Most doctors work their way up to a point where they can run their own business or a semblance of that. Medicine doesn't pay well while you are working for someone else. You need to be a consultant or have your own practise to get the big bucks. Bill Gates also got rich working for himself, a company he had a stake in, not for someone else.
If you look at millionaire bankers most will have a company set up which their wages got through and officially they are consultants or loan outs. Most will be running other businesses on the side which is why it always turns out the latest hippy yogurt brand was started by bankers. It's not that they burn out then start the company (which is usually the line they sell) but while working in the bank they have multiple business interests and then one becomes a big hit so they give their other jobs up and focus on that.
This is being middle class in the true sense (not the weird American middle income sense). It's not just moving up the tax brackets it's a completely different way of thinking about work, money and risk.
These people are "working for themselves" in a trivial sense, but the way they make money is that other people willingly give it to them in exchange for some good or service. They are absolutely working for the benefit of their customers.
ah yes, the man who got his start stealing from IBM and Xerox and made his fortune with the brilliant idea of undercutting Apple’s stupid prices- a prime example of success through real service!
I smoke the Unix crack pipe as much as anyone who’s done any systems programming, but it’s time we forgive Microsoft for getting rich off of selling a repackaged QDOS. If the home market were left to the UNIX vendors of the 80s and 90s, the world would be a shittier place.
we might be worse off if any of the thieves at Microsoft or Apple or the aspiring thieves at AT&T had done things differently, though I think GNU would have happened anyway which could have led to a slower-to-establish consumer standard led by something in the IEEE/W3C model in the absence of a monopoly.
but in any case, they made their money through selling other people’s inventions, aggressive business practices and inadvisable early dev cycles, not by helping people
Amen. Probably the chief villain in preventing date +%Y from being the year of Unix on the desktop. In case you haven't read Raymond's The Art of UNIX Programming:
Sun was already a success (with imitators!) when, in 1983, the U.S. Department of Justice won its second antitrust case against AT&T and broke up the Bell System. This relieved AT&T from the 1958 consent decree that had prevented them from turning Unix into a product. AT&T promptly rushed to commercialize Unix System V--a move that nearly killed Unix.
Since we're letting our hair down. Tell me how you really feel about the Jews As an anti-capitalist, what would you say is the best solution to that problem?

Your condescending, contradictory bullshit isn't attractive to anyone except your frothing, basement-dwelling, virgin army.

After reading through a thread full of faggots, your post at the bottom always brightens my day snappy

Part of me wishes they pull off a communist revolution, just so I can watch Commissar Cletus beat them to death for being bourgeois.

That's funny, isn't everyone supposed to be equal in a communist regime, and things belong to the workers?

Lmao doctor and “bill gates” immediately comes to mind. I️ could probably name dozens of others but they are too retarded to bother.

Bill Gates is a punk who's mommy got him a job with IBM that he used to stab them in the back.
WTF you save a few million people from Malaria and everyone forgets about Micro$oft?
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-13
bill gates made zero $ doing malaria stuff, so i don’t think that’s a very good example of making money by helping people lol

They forgot about actors. Michael Fassbender did more portraying Jobs than Jobs ever did.

Most actors start off rich though.

Yea I guess if someone has never thought about economics or entrepreneurship before they might actually be that retarded.
