@georgetakei I'm not afraid of their side hustle I'm afraid when they are gutting programs that I need just to make it thru the month.

@georgetakei And when these side hustles donβt allow for small business to grow or compete fairly. Yeah, I agree.

@georgetakei In the 90's, everyone wore cheap Versace, Fendi, Gucci, and other logo covered tshirts and whatnot, to pretend they were somehow with the elite people who wear those brands' actually expensive items.
I think the celebs are riding that, and have actually overtaken that market.
Next comes it's part of the natural progression: Ivy Part by Beyonsee, Sausage x Fengy by Reeanna, C Label by Goon, Shrew House by Beeber, and so on.

@georgetakei Everyone needs a hobby. They can do what they want to be happy just like anyone else. But their wealth and income above a certain level, should be donated back to society, 100%. They have enough, they 'won' at the economic part of life, and now their succes can strengthen the society that offered them that opportunity, and help others live good lives as well. So no superyachts or private jets, but real contributions to a better world. #limitarianism

@georgetakei The problem isn't the side hustle; it's the people who hoard wealth. I'm reminded of Puff Daddy, who started "Sean John" clothing after he was already comfortably rich as a musician. He made clothes in sweatshops and sold them for $$$ in the US. That's pure greed, IMHO, but perhaps he is a bad example of this phenomenon because he seems to be a raging sociopath.

@georgetakei Every actor knows that as an actor you are itinerant labor. If you're poor, you need a side hustle to survive. If you're highly successful, you still need the side hustle to maintain your sanity! Her problem is she needs a side hustle.

@georgetakei Wealth is not a zero sum game. Access to capital lets people build things that create more wealth. If someone wants to build a side hustle, more power to them.

@georgetakei oh, i think she's right and if people read it. She differentiate what she means by a side hustle. I love her and if we had more people who thought like her, maybe the middle class wouldn't be shrinking.

When I think of side-hustles by rich folks, I think of folks that are actors or #bigCorp CEO pretending to know how to run a #democracy, or any #government for that matter, and failing;
Not folks that are using their skills in another gig in their field.

@georgetakei she's dead right. how much fucking money do you need you greedy bastards? how much more money do you need to extract from people who have far less than you? leech your rich friends and leave normal people alone.

@georgetakei We must all grow and protect our brand. Youβre nothing without one. Youβre not entirely human if you have one.

The attempt to fling the accusation of hypocrisy at Tina Fey, saying her doing commercials is a side hustle is a stretch that doesn't reach. Doing commercials is an acting gig. She's makes her living as an actor (and writer/producer). That's not a side hustle, it's what she does for a living.

@georgetakei I think people need to be aware of what a βside hustleβ actually is. I see a lot of commentary attempting to point out the hypocrisy in her statement, yet failing so hard. It is truly ironic.
Content Warning
@georgetakei well, a few thoughts:
1. I agree the whole concept is tacky.
2. It is hypocritical for Tina to say so.
3. But in the end, why do we as consumers buy the side hustles?

@georgetakei I honestly don't care if anyone has a side hustle. I truly don't care, and I don't understand why she would, either. π€·

@georgetakei I thought the side hustles were how a lot of them got rich and could afford to be actors.
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
