    Do you get paid to lick capitalism’s boot on Lemmy or do you just waste your time and effort for fun?

      Actually I find discussing things to be relaxing.
      I don’t love capitalism; when unregulated it is very bad. If properly regulated, it can work, and it seems to work better than other systems. Capitalism in the U.S. has gone way off the rails (due to corporate and billionaire financing of politics).
      But in our current system, the small business owners are just doing their best to work within the system. Many small businesses owners work much harder than their employees.
