What kind of logic is that? What’s stopping you from being rich? Did someone assign who gets rich and who isn’t?
Go make a company, build something the people need, and make money!
Did you see how Jeff Bezos looked like in the 90s? He was begging for investment money to create Amazon, while investors asked “what is internet?”. No one is entitled to anything. You work hard and you might succeed if you do it right.
This is pure bullshit.
- He wasn’t given that on day one. He built the first idea then investors came in.
- He had an idea that works, then convinced investors to pay him. You can do that too. Literally anyone can. Go learn how VCs work.
You have no idea you’re talking about. The only thing you know is failure.
Kind of makes it easier if you can get a 60 million dollar loan from daddy like Trump did.
Or if White Daddy owns an Emerald mine in Black South Africa, taken by force by military from Europe, like was the case for Elron Musk. So how was that fair to all South Africans?
You are completely blind if you think there is an even playing field.
Yes there may be the occasional anecdotes, like Jeff Bezos who weren’t born rich, but for them it requires both insanely hard work and luck.
Anecdotes are not a statistic that proves anything. And the statistics clearly say that if you are rich, chances are overwhelming that you were born into it.
Yet the rich have a sense of entitlement that they somehow deserve to be rich, but not the people who have to work two jobs, and never have a vacation. How do you arrive at that is a fair system?
Yes there may be the occasional anecdotes, like Jeff Bezos who weren’t born rich, but for them it requires both insanely hard work and luck.
Wait… being rich requires hard work and luck? Too bad. No one can do that. So go to bed and keep begging for money.
Anecdotes are not a statistic that proves anything.
And what does? Your own interpretation of your own anecdotes that no one succeeded around you?
And the statistics clearly say that if you are rich, chances are overwhelming that you were born into it.
Having a better chance doesn’t mean others don’t have a chance. Do you even understand statistics?
Too bad. No one can do that.
You don’t have any influence on luck. So yes, nobody can do that, that’s something you may or may not get.
Having a better chance doesn’t mean others don’t have a chance.
I never claimed any such thing, you are arguing a Straw Man.
What’s stopping you from being rich?
Let’s say this is right. Then you should try to explain this: Why are most people not rich?
Did everyone just collectively decide “nah I want to be poor, be stressed and live paycheck to paycheck”? No, of course they don’t. No one does.
Your logic is idiotic because you don’t realize the rich became rich by exploiting other people, namely the working class.
Let’s say this is right. Then you should try to explain this: Why are most people not rich?
Because most people are lazy. This is not only a fact based on anecdote, but it’s a statistical fact even assuming a normal distribution of effort. And while everything I say is up to debate, this fact is absolutely not up for debate. In fact, I don’t waste a single day without learning something new, and I see Every. F-ing. Single. Person… around me not even reading a book and wondering “why do I get paid like shit?”, well, “because you’re replaceable by anyone, dumbass”. Learn a skill that only a small handful can do, and see how the money will fly your way. So, yeah, you guys are lazy. You have no idea how much work success takes on average.
Are they? Or is it because everyone knows their efforts are not compensated properly?
If you want people to not be lazy, pay them. You pay 10 dollars, you get 10 dollars of effort. Blindly labelling this as being lazy is quite a… hear this, a lazy way of thinking. Heh. Millions are studying in university to get a job, I would say that they are working really hard! But are their efforts reciprocated properly?
