    Honestly, I do like he did it though. Now people can go, “Even he, with all his experience, his contacts, his health couldn’t manage it. So why are people buying the idea that a regular person can?”

        If he isn’t a sociopath, he’ll go on to advocate for basic income, housing rights, universal healthcare, and free education.

        I’m not gonna hold my breath though.

          No, he will give himself an easy out and never think of it again.

          “Well I didn’t raise a million but this 60k I came out with isn’t that bad.”

          Same, they will often ask good questions and then come to perfectly wrong conclusions.

          A lot of them are just soulless grifters though, preying on clickbait for views. Then they will sell their “guides” to brainwashed subscribers to milk them dry.

          Yes. We should work on raising everyones standard of living instead of thinking only millionaires get these benefits. The goal should not be for everyone to havea million dollars. The individualistic premise that he uses is flawed from the beginning.

            Yeah his whole premise for getting started required a smartphone, data plan and Facebook account.

            I suppose you could do it in a library with free gmail storage to reuse the pictures. But it’d be way harder to manage selling that way.

      He did make 64000 dollars in those 10 months though so people will probably still use that as a talking point to claim homeless people are just too lazy
