This is idiotic. This is not how owning a business works at all. I own a small contracting business and even I hire someone else for payroll.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Most of those are just costs. I'd replace that with building a customer base and doing the math for how much of it you need to keep income over costs. That's what kills most business ideas.

Don't worry, you're responding to a Marxist shitposter that doesn't understand the irony of this comic while he's advocating owning the means of production.

I’m a Marxist myself but let’s call a spade a spade here boys

[–] Tiltinyall 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed, I have various socialist proclivities, but man is it hard to deal with full blown tankies all over this site. It gets dumb real fast. Some of you guys are really ruining your cause by opening your mouth.

Like what specifically? I haven’t really even seen any Marxist vs socialist fighting on Lemmy.

Naah dude, you think I'm fighting for socialism. I'm saying I want nothing to do with it because of the ignorant representation it gets on the internet.

ie: Statements like East Germany was well taken care of by Communist Russia and anything having to do with public services provided by any socialist or Communist government. They are outright false, and the commenters are disingenuous liars. OP is one of them and I've encountered their lies numerous times.

I get annoyed with people who Stan for any politician and don’t use dialectics and nuance and historical significance to talk about these issues. It’s an issue with marxists just as much as any political leaning, but a lot of my fellow marxists should know better honestly.

Leftist infighting has been the death of many leftist movements in the last 100 years.

This reads like some crappy anti-union propaganda.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

all of those things are less hassle than having a boss

I tried my hand at being an independent consultant for a while. I hated having to manage everything myself. Realized I want someone else to handle all of that and just want to show up, do a job, go home. Much happier working for others. Might be a personality thing.

Rather brave to believe that you'll have a product, an engineering departement, a marketing departement, a support departement or any employees in your startup.

Just one guy. With many hats.

I once wrote and sold some extremely shitty software, most of the effort was in the testing and support "departments", which were merged as I just had my (fortunately mostly very patient) customers work through the bugs with me.

The best case scenario while living a capitalist way of life is to be the exploiter. Sure some can save up to buy their emancipation from the economic system, but they will always be behind those who take advantage of others.

What a beautiful life to leave your kids...
