People like jps need to lose their jobs for awhile to get some sense

I own the company you silly fool. It's the same company I founded and
have been a major shareholder of for 17 years. It counts
multinational corporations as clients. It's a creation of my own
doing. My own initiative, my own risk. I've never had to give
anything away to get a company to purchase my products.

Is your company what an audit would confirm is a going concern?

Is that why you have no employees and use engineers in India?

They will realize the awful truth that they truly are
superfluous population and nobody really cares about their fate. She
is correct, us capitalists truly have no need for people like her.
Once you are unemployed, you become invisible and part of "The
Problem".

Is that what you're bitchin' and whinin' about?

I know, I been there and done that, unemployed for 5 months before
rolling the dice and starting my company using home equity and
scavenging junk to make lab equipment. When you are the founder of a
small business who has endured just about every disaster that can
befall you, you tend to have little pity for whiners. People like jps
are simply too lazy to live off their own mental capacity but instead
want to live off the efforts of others.

Again, you are without basis. This is the third company I've been a
founder of and remain it's CEO after 17 years. How old is your
concern and what level of clientelle does it claim?

Now, I can understand younger people having to work for somebody else
for awhile cuz they don't yet have enough knowledge to be on their
own.

The last time I worked for someone else was in my early thirties. I
ran a consulting firm at the same time since it wasn't bringing in
enough to support the household.

When you get older, instead of bitchin and whining about them
"Evil Capitalists", go to work for yourself. If you don't yet know
how to work for yourself, then you aren't ready to do so; keep
learning and shut up until you do.

Talking about me? Foot in mouth?

So, engage those two neurons and figure a way to work for yourself and
then you will no longer be excess population and will become part of
the solution. Creating jobs for others is the most laudable thing a
person can do but you will never get any credit for it, only the blame
for them being unhappy it isn't a "perfect job".

Thanks for the advice. I've been working for myself since I was in my
late teens.

I guarantee I've spent more years engaged in entreprenurial ventures
than you. Maybe you should find someone else to lecture.
