    Silicon Valley is the genius business show of this century. It exposes the BS the upper management office says and gets away with and it exposes the dirty insider secrets of starting a public startup and the maneuvering that goes on in board rooms and the nonsense. The technical trickery the camaraderie everything. And it's just funny as hell. But it's better than any nba. Just watch every season and write down everything that happens and take notes. It's a master business class.

      I GUARANTEE you have never once in your life looked at an item and said “kind sir, I want to pay MORE than what you are asking for that product. I do not want to pay the cheapest I can get it, I want to pay more than what is necessary! 😂”
      Does that make you “cheap as fuck” and “selfish”? Of course not. It makes you human. If you ever run a business, you would do the exact same thing.
      This whole “‘rich and powerful people are keeping us down, brooooooo” bullshit you are spewing reeks of somebody who doesn’t have the talent, drive, and initiative to get ahead in life and resorts to jealousy in snide UA-cam comments to cope.

I see fresh mba hires all the time talking about how they’re going to change everything. They all talk with the same BS business buzzwords. How they will be the new CEO and get upset when they don’t get promoted quickly. A lot leave and I get pings from them years later hoping they can get their old job back. My company pays extremely well and is honestly amazing. It took me years and luck to get where I am. They all think every company is like mine.
