Mah, hailed by Forbes as a “wildly successful serial entrepreneur” who launched her first six-figure business in middle school, has built a business empire worth over $500 million. Despite these accomplishments, the 32-year-old describes herself as a “struggling entrepreneur.”
“Does my life sound like a fairy tale? When I hang out with aspiring entrepreneurs in college, they say they want my life. But my best friends who know me best almost always say they would HATE my life,” Mah wrote candidly in her post.
She revealed working a minimum of 60 hours a week and grappling with what she calls “accomplishment dysmorphia.” Mah also shared deeply personal struggles, including the pain of losing an ex-boyfriend to suicide and her ongoing battle with comparing herself to others.
gee I wonder if the boyfriend killed himself due to ending up with a relentless shark-eyed clout chaser with a soul so dark & empty a thousand universes in full bloom could never hope to fill it 🫢

OH DEAR: https://archive.ph/263Z3
“entrepreneur playing the long game” ok fuck right off Jessica, in my country we say “stories made up in the beer garden”
I think she wants to cope with her downgrade or something along the lines…
This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol
Nice. I’ve been planning for an extended period of being homeless, starving, and working on my interpersonal skills by relying on strangers for basic needs.
Oh, wait, not planning, I meant bracing. Silly me.
So brave 🥹
No one should have this privilege to begin with. Society should work to create a livable experience for everyone instead of constantly making comfort and stability an exclusive club.
For much of history, comfort and stability wasn’t available to anyone, at least a large portion of society today in developed counties could claim that (anything lower middle class and up).
Things could certainly be better, I’m just pointing out that things are a lot better than many doomers claim. This lady is certainly super entitled, but the fact that the average person can afford to fly across the world is pretty awesome.
The rich are constantly clawing more of that comfort away from the “more fortunate” middle class you speak of as well as the poor just to add to a score card. Every step of improvement is against their lust for all to be their slaves in one way or another. The more complacent and content people are with their gains, the more the powerful will take. The doomers as you call them understand that all gains are tenuous. The rich are parasites.
That doesn’t match the stats I see, which is a pretty constantly increasing standard of living for the average person. Real median household income in the US had been consistently rising (here’s a bit longer term data). If the rich really are taking from everyone, surely we’d see those numbers go down, no?
Yeah, it’s not great that some people are obscenely wealthy, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us are getting poorer, we’re also getting richer, just more slowly than the very rich.
Wage stagnation is completely fucked, though, and housing and rent prices are shooting up at absurd rates all over the place. Every year comes a shitty raise that can’t keep up and companies pat themselves on the back for being so generous while their employees are effectively poorer than they were the year previous.
None of that talks about the fact that we can take care of everyone but the rich are hell-bent on taking as much as they can regardless of what it does to others. The true reason the US is the worst country on earth, in my opinion, is because there’s no reason why they need to be such a flaming dumpster fire full of dogshit but they are anyway just so a handful of the worst people in history can make little bit more money.
housing and rent prices are shooting up at absurd rates
They’re actually stabilizing and coming down a little in some areas, so I think we’re likely to see a bit of a correction now that construction seems to be catching up with demand.
But housing is also a major factor in inflation, which is why I linked inflation-adjusted figures. That data shows that wages are rising slowly relative to the prices of things. Some things will increase in price faster than others, so housing has been outpacing other things people spend money on. All that comes out in the wash in the averages.
we can take care of everyone
Right, and I agree with you.
My point is that despite all that, the average person is better off each year than they were the previous. There are obviously ups and downs, and each person is affected differently, but the median person generally does better each year. It’s easy to lose sight of that when we see prices going up w/ inflation, but it tends to work out.
“Rich person that has everything the working class suffers to obtain, culturally appropriates the experiences of the working class to benefit themselves.”
Rich people will steal anything.
Crazy, when I want to be grounded I just connect myself to the ground pin on my socket.
No… I am not joking sadly https://groundingofficial.com/
“It’s no wonder [bad things] rates are on the rise! It must be because of not being barefoot on the grass!”
Yea, not uhhhh all this fucking horseshit.
If grounding doesn’t satisfy you, you may wanna try sounding.
Why not both? Take a long double sided pin, one end goes in the ground socket, the other…
I especially like that they claim electronics burst into flames if they’re not grounded, because the electrons have nowhere to go.
Which, let’s ignore the complete misunderstanding of how electricity works for a moment, but if they truly believe the ground pin does something functionally, how do they ignore all the shit that only has a two prong plug?
That’s hilarious. If you actually bought into this BS, you could just walk outside barefoot, it’s free and literally everyone has access.
This is in addition. Like if you are at home or a hotel and want to be “grounded”
Also, they have grounding shoes! Which are shows with a few small metal rods going through the bottom, so that when you wear them you are still electrically connected to the ground (which means they assume you don’t wear socks???)
LMAO WTF is this?? xD. This website screams “healthcare scam”, the spin to win wheel pop-up is the cherry on top.
I hope no one actually falls for this (please let me have this fantasy thx)
I have friends who sleep on a pile of wires…

And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft brown eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that LinkedIn clout chasers were no longer even remotely human.

BURN CORPO SHIT
If only she would ground herself in reality starting from the top floor of her skyscraper
“I like pretending to be poor just like the little people I step on to attain my wealth. It’s a great change of pace!”
“whisper networks of power players” doesn’t set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don’t think, even for one second, “everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly.” You don’t think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?
PATHETIC

And in an instance, my brain was turned in to Pulp“Garcon? I’d like one of your… Big Mac burger meals, medium rare please. If you have truffles, please include them on the side. Also my chosen table by the window seems to be occupied. Please chase them away. Thank you.”
What the fuck is a Gar-con
Garçon, si t’enlève la cédille ça fait garcon, et gare au con ma fille, gare au con!
Yall too fancy. Where I’m from we sit on old wire spools and drink out of rinsed out bleach bottles.
