you can't get deals anymore like you used to be able to because everything is owned by a company rather than "some guy" and companies don't work like that. companies bought out all the guys. which is hard for me because i was raised to seek deals at the expense of all else
Reminds me of that sopranos scene where Paulie tries to shake down a Starbucks type location
Ok i got it wrong. It was two other guys in his crew
And now the companies are getting bought by private equity whose goal is to extract everything they can and leave nothing. Moral of the story, do business with some guys.
we just read "the table where rich people sit" about a little family that's poor but happy because the parents pan gold and lay fences. you can't do that anymore. mineral rights got bought. fences got bought. the whole concept of fences is copyrighted now
you can't find an elderly man who owns and lives on a decaying faux western town movie set and move your whole cult there to plot your ritualistic murders anymore. halliburton bought the movie set and turned it into a jamba juice
UBI would revitalize small business at the expense of corporations. UBI is effectively a "wealth tax" enforced through increased labor costs.
there's so few guys I have left my mechanic and two guys at the flea market

Private equity should be banned.
back before NYS computerized their annual vehicle inspection stickers i got one from my dad's guy while i was sobbing hysterically the entire time over a boyfriend moving away. i only had to turn on/off the headlights
corporations don't care if your boyfriend moves away. my dad's guy for this would have been mr. van tassle and mr. van tassle cares if your boyfriend moves away
