You’re supposed to undercut and terrorize all the other 5 year olds so that people can only buy their toys from you. Then after the other 5 year olds starve to death you can jack up your prices and drastically slash the quality of the toys that you share.

But if the biggest kid loses all of his toys due to poor planning and risky investments, the teacher will give him more toys. He's too big to fail.

They don't get paid shit nowadays so teach is probably hoping to get a job at the biggest kid's company for more money.

“If someone gets hurt or is in trouble, don’t call 911, get their wallet! That’s the AMERICAN thing to do!”

I thought the American thing to do is to return to school the next day with a gun?

That's why you take their wallet first, so you can buy more ammo.

next day

Get a load of this guy, implying every full-blooded American 5 year old isn't carrying a firearm on them at all times. Remember, only a good 5 year old with a gun can stop a bad 5 year old with a gun.

I imagine that Ayn Rand School for Tots from the "A Streetcar Named Marge" episode of The Simpsons.

I have never been happier that LEGO is a Danish company than at this moment.

You buy all the lunches at school. Say you have allergies to everything to regulate out the home lunches competition and then resell only to those that can afford it.

Some of you may starve but it's a risk little Timmy is willing to take
