psilocybin mushrooms are the safest, most consistently profitable drug you can sell.

>first, let's get the obvious out of the way: everyone already knows how to get grass; your status as a useless member of society becomes even clearer when you put on the weed-man hat. the mj market is saturated like a bud dipped in hash oil, so there's a very good chance that some smooth-ass puka-bead in your vicinity sells better shit for the lo-lo.

>"harder" drugs will get you more profit than weed or mushrooms (before you get caught), but with that profit comes a huge increase in the amount of risk you've already decided to take. some bumps in the road you may stumble upon:
>being at least partially responsible for death, injury, addiction, trauma, and little colombian kids getting shot in the face
>getting robbed at gun/knifepoint by shitty people
>getting robbed at gunpoint by the shitty government
>getting high off your own supply and becoming an addict
>losing the source of your supply
>constant paranoia as both a cause and effect of success
>constant bullshit from customers whether you're successful or not
>jail
>prison
>incarceration
>the long dick of the law

>if you don't know degree-level chemistry, everything else that isn't mushrooms has the hidden caveat of you not being the producer. when you don't grow your own shit, you're in the uniquely ass-chafing scenario of supplier dependency, which means less money and more risk across the board.

What would happen if governments made inheritance illegal?

What if, say, instead of paying taxes, governments took everything from you after you died?

Wouldn't this be much more just, socially speaking?

now this might be an odd question but I'm hoping someone in banking or a coin collector might be able to give me an answer

I run a buisiness and I took out two grand AUS, when I got home I re-counted and checked the bills, and I found one has an odd marking
>pic related

it seems actually stamped into the note, there is another on the other side of the note too, same mark but upside-down

I've got no idea what it is, and I can't find any answers online either

I would just ask my bank, but I'd like to know what I've got my hands on first

I know full well that it doesn't please anyone to see that some of us, through no fault of their own, are lagging behind those lucky enough to have it just made. So maybe we can all agree that while there are big drawbacks with full blown socialism, a little bit of it may be needed. But when we try the old-fashioned socialistic processes of "robbing Peter to pay Paul", there are still 2 major problems; 1. The taxpayer is never happy that he has to pay for the expenses of another. 2. We are never able to go far enough for those in need. Another point I'd like to make before presenting my solution is that opposite to the popular belief that business functions on capitalistic principals only, and "you get exactly what you paid for", there has been socialism in all areas of our lives including among various clients of a business. For example 4chan has clients who read and write for free while another class of clients called advertisers have to pay for all that. And the ripple effect doesn't stop there as everyone is going to try to recoup their costs from another group of individuals so what we are seeing is a constant demand for free stuff from government and from business, and an ongoing hiking of prices because ventures like 4chan are robbing non-clients to please their clients [immoral, criminal and disgusting]. We all go on because deep down we believe there will come a day that we will discover that magic bullet that is going to bring about equality without penalizing success. Well, I am here to tell you that the day we have all been waiting for is finally here. I would have loved to keep it short, and explain everything here, but unfortunately, as you have read in the above, just setting up the fundamentals of, why Neosocialism is a superior way of accomplishing equality, so I decided (as I was typing this) to refer you to Neosocialism's YouTube channel. Please let me know what you think, and if you have technical knowledge and extra time, help me 4 development.

Why don't we just round up all the poor people who make less than $100k a year and put them in camps so they'll stop being such parasites on our economy?

Alright, /biz/.

I want to be a millionaire by 27.
I have roughly $200 invested in BTC/altcoins, which I have been learning how to trade over the past few months.
No other investments.

What's the future of agriculture?

I mean the next fifty to a hundred years, and when I say agriculture, I mean the entire world food supply.

Is there going to be a shift to rice? Historically, dried rice sustained large Asian cities in the days before refrigeration. Unlike potatoes, it can be dehydrated easily for transport and storage, and unlike wheat, it requires no special preparation to be made edible. Refigerators still require energy, and non-perishable food is going to gain traction based on efficiency alone.

GMO can only do so much - energy is energy, minerals are minerals. Some kind of super-staple crop, that somehow improves on rice's nutritional profile, would require extra fertilisation. Magnesium's being depleted in the soil, so this super-crop would require magnesium-laced water. And so on. But why not just sell people magnesium-enriched mineral water and save the time and effort? Same goes for most nutrients.

Of course, all this depends on world population. Will it still expand?

I'm not american so please excuse my english.

I'm a photographer, and a very good one I believe. I spent the last 4 years polishing my craft only to discover that I just forgot to pay attention on how to make money.

Yeah, I know I should find a niche, find clients and just shoot. But that's not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

So initially my plan is to associate with another fellow (very talented photographer) and focus on the advertising niche (where the money really is, but also the competition).

Second, start a blog to give back. I found that most of the blogs about photography here in my country (and pretty much all over the world) are just "5 things you should never say to a client", "3 things that will make your photos a lot better", and that's just BULLSHIT. I fucking hate that shit.

My plan is to start a non-bullshit blog that really teaches about every aspect of the craft in every step of the path (I was an assistant for many years).

So, these are 2 of the pillars. And I believe they complement each other. My portfolio will give some credit to the blog, specially in the beginning, and the blog will bring some attention to my portifolio giving me some more to put on the table when prospecting in some agencies.

Eventually, I plan to have a good base of followers and a nice mail list.

So my plan is to sell to them.

Initially workshops, one-on-ones, maybe some video courses. But in the long run I plan to review some equipments and start to import and sell with some e-commerce structure.

So, this configures the third part of the pillar.

Active work as a photographer, a base of readers/clients for the blog and eventually a store. They all complement nicely each other.

I don't plan to get rich doing this (but you never know), I just want to have some money left so I can invest the shit / seek bigger opportunities.


So, what's wrong with my plan?
I'm seeking some real advice.

ps: in the picture a book that really changed my life.
