This.

I love to build things. Humans do. All we ever did up until recently was build shelter and tend to farmland. The best I can do in my day job is design projects, come up with specs, and have the grunts do the work/implementation. It leaves me feeling slightly empty inside. In my side business (a multimedia company) I get to design projects, come up with specs, and implement/work everything out myself. Nothing beats the satisfaction of enjoying the fruits of your own labor after grinding it out for a few days or weeks on end.

The reason for why a lot of highly paid white collar workers in finance, sales, marketing, and other similar fields with a highly corporate feel have shitty, empty, and meaningless lives is because they aren't creating anything that's theirs. They're on the treadmill you're speaking of. See: >>16790814 and what his coworker does to cope. I've seen this play out time and time again.

My aunt worked at a magazine back in the day. Would spend hours oggling sexy 80's and 90's models in old issues growing up. Made me into the man I am today.

They have never released actual numbers for oil reserves and were rejected from IPO and/or listing on multiple first world exchanges. They are good at smoke a mirrors.

Forgive me for that gaff. The links you posted, which I then clicked, were to the NASDAQ website. Long day and it's only 2:00pm here.

It's real nigga after hours market after hours (hope that makes sense). We pull up our positions, take it all in, realize that money doesn't bring your happiness and come to catharsis by shitposting.

It still gets the point across that making money is one thing and starry eyed visions of the future are another.

I went to school to study molecular biology so that I can then work in research or biotech/biopharma to find cures for diseases and ailments and do the noble thing. This, however, didn't align with the nagging feeling/voice inside my head that told me I needed to make a lot of money by any means necessary... so I dropped out of school and became an entrepreneur who also trades in the financial markets instead. Take my point of view for whatever it is worth.
