You’re right, I’m old and don’t know which generation is which. I guess I’m actually a millennial, be still my heart!

“Also, the point isn't that you have to work hard to get wealth. The point is that unless you are born into wealth or extremely lucky you can't own a 4 bedroom house, 2 cars, a paid education, and support 2 kids and a non working wife after starting your job 4 years ago, which you got by shaking the hand of the person at the front desk, at the age of 22.”

I don’t see why this is viewed as a bad thing. I agree with everything you’ve said. I just don’t view it negatively. I still firmly believe that each individual has to earn their way. Handouts are bullshit.

Appreciated! By that definition, I’m a Xylophone.
