Come to think of it, I think porky is beginning to anticipate this. I went shopping the other day and I couldn’t help but notice how many posters and books at the book store advertised about how they will help “your business”.

I’ve tried to go to some open networking events to see if I could BS my way into a job, and some of the conversations seem to discuss a future where EVERYONE is their own small business owner and we have abolished the “worker”. I’m guessing the millions who couldn’t beat the odds have starved to death and the rest of human history is the rich selling to each other. And this is all seen as a good thing.

I don't remember this ever not being the case. Even when I was little back on the 90s, everyone's "dream job" was owning a small business. If you didn't own your own """"small"""" business, you'd better be a doctor or something because otherwise you were seen as "unsuccessful."

It's constantly reinforced. As I got older and looked into how businesses were built, I ended up turning into a commie because there was no way to own a business without doing unethical, ghoulish shit. Even though those methods may not be illegal, you aren't getting ahead without destroying other people's lives.
