    The amount of people that evidently don’t know what the “passive” in passive income is supposed to stand for is wild.

    If you have do do something for it, it’s not passive, it’s just a job.

    I told my boss I needed a raise. He said everyone needs a hustle. I told him my hustle is wage work. He advised some people will just sacrifice more. I said my time with my family was more important.

      People that say you need a “huscle” “be a founder” or any other of that instagram entrepeneur type crap need to remember capitalism only works if a large part of the population is happy just doing some quasi menial job that pays just enough to have a somewhat interesting life.

      If everybody is rich, nobody is rich.

        The last sentence only makes sense comparatively. If you assume wealth/richness is having enough resources to thrive, then imho everybody can be rich.

    Ah yes, the old selling yourself for more riches and even more dignity. Go money! /s Now let’s talk basic universal income. That one is a no-brainer that would solve a lot of social ills.

    So in one night, lets call it 8 hours from 6:00 - 2:00, you’re out there approaching women, starting a conversation, leading that conversation naturally to kissing men, negotiating for $100, kissing your homie, then traveling to the next bar… every 24 minutes.

      Once you have practiced this a bit, you might be able to complete the routine in ten minutes. You might be able to get more than 100$ at times, especially from larger groups. Selecting an area with lots of bars visited by hen parties is probably key for this.

    Assuming this kind of wager is more likely in a nightclub with drunk people (that brought party money) then a regular bar.

    Some have entree fees, and the oned that do have more chance to find richer drunk people.

    Gotta pay expensive drinks for you and homie to not stand out and appear massively sus, what you’re doing is relatively mild but people can’t tell your not planning worse, so act normal, casual.

    May take a while to find a good target, depending on the crowd size you only have one shot to smooth talk your way into it.

    In the meantime your spending time, possibly gas finding new locations. Local employees will equally catch on also if you do it too often the same spot.

    In the end gotta split the profits with your partner

    Might be above minimum wage but far from big money. The only reason to get big money is dumb luck where your victim is an actual rich person that does not care.

      If they can afford drinks in an uptown bar, they can scrounge up $100 between them. It’s called wealth redistribution.
