Bears got a movie and beat the champs.
😁 Well hats off to you for being willing to say "I did knee jerk a little". That's encouraging.
I didn't expect it to be an ATM machine here but I did expect the wealth to be more evenly distributed. I'm not making a judgement about that particularly but it was sort of the way it was sold to me. My experience so far is that it's no different here than it is in the world in general, which is probably your point.
It's not stopping me for working hard and giving it a go. I'm just having to adjust my view of what goes on here and that takes time and first hand experience.
:)
Here's to your journey to the top being scenic!
Thank you kind sir. I'll drink to that! 🍹
