No bigger welfare state than regular system to be in your favor to begin with. That's why they all lie about their origins and make it seem like they have some bootstrap story when most of them come from some type of wealth. Even worse when people buy into it. Not saying you so lie but if you get a chance to cut a corner take that shyt! You would be shocked how many people would turn it down out of some type of fukking morality that they're buying into.

I will say it does seem like in order to get super rich, you have to lie and cheat, but to say poor people don’t, is crazy. You leave your Hellcat by itself and see if it’s still there the next day. It more depends on the morale compass. However, I do think it’s more likely to find a honest poor person than a rich one. Studies show that often times your CEOs and people in positions of powers are usually sociopaths.
Youre not thinking, sir. When someone cheats and lies their way to the top or whatever it may be, they cant be taken seriously because they dont even believe in themselves enough that they could get what they want honestly with their own merits. Theyre admitted theyre not qualified. Theyre insecure with themselves and dont think they got what it takes so they have to do that. They have nothing to stand on and likely dont know wtf theyre doing. Theres too many examples in history regarding that especially the biggest one which is colonialist. They had to cheat and lie then use the institution of racism which is bullshyt as a means to justify their bullshyt.

Yep not to some outrageous extent. Crying Wolf can be a thing but certain stuff? I've lied about skills on resumes. Hell with a Youtube tutorial a click away these days you could learn the gist of a skill in 24-48 hrs. More than enough time to at the least be able to have a conversation about damn near any subject.People are not going to admire but the people who get further in life cheat and lie

I've known people who've lied about having degrees. Double checking is a phone call away but with some positions they don't even put in the effort to verify shyt. Also a small smile and being confident about what you're saying can get you far. You don't have to show teeth. Just a small smile. We called it an 'Easy Grin' back in the day.

Yall done tore all the bottom of ya shoes w/me!!!
We was raised too up right to easily just go along with some of these things........with the environment you grew up in greatly contributing to what you will and wont do, not what other people were doing necessarily ........even when I was still developing there was just some shyt I wasn't gonna do and even if I chose to, I would be too shamed to take joy in the fruits of it and thats only if the bullshyt bore fruit..........what this sounds like is if anybody is cool with doing things the white way..........no........im not

Yeah and folks wonder why this country is falling apart though. Having people doing jobs they arent trained or knowledgeable on or in positions in companies they dont know how to run. that cheating and lying shyt has unintended consequences.
And honestly, theres a reason behind the process. Folks wondering why theres a lot of stupid people around. You cant get smart or grow authentically by cheating. At some point, someone has to know the process or the steps on how to get to the correct answer vs using chat GPT or some cheating,short cut guide. Some people brains arent for that dumbing down shyt.
