Every capitalist wants to invest as little and profit as much as possible.

There's more lemonade by volume in Lemon Pledge furniture polish than in Country Time Lemonade.
[That's why the small print says "Lemonade flavored drink"]

Competitions end. And when competitions end in a world where everything is "run like a business," the winners are not handed medals, but monopolies.

Enshittification

It should be "I used water, corn syrup, and yellow dye #65“ VS "I used piss." Only "organics" use some of the real stuff, with some "natural" flavors.

And also killed the dude that was trying to compete.

Trying to explain this to people I know is nearly impossible. They always think "but when I'm rich I want all the money and no regulation!" Well guess what you work at Walmart and will never be rich so I guess let yourself get endlessly exploited then. There is no ethical billionaire. Maybe not even millionaire tbh.
-
At this point I don't even consider 50 million net worth "rich". There are 2 classes of people. Billionaires and their cronies, and everybody else.
-
I think at around 5 million you no longer need to labor to live. You can put that in safe investments and just coast. That's maybe not super rich, but it's definitely above a milestone.

As things are, every Millennial and anyone in a later generation is going to have to be a millionaire to retire to a reasonable level of comfort. It could also be true that there are no ethical millionaires. Where does that leave us?
-
It's not that hard to be a millionaire by retirement if you have a decently good paying job. Assuming you're making $84k a year (good money, but hardly "capitalist pig" level) and invest 6% of your income every year in your retirement account (~$5k a year) at a roughly 7% average interest rate (historical stock market average) for 40 years that gets you to $1mil.

Very true

More like ..... I own the sugar plantation so I can use as much sugar as I want .... I can dump so much sugar into my lemon flavored water that it will be like selling crack to children. Once they're hooked, these kids will beg their parents to buy my stuff for cheap .... for the rest of their lives!
The sugar laden crap I get them hooked on also causes diabetes which is why I also own the diabetes medication pharmaceutical where these kids will buy their drugs as diabetic adults.
I'll make money on these dumb kids through every stage of their miserable lives.
-
Oh and I fired the kids who started the stand.

That was honestly pretty nice of the first guy to not use piss.

That´s how you build brand confidence

So we must buy his because he’s the lesser of two evils! That will fix the lemonade industry

Shout out to the $8 quart of ice water with half a lemon in it sold as "lemonade" at last year's ren faire. Though I did get lemon-flavored melted ice for the next few hours out of the deal.
-
You're just lucky they didn't sell you piss. Alternatively, you missed out on an "opportunity in the market" by not selling your lemonade piss.
-
Only $8 for a quart of water? Pretty sure the one I went to charged that much for about half as much.

Where the fuck do you think fentanyl comes from?
