Why Isn't Socialism Working In Venezuela?
Because they hadn't thought of raising the minimum wage hike FOR A THIRD TIME this year. And THAT will be the silver bullet the ushers in a whole new world of Venezuelan economic and global dominance.

Captain's Plan B for Entrepreneurship
As I've alluded to before, if the truth business ever goes away or for whatever reason Amazon decides they're going to pay pennies on the dollar like YouTube, I will resort to completely unethical, but completely legal entrepreneurial ideas, predominantly in the industry of selling pretties lies to stupid people for a pretty profit.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about.
Think about your future career long and hard. Do you want to work hard telling people truth, holding them up to standards, and getting called every name in the book while making pennies, or be like the democrat party and make BILLIONS selling lies to the dupes and rubes?

The Hungerless Hunger Strike
Only leftist, academians could come up with something so utterly worthless and hypocritical.
The Left Values Their Ideology More Than Life Itself
Especially if it's yours.
The rest of the country better start waking up to the fact these people will drive the bus off the cliff and kill everybody with it. Specifically, the rest of the country better start drawing the line of letting immigrants in who have no intention of becoming Americans or working for a living. And they better grow a spine because they're going to be called all sorts of names that end with "ist" for daring to insist on the right to living and not being enslaved to a welfare-parasite class.
Oh wait!
That's right!
I don't have kids!
Never mind! Enjoy the decline!

ESPN Should Read Rollo Tomassi
Letting women invade and dictate male spaces is on the menu whether you like it or not.
IQ of College Students Dropping Like a Rock
I could do without the racial reference being unnecessarily forced in, but IQ has dropped a full standard deviation since the 1960's.
I often wonder why the college bubble continues on and how young kids just don't wake up and get it. Then I realize they are the epitome of normies, sheep, and idiots and Big Education is targeting them.

Why You Want Might to Reconsider Moving to Australia
Long ago, when John Howard was Prime Minister of Australia, I looked at Oz with a jealous eye. They had good economic growth, low unemployment, balanced budgets, low debts, and sun. A whooooole lot of sun.
But then I met Adam Piggott and I knew a report from an Agent in the Field was infinitely better than all the EIU, OECD, and IMF reports I'd read across the other side of the globe. Which is interesting, because the man is leaving Australia for Europe.
Definitely worth the read if Oz was on your list of Plan B's for America as it's turned into a 2nd world diversity affirmative action circus.
The essay is almost done and writing will return to a normal schedule soon.

The one thing missing from this, otherwise great, article is how debt ensures you guys all suffer HR ditzes, sadistic bosses, and with smiles on your faces.
Oh well, remember, Schmoopsie Muffins needs her Range Rover to impress the other soccer moms at the coffee store and your lil' Princess just "NEEDS" to go to that $250,000 a year liberal arts college.
It's all worth it.

Warm Fuzzy Story of the Day
Got a comment that deserved to be it's own post in response to "The Best Dating a Girl from Wyoming Story Ever Told."
Thank you for posting this. I went through the exact same bullshit with a hot, sexually talented, former cheerleader, raving fucking alcoholic I worked with. Her pattern was to show up at work drunk, get fired or quit in a huff, then latch onto a beta to live with while she " planned " her next move. I was that beta and did everything possible to keep her, including buying booze. The end came when she dumped me and went to live with a former boyfriend in California. The boyfriend died suddenly due to an overdose of methadone. She told me boyfriend was taking methadone for back pain? :-) :-) All of a sudden, she wanted me to fly her home and wanted to live with me, again. I had enough of this bullshit and told her " If you show up on my doorstep I will drive you to a family member's home and drop you off " She then moved in with her dead boyfriends best friend and convinced him to get engaged. She died suddenly at age 36, probably from liver failure. I went to the funeral and family members told me they had done everything to get her to quit drinking. Very sad as she was a highly talented writer and she killed herself and wasted her life.
My thoughts 16 years later? The sex was amazing but it was not worth the drama and upset. I am just glad I did not marry the flake or get AIDS.
Know this and know this well young men. The prettier a girl is, the easier the world has gone on her, to the point she is unable to support herself and only knows parasitism as a means to survival. But while so many get out of jail free cards seem to give these girls a life of luxury, in the end, it condemns them to a hellish existence once her attitude becomes unbearable or her looks fade.
There is equality, equilibrium, and justice in all things. You often times just don't see it.

You are a Fucking Idiot for Attending Law School
These liberal arts undergrads-turned law students are so stupid they're CRYING when in reality they should be thanking their lucky stars they're not going into debt anymore.
Teeeeeeaaacheeeeerrrsssss
They're just so great and wonderful and they love the children.
Perhaps a little too much.
But it's OK, because they're teeeeeeaaacheeeeerrrrsss, the most preciously wonderful people on the planet! And since they're leftists it's OK if they're child rapists and kidnappers.

Cover for the New Essay
Finally found the right font and layout I wanted for the new essay. Once again, a reminder that it is an ESSAY, not a book as it is only about 40-50 pages. Also, if you are already actively practicing minimalism and are aware of its benefits, this book will largely be a review, though a MUCH MORE THOROUGH application of using the love for your fellow man as a means by which to eliminate materialism in your life, and consequently therefore, drastically improving your finances. Ergo, if you are interested in the philosophy of what's most important in life, yes, you will want to read it. But if you've already attained this level of philosophy and understanding it will perhaps be merely entertaining.

The Best Dating a Girl from Wyoming Story Ever Told
Cynical Libertarian has a podcast out, a story of which he tells is an absolute must, not just for the entertainment value, but the lessons to learn for young boys chasing beauty and not much else. The story starts at 41:41 and unless you want your ire raised, I suggest you just skip ahead to that minute mark.

Why Millennial Girls Should Date Gen X Men
We're stronger.
We make more money.
We have established careers.
Oh...
And we don't live at home.
The irony is with every Millennial girl looking like Harley Quinn (and I don't mean that in a good way), I doubt any quality Gen X men are going to be up for the job of baby sitting and telling you to take that stupid ring out of your nose.
Oh well, enjoy the decline.

Broke Millennials Ordering $800 Bottle Service
Decided to crack down on the book and thusly have been spending many-a-late nights at various Perkins around St. Paul and not banging out stuff on the blog. Also March and April have been record-setting months for Asshole Consulting (which on Tax Day celebrated it's 3rd year in business), which has also been taking an inordinate amount of time.
In the meantime if you'd kindly tune into the Pushing Rubber Downhill podcast wherein your kind Aussie host, Adam Piggott, will regale you with a tale about broke Millennials ordering $800 bottle service he'd appreciate it.

How the Left Blew their Entire Racist Load
I have a Clandestine Agent in the Field, deeply embedded within the strongest stronghold of the American left - the public schools.
Though I won't say what s/he does or where s/he is, s/he said something the other day that gave me, even the ole pessimistic, Enjoy the Decline, Cappy, a bit of genuine hope and optimism.
"They're not swallowing it anymore. They're not believing all this privilege and racist stuff."
When I pressed my agent for more information, s/he continue to explain that the left through their most ardent of acolytes - teachers - were so uniform, so omnipresent, so overbearing with the "white privilege," "racism," "sexism," 31 flavors of gender, that the kids (dumb as they might be) not only DON'T believe any of it, but are now mocking it and ridiculing it, much like Gen Xer's do today.
This gave me hope, and I think it should you too, on many levels.
One, in watching my and the Millennial generation of kids just swallow whole what tripe their teachers forced down their throats, I was sure these Gen Z'ers would prove no different. Everybody showed how independent they were by regurgitating the same talking points as their teachers. Everybody would show how independent minded they were by wearing salmon color jeans, perfectly groomed hair, piercing their noses and getting tattoos. Everybody I knew voted Bill Clinton and went for the whole grunge thing. And every Millennial is, well, just an amazing case study of conformity and sheeple behavior. Why would Gen Z be any different?
While I still think Gen Z will succumb to the all-too-tempting offer of free everything from the left, the fact they're consciously identifying this racist/sexist propaganda for what it is - propaganda - AND making fun of it, means the teacher-left overplayed their hand on this one. Not only does calling whites and males sexist and racist at the age of 10 immediately piss young kids off, it's too much and just so blatantly wrong the kids in a very South Parkian manner know the adults don't know jack. So now, instead of getting whites and males to cower in fear of the accusation of racism or sexism like Millennials or Gen X'ers, you have an entire generation that scoffs at it and dismisses it.
Two, it's not just white and male students who make fun of this leftist lie that everybody is a racist or sexism, but minorities and females too. This proves doubly troublesome for the left because not only have they lost the ability to shame whites and males into voting for reparative socialist policies, but they are losing an entire generation of female and non-white crops (and that's PRECISELY how they look at children) for future votes. Again, it's a mere spring-time sprout, but the fact that black and white, hispanic and asian, male and female students are getting together and uniting over the idiocy of their leftist teachers' indoctrination, not only means this tool of the left is no longer effective, but simple adult behavior is uniting races than any race whoring or sexist mongering the left purposely forced on society.
Three, what would the left do without their vital tools of racism and sexism? Imagine the left without these two vital tools at their disposal. While after 20 years of a consistent cacophony of brainwashing from academia, media, and government, and 8 years of intensive anti-white and anti-male bigotry under the Obama administration, what if you imbued the American population with it so much, they built up a tolerance to it rendering them immune and vaccinated against it?
Right now it is laughable how the scaredy cat, spineless Gen X'ers, Baby Boomers, and Millennials will jump at the mere potential chance somebody maybe might accuse them of being a racist. The left was COMPLETELY successful in getting three whole generations to see everything as race or sex, making them putty in their hands. But now, if what my Agent in the Field reports is true and universal across US schools, the left will have to go back to mere class warfare and global warming since they overplayed their race/sex whore hand.
Again, I still think the US is in terminal decline. Too many stupid people have been bred, and too many leftist sheep trained that one mere generation is not going to turn this country around. It does, however, give me hope that a generation is on deck that may not have to live with the nation wide mental illness that the rest of the country has been infected with and had to live with these past 30 years. Imagine if an entire generation grew up much like you and your friends did in the 80's with no consideration of race or sex. Imagine if through simple genetic programmed self respect and self survival you knew when the adults were evil lying sacks of shit. Imagine, if the group of friends you have today, which no doubt includes non-whites and women, where you guys can be completely open with each other and give each other ribibngs over your races and genders, is already embedded into Gen Z'ers today because they needed to unite against evil teachers with an agenda. Instead of being like ESPN and masturbating over race everyday, kids today will actually enjoy watching the sport. What would it be like to go an entire day, week, even year, without being lectured about race, sex, or gender because it truly doesn't matter?
Gen Z MAY be at that point, thanks to leftist teachers' overzealous forced feeding of hatred, sexism, and racism. And like chicken pox, these kids may be vaccinated against this mental disorder of "Ist and Ism Fever" forever.

But Who Would Want to Work for The New York Times?
No, seriously, who? Because you can make more just running your own channel. Heck, just use them as a platform to get a critical mass of followers and then strike out on your own. Let them pay for those expensive buildings and the rents of their employees while you can just work from the comfort of your own home in Springfield, Illinois for a fraction of the cost.

The Week of Hell
Howdy all, couple items,
1 - I got a deluge of Asshole Consulting requests. So many in fact, I may have to wake up before...
930AM!
I know, I know, I don't know what kind of country this is where you have to wake up before noon AND work 8 WHOLE HOURS A DAY, but apparently this is what electing Trump has gotten us.
Regardless, the podcast may be a bit late as will posts.
2. High quality posts are being relegated to one a week because I'm also trying to finish my essay about revolutionizing the retirement system. This, combined with the increase in Asshole Consulting has (in all honesty) pushed me over 60 hours a week. Still, I have a growing collection of high quality posts accumulating, but will get to those after I get through this glut of work.
3. I have inquired with several people about writing original pieces in my stead, notably a person of great intellect and writing ability who shall go unnamed. Let's just say his last name starts with a "B" and ends with "echtloff." Rumor has it he has a lot of free time, so hopefully he'll write something this week. ;P
4. To top this all off, I've been experimenting with different platforms as a potential replacement for YouTube. This week we will be using Daily Motion, but for all points and purposes, it sucks. Certainly some pros and cons, but I'll be detailing my experiences with all the platforms in a much more detailed analysis-post/video.
5. They've updated my Praxey site in case anybody needed to get in contact with me for "Emergency Asshole Consulting." Couple people were inquiring, but yes, it is up and running. You just need to install the app.
Anyway, thanks for your patience. Cappy will return to regularly scheduled programming soon enough.

This Week's Asshole Consulting Videos Will Be on Daily Motion
The Video Platform Wars continue as I have to abandon Vid.me because:
1. You can only upload videos shorter than 30 minutes.
2. You have a 2 GB per week limit and
3. My application for verification got rejected
Alas, the experiment and hunt for a new video platform to potentially replace YouTube continues as this week's Asshole Consulting videos will be posted on my Daily Motion channel.

Why College and Weddings Are Economically Identical
Why is it so hard for millennials NOT to go to college?
With college tuition being literally unaffordable, stories after stories about the plight of un/underemployed college graduates, horror stories of the same with crippling student loans, and it no longer being a secret that college is a bubble, why is it so hard for 18 year olds to say, "screw this, I'm going home?"
Furthermore, why MORE SCHOOL? Didn't these millennials have enough? Aren't they SICK of school? Why are they willingly signing up by the millions for 4 years more? And they get to pay for it this time! Wouldn't you be RELIEVED you no longer have to go to college? Shouldn't you be happy this HUGE added responsibility is no longer needed? Shouldn't it be an easy decision NOT to go, and instead go find a job instead?
Yet still, there the lemmings are, lining up by the millions for their turn to jump to their financial deaths and ruin their lives.
But why? WHY?
And I finally figured it out.
The problem was, as is often the case, I was operating from a wrong premise. I was operating from the premise that the point of college, college's true economic nature was that of education. People go to college, pay for tuition, and attend classes so that they receive an education which allows them to make more money over the course of their lives. But whereas this was certainly the case before, it no longer is now, and I consciously knew this at some level because in the past I've said students treat college as a consumption good, not an investment.
Still, while I knew college was no longer an investment good, this did not explain the unique consumption good behavior of millions of college students every year. Nor did it explain the insane prices students would be willing to pay and go into debt for. Ergo, college wasn't some kind of fad consumption good like Pokemon trading cards or Beanie Babies where you'd drop maybe at most a couple hundred dollars on. It was something more. It was TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, 4 YEARS of their youth, MIND NUMBING CLASSES, for the past TWO GENERATIONS, all in the face of mounting evidence college was a losing financial proposition. And then I asked myself a question that sent my brain down the path that would inevitably led me to discover it's true modern day economic nature.
What other consumption goods have these traits? What things in the world do people:
1. Spend 4 years of their lives investing/working on/preparing for?
2. Go into debt to pay for?
3. That have price tags from mid five-to-low-six-figures?
4. That also have a fad-like, lemming-like, sheeple like conformity about it?
and this was the key trait
5. And are pushed by all of society to purchase?
At first I was thinking sporting events. Those are consumption goods. Thousands of Minnesota's dumbest pay $100 a ticket and $100 in food and $25 in parking to see the Minnesota Vikings lose every year. They probably put it on their credit card. But it isn't a $75,000 price tag.
Then I was thinking larger sporting events, perhaps even once in a lifetime religious-like events. Say the Super Bowl, Burning Man, Sturgis, the declaration of a new pope, or pilgrimages to Mecca. Still, you may prepare years to attend, but even attending these events in luxury does not cost $100,000.
So what possible consumer good exists, that people can't afford, will go into debt for, that doesn't offer anything of tangible financial value afterwards, and has this societal push, borderline obssession to buy it regardless?
Then it hit me.
Weddings.
Weddings are the identical twin sibling of college.
The reason why can be summarized in one simple phrase:
"It's my day."
However, whereas "my day" is the exclusive preserve of women on their wedding day, there is a similar sense of entitlement to having "my day" FOR BOTH SEXES when it comes to college. And the reason why is that college is NOT sold to young kids today as the education it was supposed to be, but the "college experience" it is has successfully and falsely been propagated and inflated to what it is now (an industry that is more than TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF THE WEDDING INDUSTRY).
First, there is a HUUUUUGE element of Exodus and liberation philosophy and psychology that simply CAN NOT be understated. K-12 school SUCKS. IT SUUUUUUUCKS. It is so bad and so torturous that it sucks the life out of normal students and is a veritable mental prison for high IQ students. An entire artificial environment children are forced to attend that is managed and operated by the country's dumbest college graduates. This environment results in a place that at best is a prison for college-bound students, but usually is pure torture as we prevent kids (of all intelligence levels) from achieving their best. NOBODY is happy. NOBODY like their pathetic sad saps called teachers. And everybody cannot wait to leave.
However, the hope that is sold to college-bound students is that "college" is where the REAL smart people are. That when you get to "college" everything will be better. That when you go to "college" all this pain and misery will end and you will TRULY find "your people."
In short, because K-12 is so bad, college becomes a veritable second heaven, a Land of Canaan, a birthright that all intelligent kids are entitled to for enduring the hell of K-12. And because they are so young, and because they have not lived in the real world, AND BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO HOPE FOR, college is not a means to an education and a better job, but the finish line to freedom and happiness. And that freedom and end to their slavery GREATLY outshines the purported educational benefits of college.
Second, nearly all authority figures lie, both consciously and unconsciously, to children about the realities of college. Parents lie to their children because they don't want to hurt their feelings or destroy their children's doomed hope. Teachers don't want to tell their students because...well...they're teachers and they NEVER LEFT the artificial environment of school. For all they know school is great and the entire economy's GDP should be "teachers." The media has no incentive to tell kids the truth about college because they need to sell good and being the bearer of bad news is poor salesmanship. Corporations CERTAINLY have no incentive to tell kids the truth because they need those kids to not only borrow $100,000 to do the training that would otherwise befall on corporate training programs, but they need students desperately in debt so they make good, loyal
The exact same cacophonous brainwashing occurs with weddings.
Nearly every economic entity has the incentive to get people hitched. Corporations, travel agencies, airlines, the government, divorce lawyers, divorce courts, day care, child care, the schools, nurseries, credit companies, pastors, priests, rabbis, imams, parents who want grandchildren, and siblings who want nephews, everybody wants to push people into marriage. Furthermore, EVERYBODY lies to women that the most important day in their life will be their wedding day. Thinking they're entitled to "their day" just like kids are entitled to the "college experience," nobody, and I mean NOBODY is going to tell them any different. GOD HIMSELF could come down from the heavens above and tell the bride to be "no, dude, this ain't the guy for you," just as the entire COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS could come out and tell all high school seniors not to go to college, it would not matter, women are going to have their day and millennials are going to borrow $100,000 to have the college experience.
And then finally, the price. To have this birthright, to have this entitlement, nobody cares about logic, reason, evidence, finances, or math. College, just like "her day," is worth any price because up to this point in these kids' lives, we as a society have given them nothing else to live for. We get divorced, we mock nuclear families, we value things over friends, we cripple the economy, we load up on debt, we hate our own country, we criminalize success - precisely, what do these kids have to look forward to after they graduate from college? As far as they're concerned life is over at 22 and then they lead the lives you do, which, sadly, for the most part is pretty pathetic in their eyes. Worse, you've made their childhoods so painful with the craptastic public
Alas, it should be no shock that college is no longer acting economically like the educational service it was meant to be. It is one, big, huge ass party. A birthright to all American teenagers. A utopia society falsely sold it as. And sadly, a lie bigger than telling American women "their day" is the most important day in their lives. It is the "college experience." And there's some Dotcom's from 1999 that have infinitely more value.

The Economics of Catholic Subsidiarity
New sponsor and one that I think will pique the interests of a more than average amount of Cappy Cappites - The Economics of Catholic Subsidiarity.
I'll post the book description below, but it makes the argument/case for free market principles of economics within the Catholic church and Catholicism. He also takes a swipe at the leftist politics infecting the church, most notably that fake pope you guys have posing in the Vatican (I don't actually know, I just like ripping apart your communist pope). Regardless, it is available on Amazon.
I may actually read the damn thing because I enjoy watching people square the cold, harsh, realities of economics with human idealism in the form of religion. I'll admit I've lost a bit of my soul not really caring what happens to the future of the world and gone down more of a route of stoicism. So I do tip my hat to the men and women who still adhere to a moral code, such as religion, and go the extra step to make cogent arguments as to how it parlays and functions within the cold, hard world of economics. Regardless consider purchasing a copy or two.
Description:
"This book starts with basic philosophical principles coupled with relevant Papal Encyclicals to arrive at a free market economics the Catholic Church has historically labeled Subsidiarity. A must read for Catholics tired of the socialism and Liberation Theology heard preached from the pulpit and read about in "Catholic" media. The quotes from the Papal Encyclicals alone are worth the price of the book."

New York's Free Tuition Devil in the Details
Apparently you can't just leave New York after getting your free tuition. You are apparently the state's bitch for 4 years.
The good news, for leftist New York and the rest of the country, is they are about to be educating the most worthless, unintelligent generation of New York children who are going to be choosing worthless degrees. This will not only cost New York taxpayers a hefty penny, but it will cost them additional monies as this army of unemployable liberal arts majors are guaranteed to drive up their welfare and unemployment costs. THis will not only make New York crappier than it already is, but punish a much-deserving blue state with it's own idiotic leftist policies.
Alas "Escape from New York" is more relevant than ever.

Diversifying Out of YouTube
Inevitably you knew the day would come and that day is more or less here - time to diversity out and away from YouTube.
Starting this week I will be experimenting with having my Asshole Consulting (and original) videos put on two new platforms. Dailymotion and Vidme.
My Vidme channel you can find here and my Dailymotion channel you can find here.
To be honest I do not know which one I will go with next, but that is the reason for the experimental phase. Already I like the Vidme layout and user friendliness more, and it already blows away DailyMotion in terms of upload capacities and speed. Though, as you know, it will take time to see which platform is best.
Still, if you would be kind enough to subscribe to me on both platforms if you happen to have an account with them yourself, that would not only be great, but also necessary as I think both require a certain following before they allow you to monetize your channel.
Also, this week ALL Asshole Consulting videos will be done on Vidme, so if you want to tune in, do NOT go to YouTube. Go to my Vidme channel.
Many thanks,
Cappy

You Can Visually Identify Male Weakness
"Johnathan McAloon!"
"Johnathan McAloon!"
That's all Adam Piggott (of Pushing Rubber Downhill fame) was saying on one of his latest podcasts. Only problem was I was driving and couldn't see what this "Johnathan McAloon" character looked like. And this was important because Adam's entire point was this "Johnathan McAloon" was your typical leftist, wanna-be journalist who wrote for the Guardian and the like, and he was speculating what the fellow looked like. Sure enough, he found out and surprise, surprise, Adam was right. "Johnathan McAloon" is indeed your typical wimpy, limp-wristed, hipster, testosterone deprived, looking leftist who still finds it his place to write articles on masculinity.
But then I took a gander at the next post on Adam's site and it's a bit about a hyphenated named couple on some cooking show where the husband has a perfectly coiffed beard and is essentially (like the name) submitting to his wife. It's painful enough to read Piggott's article, I doubt I could tolerate watching the actual show.
Regardless, the point is be it an androgynous Guardian millennial writer or the perfectlycastrated groomed hipster husband, anybody with sight can visual identify masculinity. However, the real issue is whether you have a truly (and increasingly rare) independent minded brain to acknowledge this. If you wish to choose to go down the road your K-college indoctrinators programmed you to, you'll immediately upchuck the same parroted lines of "well you never know, that hypenated named fella could be really strong!!!" or "that's not nice." But if you're, once again, independent minded you'll accurately assess these people for who they are, and this is important, because then you will understand them even though they (and most of politically correct society) will claim otherwise.
For example when I see the girl with half a shaved head and the other half dyed purple, with multiple piercings and tattoos I am "brave enough" to simply deduce and acknowledge the truth - she is not somebody I want to have anything to do with. She has no value to me socially, intellectually, romantically, sexually, financially, or in terms of employment.
You can say that's prejudice, you can say that's discrimination, and you are 100% right. But I don't give a fuck. I too am also 100% right and I'm not going to even waste a second of my time giving her the benefit of the doubt because it will simply cost me my time, money, resources, and sanity.
Or say there is a fat, loser VirginTOW who's hiding behind some avatar on the internet as he spews his "wisdom" about girls and how he could totally nail them all, but chooses not too. Again, I don't have to waste a second of my time believing that person because of political correctness or politeness. The empirical evidence moots whatever forced premises of "open mindedness" and "understanding" the thought police have forced on society.
So when it comes to taking in the entirety of today's western male population, especially if they're speaking from platforms about public issues, you absolutely have every right to judge these books by their covers, because their covers don't lie.
Skinny, wimpy millennial boys writing about how they're feminists AREN'T MEN AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A MAN SO DON'T LISTEN TO THEM.
Sad, pathetic, salmon-jean-wearing, bearded hipsters are not only NOT MEN, they are also NOT INDEPENDENT MINDED. THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF CONFORMISTS.
And if you have some skinny, effeminate, pony-tail wearing, middle aged male professor, media personality, journalist, "social science expert," or some other form of faux authority figure telling you what women want, look at them;
And then look at Steve McQueen:
And then ask which one, despite all your K-college feminist brainwashing you were given, women are going to want to have something to do with.
The point is very simple and very important especially for Millennial and Gen Z boys. There is a CONSCIOUS and PURPOSEFUL effort to eliminate masculinity from men. It benefits no one, be it men or women. And no matter how much they tell you the pretty lies you want to believe:
"Girls like you for you."
"Girls like a sensitive caring man."
"Girls like feminist men who vote democrat."
"You don't need to hit the gym."
They're all lies that will ruin your life, and deep down inside you know it, because truthfully, you're just a lazy fuck who doesn't want to put in the hard work at the gym.
Knock it the fuck off.
Start being men.
And you can start by not listening to the emasculated wimps who visually lack any masculinity.

You can also improve your pathetic self by buying some of my books. Trust me, one page from one of my books is infinitely better than the decades of bullshit you've been fed by feminist professors and all-female public school teachers.

You May Now Directly Contact the Captain
Got a new sponsor and service I will be rolling out. It's called "Praxey" and was started by a libertarian, entrepreneur, the technology of which I think has great potential.
In short it allows you to contact experts, celebrities, or anybody else who has Praxey installed on their phone. It's like Facetime or Skype for your phone, but allows you to charge for/pay for expertise. So for example if you are a computer repair guy, THIS IS A MUST because now you can offer your services across the planet and trouble shoot people's problems, get paid, and not have to travel to the site. For me it allows for "emergency Asshole Consulting" if you have a question or problem and do not have the time (or patience) to send me a request through Asshole Consulting. And though it may be uncomfortable to think about this, pretty girls can basically charge the millions of desperate, thirsty men to chat with them over their phones now.
I'm under "AssholeConsulting" on Praxey, but regardless, I strongly recommend you install the app. You can certainly visit the Praxey site, but it is predominantly a phone based technology, so you will have to download it through your Google or iPhone store.

You Will No Longer Be Able to Make a Living Off of YouTube or Amazon Affiliate
Last week the content creator community of YouTube went into full sperg mode when they found out YouTube was demonetizing their videos, among other things such as throttling traffic, taking away subscribers, and other behind the scenes digital media hanky panky. Amazon affiliates were also treated to similar news as they heard Amazon was lowering the commission they'd make from around 6% to 2-5% on various products. But regardless of which company was doing what, the result was the same - it was increasingly harder, if not impossible, for people to make a living on YouTube or Amazon affiliate.
Naturally, taking away someone's livelihood, especially one as easy, fun, and passionate as being a YouTube celebrity or an Amazon affiliate salesman, is a huge blow. Amazon and YouTube have served as a godsend to many people during the non-recovery from the Great Recession, not to mention provided some much-needed income to impoverished Millennials battled their way out of worthless-degree student loan debt. But as bad news as this is for the thousands, likely, millions of people who derive some kind of income from this new economy, there's some vital economic lessons to learn from this "YouTube/Amazon" bubble bursting. Because if you don't learn these vital economic lessons, you're life is going to be infinitely worse going forward.
First, understand the days of making a living on YouTube or Amazon's affiliate program was a bubble. Just like the Bakken oil field, just like the gold rush of 1849, just like the Dotcom bubble, there was the boom and then the bust. The good days are OVER. You may not like this fact, but it's reality. This new digital economy is not immune to the natural forces and laws of economics that all of human history has been subjected to, so you must come to grips with reality and accept this.
Closely related, second, stop being a teacher or government worker. A disproportionate number of YouTube content creators and Amazon affiliates are younger people, either inexperienced or ignorant about the real working world. And because they were brought up under a K-college environment where everything "should" be a certain way, they have delusional expectations that YouTube and Amazon would/should be providing this income opportunity for them forever.
You know who else thinks that delusionally?
Teachers and government workers.
Hailing from the private sector where the economy is allowed to evolve, advance, and jettison obsoleted parts of itself, I'm always amazed at how government workers, especially teachers, think they're entitled to life long employment. Like a toll worker on Chicago's interstate system, they think they're entitled to hold up the rest of society just so they can keep a job. And whereas there are some arguments for civil service jobs to be somewhat permanent because of their different nature to private sector jobs, YOUTUBE CONTENT CREATION AND AMAZON AFFILIATES ARE NOT THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
Amazon, and especially YouTube, are responding to changes in the economy so that they may (in YouTube's case) remain profitable and thus in business. Matter of fact, if you bothered to look at their income statements (they are available) both YouTube and Amazon operate on negative/razor thin margins. In other words, this current business model was not sustainable. And while I know your diversity studies professor, who has no real world working experience, may blame this on "the evil privileged white male corporations maaaan" the reality is you should be happy you had the chance to make money when you did.
Third, Amazon and YouTube are monopolies. And if you paid attention in your economics 101 class (while again, your professor who had no real world experience, probably told you how things "should" be and you're all entitled to free everything), you would know that, like it or not, the world is the monopolies' bitch.
Don't like the fact oil prices are going up? Too bad, talk to the OPEC monopoly.
Don't like the fact MS Office costs $300? Too bad, talk to Microsoft.
Don't like the fact YouTube is the critical mass source of videos? Too bad, go to Dailymotion.
In other words, since YouTube and Amazon are monopolies they can literally do whatever they want because you have no other option. The real issue is whether you're going to accept this and realize it.
You can protest, argue, write letters, and make all the videos in the world, but none of that changes the fact YouTube and Amazon have all the power in this relationship. And if you don't realize that, you're going to waste more time trying to change the inevitable, which is wasting precious time, energy, and resources you don't have. This leads to...
Fourth, did you monetize your site? Did you build a business or some kind of independent revenue stream from this success? Heck, did you save your money during these 7 years of feast in preparation for the 7 years of famine? I've detailed this in a video I did before about how you can sell ads directly on your own channel without YouTube's permission. I also built up an independent empire called "Asshole Consulting" where I merely use YouTube as a tool to consult, not as a means to make ad revenue, meaning I don't care if my videos get demonetized. The larger point is I came up with a Plan B, diversified and leveraged what modicum of YouTube micro-internet celebrityship I had into alternative revenue sources, and more or less inoculated myself against the monopolistic whims of these two companies.
But let's be perfectly honest. Do the majority of these new internet income makers have this level of entrepreneurial hustle and business acumen? Most, though not all, of these people fell into this. They stumbled upon this digital gold either finding out they had a voice that was popular among social media or just had a knack for making content. And much like Bakken oilfield workers pissed away their money on $70,000 Dodge heavy duty diesel trucks, these new digital boom town workers did the same. Johnathan McIntosh, known most primarily for being Anita Sarkeesian's boyfriend, has twice the internet following I do, but apparently can't find a job... but still desperately holds onto the hope he'll make money doing videos. The Amazing Atheist, who at least diversified into a successful $10k per month Patreon e-begging racket and A MILLION FOLLOWERS, is freaking out. If there's any bit of proof that this was a classical bubble and people's success was accidental, it would be the sheer number of leftists who made serious capitalistic bank on this bubble while not being the slightest bit hip or couth to free market economics.
The larger lesson is now that the good times are over, how are you going to react to it? Are you going to accept it, live in reality, and move on? Are you going to accept your YouTube girlfriend dumped you and wants nothing to do with you any more? Are you going to acknowledge and realize fighting against this is stupid, pointless and futile? AND are you going to learn your lesson for the next time there's another Amazon, Bakken, gold rush, or Dotcom boom and save your money?
This is the first real world test for a lot of Millennials who had a (great and fun) first time experience romping around with real world economics. You may have squandered your opportunity this time around, but learning from it will ensure you capitalize on the next opportunity....if one ever presents itself...because let's be honest, these bubbles are once in a life time opportunities.
Enjoy the decline!

For Your Late Night Listening Pleasure
It is, of course horrible that Chris Bechtloff had to put his dog down only to find out that same day he would be laid off from his job. However, it is good to see him channeling his freetime and energies towards productive means by churning out more podcasts. Stop by his channel and help the man out with some traffic.
I Want Safe Bridges, Not Affirmative Action Engineers, Thank You
Yep, you women are equal, and not just equal, you're the exact same as men. It's why we keep having to lower the standards for you.
It's all going to be fun and games when bridges start collapsing and trains derail, killing hundreds, perhaps thousands because we couldn't hurt little Suzie's feelings about reality, physics, and math. You see, when we lower standards for the liberal arts and social work and government work, we only destroy and ruin nuclear families. But when you enter the physical sciences and insist black is white, and 2+2=5, now there will be death because your feelings are more important than reality.

And Some Women DO Realize Their Economic Value
Related to my previous post about "The Sad Truth About Women's Economic Value," it seems some young women are requiring they get paid first before talking to you on Tinder (and no doubt other apps).
Well played pretty young girls. Well played indeed.

Never Attend Purdue University's School of Engineering
It's now headed up by a worthless affirmative action hire that won't teach you what you need to know, and will make you a poorer engineer than schools that just focus on (of I don't know) fucking engineering???

New Sponsor - Glimmer Vale
New sponsor for those of you who enjoy fantasy fiction, mixed with a little western feel:
Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Michael Kingswood presents Glimmer Vale, a sword and sorcery adventure with a western feel, the first book in the Glimmer Vale Chronicles.
Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook are two swordsmen on the run from their past. When they stop in Lydelton, a small fishing town in the remote valley called Glimmer Vale, they find the town besieged by a ruthless band of brigands. Worse, the brigands have taken up station in the mountain passes, blocking the two friends' escape. With no way around the brigands and no option of returning the way they came, Julian and Raedrick accept an offer of employment. Their mission: defeat the brigands and restore peace to Glimmer Vale.
They are outnumbered at least twenty to one, long odds even if they recruit help. But that help may not be enough when the specter of their past rears its head, forcing Julian and Raedrick to openly face what they are fleeing or risk losing not just their freedom but the lives and fortunes of Lydelton's inhabitants.

We've made great strides in the last few years, but marketing is the backbone of every organization and ours is not an exception.
As Aaron has already explained to you on previous occasions, this
is not a formal job, nor is it an especially glamorous gig. Yet, the
catch just could not be any simpler. You can supplement your income a
great deal with rather minimal effort.
Here is how this works. Most students are now panicky about their final exams and major projects that are due at the end of the semester, which is a month from now. Between now and the first week of May, the average college student will have to hand in several writing projects that will culminate in the final paper that's 10-20 pages long.

Even students who are working professionals dread this time of the
month and college kids are going to be desperately pleading for our
help.
That's why this is the ideal time for you to capitalize on this opportunity. We will pay you five dollars for each lead and all you need to do is follow these three basic instructions.

- Set up a new gmail account with your initials in it
- Edit the forwarding features to ensure that all incoming emails are re-directed to Aleksey.Bashtavenko@gmail.com
- Use that new gmail account to set up a craigslist account
In
total, it will take you no more than five minutes to get all set up and
we'll send you ads to post. Then, at the end of each week, you can just
email us an account of all the
leads you've generated. We'll then submitted a PayPal payment for your
work where you will earn $5 for each lead you'd generate.
At this time of the year, most marketers can generate around ten leads a week, but if you manage to do even better than that, a bonus will follow. In the worst case scenario, there is even base pay.
The set-up process could not be any easier and you can begin bringing in revenue by offering very little of your time to us.

The Sad Truth About Women's Economic Value
It was with much ballyhoo (and a wink and a nod) that the world passed around the story about VietJet, an airline that is going to make Vietnam's first female private sector billionaire. Ms. Nguyen Thoa, the founder and majority owner of VietJet, has a very impressive background making her first million at 21 selling rubber and fax machines. However, the reason for the global wink and a nod is a service the baby boomer generation made sure to get rid of from American-based airlines long ago.
Young pretty women.
Not only has VietJet reintroduced young, pretty women into the aviation world, they also have them scantily clad in bikini's, heels, and lingerie. And degrading and disgusting as many feminists, even non-feminist western women may find this, the reality is the free market has rewarded Ms. Thoa's airline with a $1 billion valuation.
However, while this story may ruffle the feathers of a few prudes and get a couple discreet smirks from the few men in the world with red blood, there's a very valuable economic lesson here that all women, but especially western one's need to learn. And that is what determines their economic value.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, and the reason I'll do so is because it's true, but the most valuable commodity in the world is not oil or gold, silver or diamonds, copper or plutonium. The most valuable commodity in the world is female youth and beauty. And the reason why is very simple.
Because it's true.
No other commodity in the world is in as high of demand as female youth and beauty. And the reason why is that half the world's population (the would be men) demand it. And not only do they demand it, they demand it highly. They demand it so much that they built civilization to
In short, women hands down, have ownership and agency over the world's most demanded commodity, and Ms. Thoa's VietJet airline is just another bit of empirical data to prove it.
It is here women really need to stop themselves from defaulting into their preprogrammed state of thinking, going on a tirade about how women are not objects, and there's more to women than beauty, and beauty is a social construct, etc. etc. They need to view this from a purely economic, empirical, and clinical point of view that I'm trying to make, otherwise the vital economic lessons that lay within will be lost on them and it will be their loss. Regardless, whether you like this fact or not does not matter. It is a fact. Half the population (that would be men again) demands and will pay a pretty penny for female youth and beauty. And there's really nothing you can do about it.
This presents women a paradox. There is what they may want to do or become when they get older and then there's what the world is willing to pay them for. Men largely don't face this problem because our youth and beauty is nowhere near pursued or in demand as women's, but because there is such demand by men for women's looks and beauty AND men produce the vast majority of economic production in the world, whatever other skills, talents, desires, and ambitions a woman has, there just isn't going to be as much demand for them compared to youth and beauty.
For example Cindy Crawford was originally a chemistry major until she became...well...Cindy Crawford.
Hedy Lamarr (an actress from the 40's) was not only a stunner, but also a scientist on the side.
But both were neither known for their STEM backgrounds and were much more highly compensated for their looks.
The key thing for women to realize, however, is that this is not an "either or" decision. Choosing to major in electrical engineering or going on to become a computer scientist does not mean you must forego modeling, acting, or simply benefiting from female beauty, and vice versa. Being the most demanded commodity in the history of the world is an added bonus and additional choice conferred upon pretty, young women in addition to the same career choices men have.
There's just one problem
The majority of women choose neither.
Based on declared college majors and a simple walk in the public, the majority of women are neither majoring in STEM nor maintaining their beauty. They are instead opting to major in the liberal arts and eschewing the gym, neither of which are in demand in the real world. And the reason why is very simple. Hitting the gym and studying math is hard.
To maintain your physical beauty you have to diet, eat right, run, work out and exercise. Additionally for women they must comport themselves accordingly, wear the right fashion, all of which is an effective and taxing part time job.
To get a successful career you have to offer society a valuable skill most people do not have. This is done by mastering difficult and boring subjects, subjects that most people are not going to tackle. And most western women aren't doing that either.
You may find this insulting, you may find this offensive, but the real world of economics does not care about your feelings or what you'd like. The real world demands engineers, computer programmers, doctors, accountants, plumbers, and electricians. And if you happen to be female you have the additional option of translating your youth and beauty into money. The only other option is what nearly 75% of women choose and that is to pursue fields where they need to beg, plead, and pull teeth to get funding. So whereas Intel will willingly pay a female computer science graduate $80,000 a year for a job in Silicon Valley, or a rich husband will willingly set up a beautiful woman for life, the ugly women's studies or communications major has to literally go begging to non-profits for charity or lobby the government to force taxpayers to pay for their pointless career that nobody ever demanded and does nothing to benefit the world.
Now I know the immediate response on the part of many women in the western world and most of them on the left will be to point out that this is why we need to change men's perception of women. That we need to re-program men to not view women as sex objects and to shame it out of existence. But here is the problem with that.
Do not men have the right to like what they like? Are they not allowed to be free to have tastes and preferences?
The problem in thinking there's something wrong with men for being attracted to female youth and beauty (as they have been since time immemorial) is that it is women forcing their desires on other people. It is telling them, nay, demanding others want what they want them to want. Not what the individual wants. And you can call it whatever euphemistic phrase academia has concocted to make it sound valid, good, and noble, but when you boil it down, it's nothing more than rank tyranny. Refusing to accept people's opinions, even if it is whether they want to hire you, date you, marry you, have sex with you, or have an opinion about you, and daring to force them to think otherwise is not only tyrannical, but delusional.
But the real issue here is simply one of sanity. Do women want to live in reality?
The reality is that the world demands STEM type majors. Not the touchy feely malarkey that passes for the liberal arts. And if you don't like that, women (unlike men) have a fortunate alternative option. An enviable "Plan B." You can use your looks and youth to score a husband, resources, a career, and other financial advantages men simply can't. Beyond that, there are no other options. And no matter how much you fight it, claim there's a "Plan C," or simply write this off as "misogyny," your 50 years of cute feminist theory is not going to undo 2 million years of human evolution. This is the real world. This is reality. This is why Ms. Thao is infinitely richer than all the world's women's studies professors combined (and probably much happier too).
I suggest while you're here on the planet you live in the real world. It will not only prove more profitable and close the wage gap, but you'll live a happier life as well. Otherwise you can look forward to living a happy and fulfilled life just like all those aged, dying, and lonely 1970's feminists, perhaps the pinnacle of which would be Hillary Clinton.
