You get flak for this advice Scott, because it is the harder route. To fight back and change the system. Chipotle is like giving up. Hard work for a slow burn as opposed to a quick turnaround.

Honestly just doing the opposite of what online E-right gurus say as advice is probably the best heuristic. Recommending young guys drop out of college to become fry cooks while simultaneously celebrating H1B college grads is diabolical lol

This was an excellent assessment. Ambition should be strongly encouraged. Telling young guys to settle for low pay and low status is really unacceptable.

I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand, suppose you're a low skilled white guy who has no realistic shot of a high earning career. If you drop out and live like a shiftless, devil may care outlaw, you actually may be more of an asset to our people than a 80k per year striver. The Southport riots can only happen if there are people with nothing to lose.

Of course, if you have the aptitude to become a high powered lawyer, you should do that, not work some low skill job in the middle of nowhere.

Why is he like this? I remember him being pretty cool up until like a year and a half ago.

He did not quite go as bad as James Lindsay did though.
