all of those things are less hassle than having a boss

The trick is to only employ yourself.

Depends on the job.

Mine is great, I wouldnt trade having a narrow set of well defined goals and a known set of giant pains in the ass for the plethora of ever changing issues a small business startup has to deal with.

I know plenty of people who would.

I once wrote and sold some extremely shitty software, most of the effort was in the testing and support “departments”, which were merged as I just had my (fortunately mostly very patient) customers work through the bugs with me.

The best case scenario while living a capitalist way of life is to be the exploiter. Sure some can save up to buy their emancipation from the economic system, but they will always be behind those who take advantage of others.

What a beautiful life to leave your kids…
