Your proposed solution to the "problem" of capitalism is...?
Um it was on mine... I just had to go hide them all. WTF FACEBOOK.

" 'Never Quit.' What a spectacularly bad piece of advice. I think the advice giver meant to say 'Never quit something with great long-term potential just because you can’t deal with the stress of the moment'. Now that’s good advice."

I'm not sure I like the layout... maybe it'll develop more as people begin using it.
