It's worked everywhere else.
It's just like my boss. I'm the one wearing work boots and doing the actual work, but he gets all the money. All that dumbfuck does is use a computer to design building plans that he KNOWS before he even starts the project is going to make him money because the computer figures it all out for him. The hardest "work" he does is waiting in line at the bank to get money to pay for the materials and permits (he doesn't even call on the permits himself), which he won't even do until the computer tells him he can make money.
Once I get my damned court fees paid off, I'm getting a savings account with my girlfriend so I can order people around while THEY do all the actual labor. We're supposed to get some big ass office building complex off of 21....I'd love to see his face when he sees me ordering people around. I'm going to laugh in his face and say "hey, the computer said it would make me lots of money."
