It's not even a joke. My friend worked for a pretty small construction firm. They employeed maybe 16 people. He always worked longer hours and helped out at his bosses house for free. After work i would sometimes go to his workplace to talk for a bit because he was overworked and underpaid. I was there a couple of times where his boss explained that they were on the brink of bankruptcy and everyone has to work extra hard. Dude had an old bentley that was collecting dust and his daily driver was an AMG. One day came in with a pretty new Lamborghini, showing it off proudly to his workers who were still tgere at like 8pm working for free. How did they react? "Woah, cool car" taking pictures and shit. That was the most surreal thing i have ever seen.

It's because all those people think that if they work harder, maybe, just maybe, they will be like him.

Unfortunately, most people can't critically think and put it all together.

"Ignorance is bliss" resonates deeper with me as i get older.
