Anon invents triangle trade that's both fake and gay.

Who profits the most from such schemes? Credit card processor companies. I believe they're trying to trick us.

I have friend that said it 13 years ago. If you wanna be rich, make yourself the middle man. You can try to open a public company, market it, find investors, and hopefully you'll eventually run a profit and the stock value will go up. Or, you can be an investor making money by buying stock that provide good dividends and go up in value. But, the best position is in the middle exchanging the stock. You don't have to convince others to invest and run a company that is successful when competing with others. You don't have to investigate and guess which companies will be profitable while competing with millions of other investors, banks, and AI. Nope. You just sit back and relax while people fight each other on the battlefield field you created.

Those are the people that make it. They insert themselves in a situation where others fight but they win regardless of who else wins.

  • Ford or Chevy? Oil wins
  • Chrome or Edge? Google wins
  • Facebook or Instagram? Meta wins
  • Plaintiff or defendant? Lawyers win
  • Pay off home loan or foreclose? Lender wins
  • Thousands of IPOs? Market-makers win
  • England or France? Rothchilds win
  • Russia or Ukraine? Military industrial complex wins

Which is part of our bigger issue going on right now. People know that being a middle man that takes a cut is the easy profit and everyone with enough money to try is doing it.

what you're describing is a leech. a parasite that offers no benefit to either nor adds to the value of society.

middlemen are the lowest of the low, and i cannot understand why anyone could sleep at night knowing their value in society is 0.

You gotta switch the cables. I'm assuming right now that you only want what you deserve through your labor. If you have extra or someone else is in need, you would rather they have it than you horde it or gain some luxury. Switch the cables so that what you value is hoarding and having luxuries without any merit. If someone else needs something, your power to not give leftovers to them is confirmation of your self-worth.

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

you are absolutely correct in your assumption. i grew up in poverty and i'd rather return to it if i could help others never having to experience it.

i get there are people with polar opposite views but absolutely cannot understand why you still wouldn't want to help the fellow man so we can all live better.

Who is powering all those transactions? Big Electric trying to stop paper and stone from making a comeback.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Why use stone when we have very good teeth and fingernails? Big stone wants to make us week. Not big big stone, which we can't lift unless very strong, but big little stone.

This is the kind of job AIs are going to replace. AIs are coming for the dick trade.

Yeah, I've banned a few accounts that seem pretty similar here

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I know you can't see this because you blocked me, but in my defense I never posed as anything other than what I am.

[–] bobbiguy2122@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I actually am not sure what you're talking about

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was jokingly pretending to be one of those people you banned.

Speaking from experience, most guys are reticent to send you nudes on reddit. Even when you want people to send you unsolicited dick pics, its not exactly frequent.
