    But the business owner takes THE RISK. FUCKING WHAT RISK? The risk of having to liquidate your assets and have to work a normal job like your employees do for you? You don’t get to take that kind of risk unless you already have a fuckload of money or enough that a bank thinks it can get a steady return on investment, no one is taking any risk here.

      That is the risk. The risk for the worker is that we become homeless. The risk for the business owner is that they become a worker; their worst nightmare.

      But the business owner takes THE RISK

      I know, it’s terrible, right? Shouldn’t we strive for a society where individuals don’t have to go through the stress of that kind of risk just to feed their families? Couldn’t we socialize the risks as well as the benefits?
