The only realistic ways to make it now are crypto/stocks, youtube/streaming and onlyfans, and of these only investing benefits from competition (everyone getting into the market). Everything else is a harder gamble with far more work involved so you get way fewer lottery tickets to make it. In fact you are better off working at mcdonalds and putting all your extra money into crypto/stocks and you will have a way better chance of becoming a millionaire than anyone who starts any kind of business or "hustle" today.

Once you remove specialist medical workers and WFH swe's who work 2 different swe jobs at the same time... and those normie couples where both the man and woman are work 2-3 jobs... then yeah...

You aint making with 1 normal job

Under Communism in the Eastern Bloc (Czech, etc) the main thing that demoralized people was that it turned the women into whores (onlyfans) and the men into scammers (crypto/gambling/streaming).

What you need to understand is that your world is the one behind the iron curtain now. If you wish to live otherwise it's best to leave. The borders remain open - take advantage.

overpaid SWE are the Communist Party favorites, getting plush jobs and greater benefits than others. They are approved/annointed by the State. When you understand the economic model of 20th century Communist states everything happening in the US/EU right now makes perfect sense.

>software companies are communism because.... they just are, okay!!!!

>>60571758
Sounds schizophrenic but I believe it. There is 20x more swe than ee in America, yet they make double on average. So either the software demand is 40x the electrical demand or we live in a clownmunist society

They're state-approved enterprises. Numerous public and documented policies support and encourage them. They work hand-in-hand with government departments, up to and including having government staff working directly out of the corporate offices. None of this is hard to know.

it's even worse at the local level. Regulatory policies were implemented to discourage light/heavy industry and now the only jobs are in "service sectors" that are increasingly actually the government or directly funded by the government. Jobs in social services, much of health care, managing the food bank - all state jobs with a sheen applied. Meanwhile the solar energy company exists because of state subsidies and all of the architecture jobs are to build new offices for State departments. Walmart and Dollar Tree are the State Stores, selling approved and universal goods imported at federally-negotiated rates.

It's easy to recognize if you understand how communist economies really worked rather than just believing some bs you learned form 80's movies.

>>60571767
it makes sense once you realize how closely intertwined the swe bros are with the psuedo government now and the fact Peter Thiel literally pays kids to quit college and become chosen ones

Come to Yuropa, Germany, UK or France for example, and watch in awe. We have a competitionless LLC that publishes every limited and public company's yearly mandatory reports, for a ridiculous fee. There are people who walk from door to door and want to "inspect" your heating for a small fee of ~$150 to $1000, and you have to let them in or you go to jail.

>>60571809
the days when you could write a book or any other endeavor which takes skill, original insights, and months to years to produce and expect to make it are long over
meanwhile longing/shorting a spread of alts/memes at the right time or getting into drama and then showing off your pussy on onlyfans mints new millionaires every day
if you compare the effort/reward and risk/reward in time and money, these are your only realistic options now

It's more accurately fascism, which is state ownership and private management. The massive regulatory and compliance burden that corporations deal with are how the state exerts control over enterprise. However, the major shareholders and board of directors at the fortune 500 are still all private sector people, for now.

And who do you think advertises with all these youtubers and streamers? Look at a brand like gymshark. They're not doing anything new just making gym clothes and they make millions because its a "hip" new brand that old people never had.
