A bright young Austro-libertarian I know
well just wrote this:
"I realize this is a controversial statement, and obviously I don't include every one of my friends in this category (every situation is different), but it's pretty sad that libertarians in their mid 20s and 30s are so broke. Like generally speaking, there's an overall refusal to go make good money -- money that can be leveraged to truly live a life of dissent.
"Of course, it takes time to rethink the art of making money and not think in terms of the 9-to-5. But even beyond that, it seems like so many of my peers spend all their time reading articles and clicking social media links and stuff and they could be creating things and living better lives. Ignoring 'the political' needs to be something we live out. We shouldn't get sucked into the showcase. That's how they win."
Boom.
"I don't have time," they say, after posting their 77th Facebook comment of the day.
That's pathetic.
We're the ones praising capitalism to the skies, but what are we ourselves doing?
Oh, and by the way: half the time I see libertarians -- libertarians! -- griping about marketing and advertising. If even libertarians won't defend these honorable professions, and instead repeat left-wing talking points about them, who will?
Anyway:
Tonight Steve Clayton's training closes its doors.
Ask yourself: what features would you want your ideal business to have?
Then ask:
Which one of those features does the business you'll be building with Steve's training lack?
If the answer is none -- and it darn well should be -- then you know what to do.
Yes, capitalism is great.
Time to become a capitalist.
Closes at midnight for good.
