“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. A good tip that works anywhere from the streets to high finance.

The best people in society arent the rich and famous do nothings, but the ones that get real work done. Time the workers rise up against exploitation by the tyrants.

[@derekwhittom1639]

If the workers had any ability to organize and get anything done, they already would have.

[@lucasasselmeier7825]

@@derekwhittom1639 nice way of putting it. 99% of people consumed the majority of goods, and work as employees as they can’t find another way to give value. Those who find success have worked a much harder and risky journey to create an above average life

There are few people in society who get more real work done than these two.
