Now you see how these mothafukkas switch up their story to make it sound like 'rags to riches' -pull yourself up from the bootstraps aka the ultimate American success story:unimpressed:


most of them cac million and billionaires are rich because of their families yet they act like they went from making $19K a year working at some store to rich because of drive and determination

I mean, he’s mostly right. There are certainly some self made millionaires out there, no doubt about it, but a lot of them do well by using monies that were previously allocated for them. Imagine having 200k to invest when you graduate. Or like Trump touting a “small,” million dollar loan that he got in the 70’s. I think it’s more commonplace than we give it credit for.

Venture capital firms in SV give major handouts (millions in capital) and most start ups still fail, no doubt daddy’s money is a leg up, but that doesn’t ensure you’ll create a successful/billion dollar company :manny:


I'm not sure why people don't understand this

Who doesn't understand it? Of course you still have to work when you have the money but the rest are not getting this opportunity, asking ppl to work harder when they have a very slim chance at getting to step one is stupid.

SV is also a white dominated field that has been fighting for diversity for over a decade and still struggling. Worst example you can bring up, lol.
