    Kayden, I thought you were smarted than this. The two crumb crunching entrepreneurs you spotted were doing the only thing they could, as budding businessgirls. Sure they knew they didn’t have the best location, but as with other ventures into capitalism by cuties willing to take a risk, they were simply attempting to stay “under the radar”. Forgoing the wild makeup, cheesy Petey look-a-like and the obvious better local, all in an effort to get a little capital together so they might later actually achieve whatever aspirations were rolling around in those little sponge brains of theirs.
    It took me 5 seconds to find and provide the evidence of what I already knew the little rug rats were doing. Or trying to avoid might be a truer statement.

    Thanks to your bringing them to National Attention, thus alerting the Social Engineering, Fairness and We Need to Monitor Your Every-Fucking-Thought-Movement-Action Police…. My guess is they aren’t there today.
    Next time you’re out stimulating the economy and stumble across what your pretty little ass thinks is a misguided young nubile trying to earn a buck, I hope you’ll not only boost their sales but Allow Them To Fail. THAT, my friend is one of the MOST IMPORTANT parts of Capitalism.

    They're not selling altruism, they're learning the basic structure of capitalism. The value that that lesson will produce when they're older is well worth a $1 investment.

    I asked you to stop incorporating superficially-understood Objectivist concepts into your blog posts.

    I was actually just reading a book on arguments and fighting and the difference between them. You like to fight instead of argue because you attack things that can't be debated in a forward manner leading towards a resolution. We obviously have different values at a fundamental level and we are not going to change them. I'm supposed to switch it to the future tense now by suggesting solutions. For example: you could stop reading.

    Yes, I could stop reading, but I need to continue for a specific purpose all my own.

    But, I suppose I do owe you enough to at least tell you that it has never been to change your mind.
