I am only half way in myself, exited at $22 and wanted to re-enter at $16 but it never fell. Burned the same way with PLTR earlier.

I need more patience.

I get it. I understand. The idea is if you lower taxes on corporations and the wealthy, it will help them expand, which results in more people being hired. That's the idea.

That's. The. Idea.

If you take a look at the real numbers, however, you get a very different picture. Yes, companies and the wealthy are benefiting *immensely* from lower taxes. Absolutely, they're expanding. But they are not hiring more people, certainly not in the US.

US Corporations enjoy some of the lowest taxes in the developed world, and have consistently gotten break after break after break over the last 20 years. America's wealthiest class has gotten a, what, 40% tax *decrease* over the last two decades? There hasn't been a better time in the entire history of the United States to be a wealthy person or a company.

And, yet... Our real unemployment rate hasn't been this high since we started collecting accurate data in 1975. Fun facts:

>Real unemployment is at nearly 33%
>"Labor Non-participation" (which is just re-labeled unemployment) hasn't been this high since we started keeping records
>Nearly 1 in 2 working age adults in the US, right now, does not have a job

We've been trying to "trickle down" thing for literally decades now, and what do we have? The highest wealth and income inequality ever recorded in a modern first world country, the highest unemployment the US has seen in nearly a century, and a middle class so pathetically weak that we are on the verge of a financial shitfest so massive it will make 08 look like a fucking children's play.

But don't take my research for it. And don't take my anecdotal evidence for it. But maybe, just maybe, you could consider the studies conducted by almost literally every single active economist alive today, all of whom say the same thing: trickle down economist does not work.

>all these crabs in a bucket
Good lord I'm glad I stopped coming here.

I'll see you guys again in a few months once I'm living completely off of affiliate/ad income, working from home, not cucking myself for anyone. I'll be sure to rub it in your salty faces, and tell the 1% of /biz/ that isn't close-minded crabs in a bucket that the best thing you can do for success is leave this cesspit.

Ya'll motherfuckers dumb, and honestly I've never seen a more toxic community. Literally /b/ is a better place than this.

Peace out retards :^)

So a while back I got contacted by one of those """companies""" that offer you a work at home position for "gift wapper" or "package handler" or whatever.

Obviously they use stolen credit cards and information to buy expensive productsand use you as a middle man so they can smuggle it out of the country or whatever. But what I want to know is how I can scam them? The only way I can contact them is via email and they respond with their broken english and shit.

right now the """training period""" will be over in about a week, then they'll send me a check that will obviously bounce that they hope that I'll spend like an idiot, and then they get away scott free while I have to pay back my bank.

I want to know how to profit off of this, even if it's by a few hundred dollars. At first I was sending out the product immediatly so they wouldn't suspect me, but now I'm hording these products, which are at the very least worth $500 each. I was personally thinking of keeping all of this shit and then ever getting into contact with them again, but I fear a bit that they will come to my house and shoot me or something. I'm also thinking of just slowing the process out, sending out a product every few days and wait for the check to come in, holding their packages as "hostage". If the check comes and its real, I'll send them their shit, but if it bounces, I'm thinking of just keeping the rest and then selling the product off of craigslist or to a few friends of mine.

Anyone else ever experience this or have any other ideas/advice?
