Betty Sue makes $286,000 per month on Etsy. She started with nothing, and now she’s filthy rich.

Come on, man. The chances of that happening to the average person are close to zero. Stories like this give people unrealistic expectations.

    Yes, reporting on a success of an individual is practically the same thing as openning the gas valve… Jesus F. Christ !

      It’s the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money. The bullshit propaganda of ‘built out of their garbage’ its so easy anyone can do it, if only you work hard enough. And if you are not a successful independently wealthy individual you didn’t work hard enough and you are to blame, not the system that’s designed to keep large segments of society poor for the benefit of the rich.

        That’s funny, because it’s not the liberal leaning folks who glorify the hard labor.

            Communists and fascist are the conservatives on my side of the planet though. They both appeal on “the good old times, when the world was right”. Both equally glorify physical labor and fight against the intellectualism.
