This rant is about 2 clicks away from being BLM and Occupy Wall street material.

I'm curious what old cars you have in the yard....

 

[fattboyzz]

Wait...What?

You sold it to someone at a price you agreed to. They sold it to someone at a price the party agreed to.

Why are you whining about? It's capitalism, you know.

Finally on vacation I see ...

I bought 2 duplexes not long ago for $160,000. Flipped them in 6 weeks and made $24,000. Am I a bad man, too?

Not bad enough, 24k isn't going to last 6mo after taxes. Haha

The evil capitalist company I work for buys stuff for X and then we MARK IT UP AND FLIP IT!!!


That used to be called a profit (and the secret is - that's how we make payroll!) Shhhhh!!! Don't tell nobody cuz they might get all pissy.

I don't think the op was railing against capitalism. There is a big difference between making a profit and taking advantage of people.

A friend of mine used to have a booth at a flea market where he would sell old soda bottles that he dug up out of his back yard, among other things. He had one bottle marked at $1. Some guy talked him down to 50 cents for it. Then, he went down a few booths and sold it for $200. My fried was mad. He wasn't mad that the guy got $200 for the bottle. If he knew where to turn a profit, that was fine with my friend. What my friend was mad at was that the guy wouldn't pay him the full $1 that he had marked on the bottle to begin with.
