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?

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.

So basically you don’t want to take the chance because there’s a chance you’ll fail. This is hilarious! No question you’re a failure.

Here’s a life pro tip: If you don’t try, your success chance is 0%. If you do try, its larger than 0%. Simple math.

You guys are really a broken generation! Social media broke you.

I never wrote anything of the kind, you are arguing another straw man.

Yet another straw man, that’s 3 in a row now. Tell me don’t you know what a straw man argument is, since you continue to use them?
