American Sweethearts quote: “you just sometimes wonder where all the money go?”

the business people are sociopaths

That’s because successful writers don’t automatically assume they are now qualified on any topic that comes to mind and business people do, so they expose themselves with loud, wrong opinions and get offended if you don’t genuflect the way their paid lackeys do.

It's like the IRA thing about thatcher. Businessman just has to get lucky once. Everyone else has to be lucky every time.

Thaaaaat. Or you come away feeling that sales jobs are a blight on society because our leaders come from that group and it’s bad

Simple. Success in business comes from being a bully and a psychopath.

the writer works alone crafting their product

businesses, by definition, are not a solitary venture and much relies upon timing, luck, and many other people, which the "owner" may or may not understand or be willing to acknowledge

The best and most fundamentally decent businesspeople I know don’t want you to know who they are. One common path is to sell a business and use the money to some combination of never work again, be a good family/community member, pursue hobbies, etc.

Absolutely. My day job puts me in contact with a lot of CEOs/CFOs/COOs of companies small and ginormous, & at least half of them couldn't be trusted not to screw up a household grocery budget, much less read anything with any level of comprehension.

Oh I've already escalated on purpose. I'm like Mr. Mybug, walking around asking people if they think business majors have souls. (NOT accountants, they're fine, just the investor-types with questionable job descriptions)
