Clearly, golf is the hardest.

Somebody who needs a picture of slaves picking cotton to remind her of what hard work is has obviously never done any herself.

"This business of conflating hard work with forced labor," he wrote, "not only minimizes the importance of a decent work ethic; it diminishes the unspeakable horror of slavery."

Because white people never worked long hours in fields picking cotton or harvesting other crops barely making a living. /s

Less egregious but equally inane, the actress Rebel Wilson this week launched into a screed against the Kardashians. "Their careers aren't really based on talent," she told an Australian radio station where, I assume, this particularly ancient thought nugget hasn't been masticated into a soup yet. "I'm all about personality and working hard to get where I am," she boasted. "Kim Kardashian got famous from the sex tape, and I just went to acting school and worked really hard."

Rebel pretty much get it right.

I worked 7AM to 11PM yesterday (and many times over the last 3 months including weekends). I wouldn’t say it was “hard” work but starting a new company can take “a lot” of work.

What’s “hard” is hiring employees and even harder is firing them if I make a mistake in the hire.

I have the clients/work to hire 2-3 employees now and many more with a little effort. But getting through all the mostly-governmental BS to hire them is “hard” so I’d rather work many 16 hour days myself and have fewer clients and less income. Plus I can take Friday afternoons off if I start by 7AM (then work Saturday & Sunday)

In other words, being a “job creator” is “hard work” which I’ve done a number of times over 20 years and have had enough of. Democrats don’t believe there’s such a thing as a “job creator” so they don’t understand.

Yet despite attempts to redefine hard work, Americans are too smart for this. Because, much like obscenity, we know it when we see it.

My thought exactly when I saw the headline.

I grew up on a tobacco farm. It goes on from there. I don’t need any pictures.

If you love what you’re doing and get paid for it, it does not count as work. If you don’t like what you’re doing but do it to get paid it’s work. If you hate what you’re doing and come home sore, tired and dirty and pi$$ed off but do it to get paid, it’s hard work.

"I want us to be super careful when we use the language 'hard worker,'

I want YOU to no longer be paid to say crap like that.
