That's probably because you don't make $80K a year off of dividends alone. The only thing that motivates me to do any actual work is spending a reasonably large amount of money to make me nervous. Otherwise I can live comfortably indefinitely off the income from dividends until the day I die never lifting a finger. The only illogical thing here is that you cannot see how losing money would encourage someone to go and take action.
Frankly, I am getting real tired of justifying myself to all of you clowns who think you know more about my financial well being than I do. So it takes something unpleasant to motivate the lazy person I have become after inheriting a small fortune, why do you care? At least I know what it takes, and actually take action instead of sitting on my *** all day contributing nothing to society.
None of this pertains to the original topic, and you are all making colossal fools of yourselves.
