I happened across this video yesterday about this entrepreneur. Seems like a good hearted person.

Shyster menu options include:

• $10 - the only choice and drink, mustard and sauerkraut
• $11 - hot dog with the wrong toppings and drink, four toppings a la carte
• $1 dog treats
• $1,000 shirt off my back

Some choice text from the display boards:

• "The Only Honest Ripoff in DC"
• All prices include tax, and there is no tip screen. I hate that garbage.
• Want a hot dog with no drink? You aren't saving money.
• Briefly recite the historical significance of MoonPies and/or RC Cola for a five cent discount on your whole order.

If I were local, I'd be buying some dogs.

He's working more than Congress.

As a cable guy I visited several thousand homes, all ages and incomes, got pretty good at judging people's lifestyle at an inside glance.

Went to install internet at this guy's new apartment, IRS agent. My god the room was sterile, also, "Shit. New place. This poor guy is going through a divorce." And he was.

He was utterly boring, middle-aged white guy, button down shirt, didn't have jack to say until his modem came online.

"Really? It's good to go?"

"Yep. All good."

"Hang on, hang on..."

Dude fired up Unreal Tournament, hopped in a quick game to test ping, "YES! YES! Thank you thank you thank you!"

Now that I wrote all that out, I have a guess what the divorce was about.

Y'know what? Fuck yeah good for him.

“One hotdog, please!”

“Fill out these forms where I put the fun stickers and get a witness to sign.”

“What if I don’t want this much commitment for a hotdog?”

“Jail >:-(“

Fulfilled with free hot dogs he means.

saying he’s “never felt so free and fulfilled.”

From another article, his role at the IRS is in writing tax law regulations for pension funds. I mean...it's gotta be done, but I kinda suspect that sometimes, it's not very exciting.

Honestly, I'm kinda impressed that he took his furlough and decided to knock something off his bucket list. I mean, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade and all that.

EDIT: Oh, they apparently also mentioned it in this article as well.

This is the plan of the elites: ONLY ELITES or PEASANTS… and the peasants have to say they’ve never felt better in their lives.

scheißters

that's sick. i wanna run a hotdog stand.

A lawyer named Stein, started a food business called Shysters? o.o

IRS: Your work is worth doing because it indirectly helps people pay taxes to government which indirectly increases the United States's gross domestic product compared to other nations by helping corporations consolidate into monopolies which indirectly allows corporations to [directly control government via regulatory capture to] indirectly lower prices via consumer welfare doctrine which (allegedly) indirectly lowers living costs of consumers to buy food to feed themselves.

Hot Dog Stand: You feed people, making them happy.

Uh huh until the local food cart gang remind him of certain things.

Flood him with business. Make his stand more profitable than working for the IRS. He quits. One less IRS lawyer.

Never heard of that website, looks like a bunch of gaming related stuff without proper sourcing outside of twitch and tiktok. Are they in any way reliable?

Not allowed to sell food along the beach here sadly, a hotdog stand could be fun to run occasionally. Get one of those bike trailer food stands, usually see them for ice cream but I am sure hotdogs work too.

Suppose it's very seasonal work though, nothing most of the year and loads in summer. But I can't do it so there is that problem.

It reminds me of the IRS guy from the Happy Gilmore sequel. "I became a lawyer because I was tired of people hating me and throwing me through glass doors" (flashback to when Happy Gilmore threw him through a door in the first film).

He should try it while wearing normal clothes, that'll take his freedom to another level 😉
