I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
When someone describes themselves as an ‘entrepeneur’, particularly when they say that in their dating profile, I immediately assume they’re just a grade A wanker.
I’ve always wondered what that means. Did they start an LLC and do nothing with it? Fall for a pyramid scheme? Write phishing emails?
Usually when someone owns a business, it’s a point of pride and part of their sense of self. “I run a restaurant” or “I’m a patternmaker” or something. As an accountant myself, I find I use this gif way too much:
Yeah you’re pretty much dead on. If they were doing something even remotely interesting they would say that without being vague.
“I run an Amazon dropship reseller service for cheap pots and planters” is kinda dumb but you are running an actual business. the only way saying you’re an entrepreneur is cool is if you are selling something so sophisticated no one will have any clue what the fuck it is… and even then you’d elaborate a little.
The silence on the matter speaks volumes.
Yeah well I’m a businessman
That’s because they don’t want to actually do something, they just want to do business. It’s an empty phrase that means anything that roughly looks like it’s making money without any effort.
entrepeneur = unemployed procrastinator with a trust fund
Either that or a Ponzi scheme victim
