from 160 - The Ballad of The Fat Girl With The Clean Car · #160

Tim critiques Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for teaching kids that success is about luck rather than hustling, and jokes about Charlie being unqualified to run the factory versus selling it to a corporation.
- Wonka's factory gift to Charlie is bad business advice—a white trash kid with no chocolate industry knowledge should sell the brand to a corporation instead of running it into the ground.
- The movie promotes the false idea that success is about luck when it's really about doing whatever you can get away with.
- Tim's philosophy: if you see someone hit them with a stick and keep going—cheat on your taxes, cheat on your wife, because you live once.
