you think he deserves the company because he worked hard

what if someone else technically owned the food truck at first

no he owns it because it was his to begin with

then should all that hard work mean he just gets a minimal payment and no ownership

it's the same work

no because that would be stealing

which is what you're proposing

it's just a different set of rules

it's not "stealing" because it's not violating the rules

it's a different set of rules

where what you said should happen happens

people who work hard building businesses, get to share in the profit of those businsesses

i'm saying that should be the rule

generally it's now the exception

so you're saying if someone works at a company for a long time, and works hard, they should get a proportional share of the profits?

yeh, the same thing you just said

right, thats what I thought you believed

you said how awesome it was that someone's work resulted in them having control and sharing in profit

now let me explain to you why thats bullshit

but that's not how it actually works in this society-- actually owners can invest in stock and put in no work at all

i want society to work the way you falsely implied it does, that's all

when you agree to work for someone, you're forgoing a whole host of risks and challenges such as market stability and supply and demand of goods in exchange for an agreed upon and steady wage, you get paid what you're worth whether you're some bum off the street or a highly skilled intern or technician

the guy who owns the company generally built that company from the ground up or was there for most of its growth

hm? are you explaining to me how employment works? i know

yes so what are you not understanding

no, the guy who owns the company is generally a multinational, what planet do you live on

my boss was not a multinational

that's not the general rule

he lived across the street from me

what products did you sell

cabins

like rooms you could rent

were the things you sold *bought* from people who made their companies from the ground up

that we wheeled out to you

or was it just from sysco of course

no they were hand built by my bos

boss

do you think that's how most of the economy works

more or less yeah it is

what do you think about land ownership

supply and demand
