  • It’s so weird how this is foreign to people at first. I owned a small business for a time as a hobby, and all profits went to employees or employee-related benefits. I took nothing (actually I lost money…a lot).

    But people couldn’t wrap their head around that, they were always asking why I didn’t take at least a little. And my answer was always that I have a day job, I’m not doing the work that they are, I don’t deserve the money.

    And people’s brains would explode over that. Like, it made sense once stated bluntly, but it’s like they would have never arrived at that conclusion on their own which was baffling.
