HI BELLA WE LIKE YOU LOTS

Fuck off, California

I was offline while on the cargo ship

Oh god

I have a friend in prison and he has the same attitude about staying put. Apparently there are two prisons on the property and the other one is apparently less crowded, quieter, and overall nicer. However, he has opted not to pursue a transfer because he is comfortable with the place he is in terms of social dynamics and familiarity. He’s like prison life can improve only slightly from the place he’s at, but can be much much worse.

This was my first thought. The reason its doing so well is because its a cute idea that has gone somewhat viral. People are sharing it, talking about it, probably Pinning it. But that will die off very quickly and painfully. When I started my business selling custom sunglasses, I hyped it up on social media and grew quite a following while waiting for the products to be manufactured. Then when time came to start selling, people were excited and I was immediately making $400-600 profit a day from a side business. I was super pumped and had pie in the sky expectations. That wore off after a couple of weeks once everyone that was waiting for them bought one.

I still sell a healthy amount, but not enough to sustain the business if I had his profit margins... which he mentioned are tiny, and that he may actually be losing money on the larger calibers. Im working with 800+% profit margins, so it's completely worth the few hours a day I spend filling orders. I feel bad for the impending doom he has yet to see, because I admire the spirit and think the product is actually pretty cool.
