(24,461 posts)Quintissential son of privilege. It's like, aren't libertarians generally about self-reliance? This guy did NOTHING to get where he's at but fall into the right family. He used to work for daddy's company until he sold it and, using monies from his giant salary, is now opening his own brewery. And he'll, even after all of that, still spew on about how "no one helped him out, I made it on my own", even though self-employment pretty much means you're going to be utilizing government services somehow (especially with a brewery).
He spouts the virtues of how job offshoring leads to lower prices which benefit all of us, the impact is minimal, "economics 101", blah blah blah blah BLAH! Like Tommy Freidmannnnn, this is a guy who's never EVER going to be in the position to see and live the other side of the coin, so it sounds SO easy to look down on the serfs and "tsk tsk" their plight.
