One of everyone's favorite 90s kids shows had an episode that makes a lot more sense to us now. It's honestly worth a watch now.

It's only 10 minutes, watch it. What did you learn, /biz/antines?

damn that was good.

i had a friend in school who was always in trouble for selling shit. he would just move on to different items, i remember him printing out porn and selling that at one stage (before everyone at school had the the internet). eventually he started selling drugs. now he’s 29 and has a legitimate business worth 30 million.

One time I bought a twelve pack of sodas when they were on sale and sold them during classes for less than the machines on campus, I made like $5. It wasn't worth scaling, though, and at the end of the day I had to deal with a cooler of water which was unpleasant.

There wasn't a lot of economic opportunity at my school since most people were rich (I was not) and could easily satisfy themselves of any material desires.

This demonstrates that it's impossible to get rich (truly rich) with hard work alone; you have to be willing to exploit others labor while paying them less than what it's worth.

>while paying them less than what it's worth.
Labor/employment is a mutually beneficial transaction, it has no intrinsic "worth". You're perfectly able to acquire capital and invest in your own means of production if you think you're not getting enough compensation for your labor, as is everyone else.

our school didn't allow kids to bring in snacks/soda but some teachers have to make a living so they'd buy those box of 50 hot cheetos at costco and sell it to us for 25 cents and sell soda for 25 cents as well. my friend and i would just buy up the whole box before class started and start selling it for 1$ each it was low effort since all we had to do was take money and give change
