During an interview this guy mentioned that the reason why he chose to get rich and become successful was mainly due to the fact that many people basically underestimated him, in other words, they took him for a fool or like a little nothing, so he had to prove them wrong. That hit home for me.

[@y_limit_yourself]

Where did you see this? Can you pls send source? Did it have anything to do with his height, as I know he’s only 5 foot 5

[@thelastschelovjek]

I find it refreshing that this individual can be successful within an economic system that seems to provide headwinds against entrepreneurs like himself.

I'm sick of communist Democrats complaining about "income inequality." Income inequality isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Yes, the gap between the rich and poor is growing but it's not because the poor are getting poorer, it's because the rich grow richer at a faster pace than the poor, but this is simply the power of compound growth and there's nothing wrong with it. The fact of the matter is, the poorest people in the United States today live better than the Rockefellers did 100 years ago. The poorest people today have indoor plumbing, electricity, air conditioning, safe drinking water, instant communication with cell phones, the internet, etc. In the 1920s, Calvin Coolidge, the President of the United States saw his son die from an infection in a small cut in his foot. The president had access to the best medical care in the world and his son still died from a small cut. That was less than 100 years ago! Today if you get a cut you just open up your medicine cabinet and put on some antibiotic cream and a band aid, no matter how poor you are. Income inequality is not the problem, ignorance is.

[@abhimanyukarnawat7441]

Democrats=envy as policy

[@Dimka2012Bo]

Love his zest for business but what a bunch of garbage on regulations and the inequality. Sure there is no society that is equal, we are talking about the degree of inequality.

[@illuminated2438]

“Inequality” is communist agitprop.
The more you focus on “inequality,” the more inequality will get. Stop complaining and start learning and working.
And isn’t it funny that the most unequal of societies are precisely those that are the most socialist and communist?

He’s a crook, he’s hurt many poor and elderly lose their homes in mobile parks. He jacks up the prices! Very high. People have fought his company. Terrible and gross.
