[MD] Capitalism: my experience

[Dan Glover]

gav, you're always gonna get that stupid shit from people... you need
to work for money cuz its more efficient. the money has nothing to do
with it! a person needs to work to survive, nothing more.

good for you. i think it's awesome you can do what you're doing.
myself, i've been self employed over three decades now. for a few
years i tried building my businesses by hiring others but i find it
simpler just to work for myself now. i'm happier.

to me, that's the key... work for oneself... not for the money or
other exchange that comes from the work. just work. it's so simple
it's hard to see why others have such a hard time with it.

peace,

dan
