    I feel like this is how self made billionaires think:

    Oh my first million…yet Oh my first 10 million…yet Oh my first 100 million…yet Oh my first billion…yet

    You don’t HAVE to be content with your wealth to find happiness at any level.

      tbf, you really learn just how rigged everything is when you get the first million. just enough you start to feel comfortable about going into serious business for yourself perhaps, to leave something behind for your kids or family so atleast 1-2 more people dont have to start from nothing again…then, depending on where you live the local robber barons flex their muscles and try to fuck you around.

      only difference between the cities and rural america is most of these bumfuck city councils have less organized labor to contend with (which, US city-labor is already pretty pathetic)
