He started out by crashing on someone's couch, and finding all the free shit he could on facebook marketplace and craigslist and reselling it. His very first step shows how making a million dollars like that is done, by stealing everything that isn't nailed down and extracting a profit for nothing. That's the biggest takeaway I'm getting here. I'm sure most of those people giving things away on craigslist and facebook were thinking they were giving it to someone who would directly use it, not a vampire.
That also goes to show how not everyone can climb out of poverty. Maybe one guy can but he just pulled the ladder up by removing those resources for other people who were actually in need. A business degree haver should be aware that just because one person can acquire something at a certain price and turn a profit on it doesn't mean that everyone can do that. That free item was available to exactly one person exactly one time.
I only object to it because he's actually rich. If an actual homeless person could get off the streets this way, more power to them
As long as they write smug articles about it saying that homeless people are lazy because they got out of it this way, therefore there's no excuse.
A hyper individualist culture that pits the working class against each other to prevent revolt.
Why didn’t he go on the massive amounts of government assistance I’ve always been told by reactionaries is available for the homeless?
Pretty crazy how the first thing this dude decided to do was to get something for nothing lmfao
