I think I figured it out. These guys are thinking of themselves when they were younger. They mooched off mommy and daddy's money after college until they were forced to get a job. They assume everyone's life is like that.
This is also the secret to how guys like Bezos start a company from a garage; they mooched off their parents, so didn't have to worry about how long it took to make any money.
Bezos took it a step further than most. Small loans of several hundred thousand dollars from his parents paired with actual fraud perpetrated against the major publishers.
I vaguely recall the fraud, but I forget the specifics. Please drop a link for more info if you have one! (Otherwise, yes, I am capable of searching the web myself.)
In Flood's case, he had a show on his college's radio so his parents bought him a station. He got more stations. Then he became a politician. He has never worked a day in his life.
Gotcha. Sounds relatively easy to verify, but eh, personally I'm inclined to believe you. And fits his entitled attitude for sure!
If you haven't started a business in your garage, you just need to remarket yourself to yourself. ~~I once sold some old clothes on ebay and one of the items went to Canada~~ I am an international designer jeans exporter.
I’m the biggest buyer of my own books (to give away).
Weird I’m not a millionaire yet. Perhaps I’m not marketing to myself effectively enough.
Are you charging enough?
Probably not, but I can’t afford to charge more.
Did you write The Art of the Deal?
or they come from WEALTH, and they were mooching of from parents even to this day, and became wealthy themselves.
