      Feel free to start a business of your own. It takes 200% of your free time and after paying employees there’s often nothing left to live on.

        Yeah, and a start up investment of oh about your entire life savings if not multiple times that, which if your business fails will be nearly impossible to recoup and leaves you with either mountains of debt at worst, or at best ten thousand tacky tchotchkes that you thought seemed cute or humorous at the time but it turns out no one was willing to pay $50 for just to have crowding their living spaces… 🤷‍♀️
