They do, but I will say from experience, don't underestimate the amount of hard work and money that goes into setting up the infrastructure to make employment possible, productive and financially feasible. The transition from a one man band to a successful empolyer is one that I underestimated massively, and totally failed at

Is it me or do the "self made" seem to be the worst - branson, wetherspoons guy, now ramsey? You'd think having worked their way up from the bottom they'd be more compasionate.

It's an interesting point. I've worked for several 'self made' people/entreprenaurs and one thing many have in common is a sense of 'I did it on my own, nobody gave me a hand when I needed it'. Which is probably true in many cases, and they probably did make it because they're 'ard and bloody-minded ............ for want of a better description. I'm not excusing, by the way, just wondering.

It’s like the “ex-smoker” syndrome. Self made capitalists are for harsher than born capitalists. Although I don’t think branson was self made.

True. But how many large companies do you know with 4/5 of its entire workforce on zero hour contracts?

There are differences, but only of degree, i think.
