Why is it easy to make money in the USA?

Real-life example? A 19-year-old in Miami dropshipping neon pool floats from Alibaba to TikTok teens. Zero overhead, pure markup, and Uncle Sam only takes 15% if you call it a "small business." To be honest, America’s "ease" of making money is just a pyramid scheme where the top 1% profit from the 99%’s FOMO.

Take the gig economy: Uber and DoorDash turned "side hustles" into a dystopian grind where you can "earn" $15/hour before gas and taxes. A friend in Austin quit his teaching job to drive for Lyft, only to realize he made more money selling course about driving for Lyft on TikTok. I find it hilarious how the American Dream now means monetizing your burnout.

Funny how "land of opportunity" really means "land of opportunists." When’s the last time a Walmart cashier retired early?

In my opinion, America’s wealth engine runs on three things: cheap debt, a cult of entrepreneurship, and a regulatory sandbox for tech bros. Want a loan to start a taco truck? Here’s $50K at 6% APR. Want to exploit gig workers while scaling a "disruptive" app? The SEC will high-five you. From my experience in tech, the U.S. is like a casino where the house always wins—unless you’re the house.

But I should warn you: For every Musk, there are 10,000 bankrupt food trucks. The "easy" money? It’s a rigged game—unless you’re born rich, connected, or willing to meme-stock your life savings into crypto.

The U.S. makes it "easy" to make money because it’s a capitalist gladiator arena with unlimited credit, deregulated hustle culture, and a fetish for rewarding narcissists—but only if you’re born on third base or willing to sell your soul to Silicon Valley.

Here’s the kicker: The U.S. rewards scale, not smarts. Dropout Zuckerberg gets billions for stealing a "hot or not" idea, while a genius fixing HVAC systems in Ohio barely cracks $60K. I must admit, the real money isn’t in working—it’s in owning. Buy a rental property in a tax-break haven like Texas, leverage Airbnb’s algorithm, and watch renters fund your Porsche.
