The big lie about the pay gap

The entire premise behind the lefts cries about inequality regarding the pay gap between the owner, and the worker is false.

The idea that the worker has a right to a percentage of the net profits of their employer is mindboggling.

Did the workers:

Abandon a steady paycheck to start a company?
Sacrifice personal capital and put their skin in the game?
Donate personal time and health to making sure the company succeeds?

When a business is breaking even, and the boss is working 80 hours a week and living in the back room in his office trying to make the company successful, are the employees willing to take a pay cut below minimum wage?

When a business owner fails, will his employees that are not out of a job, pay him/her unemployment?

A person’s labor is determined by their skill level; it’s based on supply and demand. If you are doing a menial task that anyone can do, but you are working for a business that someone created a model that profits large sums of money, your labor is still worth the same as if you were working for a company that is breaking even.

It defies logic that a janitor working for a start-up company should be paid minimum wage and the janitor for Amazon should be making $75 an hour to do the same job.

Just because someone can pay someone a higher salary, does not conclude they are obligated to, nor does it somehow mean that the workers should be entitled to it.

The profitability of a company, or the lack thereof, has no rational economic correlation to what workers should make unless the workers own the business.

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

By Matthew Hayward 9/19/2025 The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning. This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement. Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward 7/13/2025 Let me say this clearly: the National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia—an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Perpich v. DoD rewrote the rules. But legal doesn’t mean constitutional. Gradualism doesn’t legitimize usurpation. You don’t get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What’s happening now—federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent—is blasphemous. It's an insult to the very spirit of the Constitution. The ...

Reality Is Rigged and You Can Hack It

By Matthew Hayward 7/29/2025 Manifesting Reality: How the Matrix, Quantum Entanglement, and Consciousness Intertwine Look, science fiction and science fact have been flirting for decades. But lately, the line between the two is starting to disappear. The idea that we’re living in a simulated reality isn’t just a late-night stoner theory anymore. It’s a framework, a lens to view those weird, unexplained moments that leave you thinking, "What the hell just happened?" Quantum entanglement, synchronicity, manifestation… they all start to make a lot more sense when you stop pretending reality is some rigid, mechanical machine. It’s not. It’s code. And if you’re paying attention, you might just figure out how to rewrite it. NPCs vs Manifestors: Who’s Really Running Things? Picture the world like a massive open-world video game. Some people are just running the default programming. They go to work, follow the script, consume what they’re told, and never ask questions. NPCs. Then the...
