Just start a business

A conservative fallacy. Whenever a liberal or leftist mentions income inequality, poor working conditions or the many problems created by hierarchical systems: right-wingers, conservatives and 'libertarians' will inevitably resort to the 'just start a business' retort. The problems with this adage are A) it isn't possible for everyone to start a business, for a variety of reasons (e.g. most people do not possess the necessary startup capital). B) if everyone started their own business then there would be no workers available to work within each business, and C) most leftists are opposed to the concept of heirarchy in business, so starting their own business wouldn't solve the problem of heirarchy (if you're against the existence of bosses, becoming a boss does not solve the problem). The fallacy is common among pampered prep-boys who have never had to work a day in their lives.

Leftist: I hate the fact that people have to work 40 hours a week for 40 years just to earn their right to survive.
Conservative: Just start a business, then you won't have to do this.
Leftist: How does this solve the problem? I'll just be joining the ranks of those I despise.
Conservative: Yeah but you won't be a wage-slave anymore.
Leftist: Yes, but I don't just care about myself; I'm interested in the working conditions of all people.
Conservative: Lol w/e bosses work even harder bro.
Leftist: That proves my point, even bosses aren't exempt from the treadmill.
Conservative: You're just lazy lol, just start a business you lazy welfare sponge.
Leftist: How old are you?
Conservative: All Lives matter.

Looking Busy, Feeling Productive

What most incompetent, ineffective, or unethical workers do every day to remain on the payroll, or to avoid being fired.

Gullible bosses mistake busyness and long hours for productivity or good work ethics, because their staff are always looking busy, feeling productive all the time.

"Oh, it's raining after all"

"Thanks for voting for me, now please piss off" (the "business end" of a politician)
"I am holy, you are not; and this is the "BUSINESS END" of a vicar. Piss off."
