Dude tried to turn a bunch of murderers, psychopaths and guys who've most likely never finished middle school into businessmen in the drug trade, where it's known to be nothing but a lifestyle of backstabbing, killing, lying , stealing and so on. Not a great plan. 😂

Like a number of famous criminals through history, if Stringer had applied his enthusiasm for learning and economics to legitimate business, he probably could have become a pretty successful businessman. Similar to Frank Costello in real life, had he applied himself and tried to be legitimate he could have become a pretty good politician or diplomat.

Ive read the comments and i hear yall, but stringer still trying to better himself and sometimes other. He paying for that class, he made an investment in himself... Hell, when i learned addition, first tihing i did was come home and tell my parents what 2+2 was and my lil bro also, its only natural to be excited about learning. I dont think he was being uppety about it, i think he really wanted them to learn a lil bit cause most of them arent going to sit in a class but theyll listen to him. He couldve just changed the name and the caps without saying shit, but he wanted them to understand, didnt want them to stay entirely ignorant. His only fault was making boss moves when he wasnt no boss, but even a boss knows not to move against "Brother". Him hitting dee girl was wrong but as they say "all is fair is ho's & tricks". Going against Avon was real low considering how hurt Avon was when he got merc'd, you can tell they were like brothers, but to be fair, everybody was playing everybody

Yup. Stringer getting the -A was symbolic of that. He was at most times the smartest guy in the room, but he had one or two flaws that kept him succeeding. For one thinking he was above his own guys because he was more talented so he felt he was doing them a favor by educating them, but not being wise enough to understand that some of his guys were lost causes that were holding him back. He was smart enough to know that he could teach people to do the work he needed, but not wise enough to know that his own guys would only do what he says out of fear/loyalty not any desire to get smarter.

As generally unlikable as stringer is/can be with his know it all attitude, I have to admit his character is written extremely well. His motives couldn’t be more obvious as he practically wears them on his sleeve and he does at least try to approach things the entire game differently than most other guys who just use pure violence.

I love how the show Sopranos and this show taught people that criminals do seek help and they do advance themselves whether emotionally or otherwise. Tony used therapy to justify his behavior and actions, and here Striker is getting an education so he can be a better criminal. Both characters use traditional ways normal people better themselves so that they can become better and smarter criminals in their perspective worlds. They don’t go to therapy to stop committing crime, they don’t go to school to stop being in a gang, they do so to get even better

They do make money from it but the profits go towards financing the drugs they buy wholesale from overseas before it has been cut. Then cut the drugs and sell it for a much larger profit. Having a front makes it hard to tie the money to drugs.

I’ll give you an example, if you fund money into a record label and some music artists but you don’t recoup any sales ie the artist flops you’ll be at a loss. For some businesses it’s easy to waste money than it is to make money substantially and to keep you off the laws radar too
@followingtheroe1952 5 ай бұрын
@@mrbossman6811 Ah I see, that makes sense. So either the business is funding another enterprise (like drugs) and is supplemental. Or its something designed operate with intermittent gains (like how studios only need a single hit to justify multiple flops). So the fact a business is losing money on the books is a feature

Stringer Bell 🛎️ is my worst fear 😂. His character is entirely made up from “Wasted Potential”. If he played the business man as a businessman and played the game as the game he would’ve eventually made it out on top: he took down Avon and that’s when the Games Karma turned on him. but a snake 🐍 is never a wasted potential 😂

People shit on Stringer for being inexperienced with business and thinking he's smarter than he is but he was doing a lot. He was running the drug trade across a large part of the city, he was running "legitimate" businesses to launder the drug money, he was trying to bribe politicians and start a real estate company, and he was going to college in his free time. He was a very smart person, he was just trying to do way too much and he slipped up and missed some important details.
@dre3k78 5 ай бұрын
His main problem was trying to use what he learned about operating a in a legal business market with regulations/rules and trying to apply it in an illegal business environment with basically no rules. Some things may apply to both worlds(like changing the name of their inferior product) but in the end on the street you have to deal with people like Marlo and Omar who have no equal in a legal business environment.

The fact that Stringer was elite for taking community college classes, and elite even to the police hunting him, points out how desperate the conditions in Baltimore really are, and how deep the inequality really is. The real sharks with the real credentials are playing a whole different game. We see a glimpse of it with Carcetti, Levy, the Greek, and the businessmen.
