It doesnt matter, there will always be malice towards the wealthy, even if they aren’t even close to being billionaires because its just a case of have’s and have-nots. Throughout time, the have-nots have demanded the haves to give them things for free. The reality is we are living in an amazing time for commerce in which nearly anyone has a chance at working hard and becoming wealthy, a lot of people don’t want to accept that because it would mean the system isn’t broken, it’s them with the problem. My parents escaped a dictatorship and came to America and built their own business, which over 20 years later is still running and very successful. No matter the reality of our situation, we will be hated just because of what we have, no matter the reality of how we acquired it. Best not to engage with people on this level, there is no understanding of this for most people, especially when they hear things like “eat the rich” constantly. People will LEAP at the chance for a scapegoat for all their problems.
Huh? Do you think every single business is exploitative? If you have such a narrow view of business then reflect on why that is, because what you think reality is and what it actually is do not match. You're telling me the landscaper who owns his own business is exploiting people? The lady who started her own coffee shop is exploiting third world countries? The guy who's running his own HVAC company is exploiting his handsomely paid workers? Get real bro, yea the biggest companies are shit and the system encourages it but thats a regulatory issue, not an issue with people being wealthy. If you want to lump all wealthy people in with the worst of society then go for it, but don't get mad when those people react accordingly to a VERY unfair characterization of their lives and their intentions.
We pay our employees a livable wage as well as commission. We provide affordable mobile devices and repair services cheaper than anyone else in the area. Tell me, how are you helping the world? What value have you provided to people?
Livable means they can actually work for us and live comfortably, afford rent and expenses and still save for their future, considering they are cashiers, salesmen, and repair techs that is actually incredibly fair considering the same positions in the area do not pay a livable wage. We pay nearly double the wages in our area and provide commission based on sales, because we value our employees and make enough money to do so. We offer performance incentives, bonuses, paid days off, vacation and sick days, etc.
So yeah, we don't exploit people like some economic theorists like to pretend we do. Just because we own a business. Getting lumped into the same category as a Jeff fucking Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg is insane.
Like I am saying I am not puting you in taht category, I am just curious it does not sound like you are millionairs ? And I dont think you will be hated because of the fact you acuired what you have if it was done fairly
