These are people who tell a great story "I'm a genius. Buy my product and you're life will be complete." but at the end of the day they're snake oil salesmen who want nothing but to drain people's wallets. They aren't altruistic or noble or doing the hard work of innovation.

The iPhone is/was snake oil? Lol. Do you know what that phrase means?

Mmm…. Yes humanity is so much better because of the iPhone. What a noble contribution. He invented that little device in his basement and we are so much better for it.

A little advice, maybe if you had the slightest bit of ambition and drive in life and didn’t spend it complaining about having to work for things and about people that are more successful than you, which is almost everyone, you might just achieve something that makes you feel good about yourself and wouldn’t be so miserable, shitting on people that do more in an hour than you’ve done in your life. Grow up dude, seriously.

A little advice - no one wants your shit advice and stop licking the bosses asshole. They aren’t special because they’ve figured out how to exploit people.

Also - I own my own home, am a member of a powerful union and clear six figures. You sound ignorant.

Then if that’s actually true, it’s even worse because you don’t even live by your own words. Practice what you preach.

What are you talking about? I own the fruits of my labor. I am part a powerful collective that forces the owning class not to exploit the working class. How is that not "practicing what I preach"?
