"Working hard" alone does not translate to riches, yet so many people seem to think its so laudable. Bullshit Puritan ethic. Those idiots also hanged witches...
I watched my old man work on a golf course for the last 30 plus years. You think I didn't respect him because he didn't work "hard" in an office like some dumbass lawyer would describe it? He's retired early. I'm on a sucker train. I respect him more every day, and myself less and less...*
