Hello, World

In fifth grade, my class was assigned to read “The Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck. It was some of my earliest training in basic principles of capitalism. Own a factor of production and use it to generate profit. Instead of spending that profit frivolously, use it to buy more factors of production. Keep doing this long enough and you’ll find yourself smoking opium and screwing hookers in an upscale gentleman’s club.

This was the life I wanted to lead.
