For the most part, that is correct, and it's an ugly truth most americans don't want to face. Americans don't like bad news; usually they'd rather ignore it than face it. So they instead cling to the ever-shrinking proportion of exceptions. Upward mobility in the U.S. is not nearly what most americans tend to think it is, and is significantly worse than that in many other developed nations. It is also worse today than it was for most prior generations--another sign of what I describe as a systemic decline of the nation.

This isn’t based on anything, but IMO the biggest predictors of future success are (ranked)

1. The values your parents instilled in you

2. Your IQ

3. How much money your parents have

4+ (everything else is far below this)


Dumb people tend to end up poor, whether you give them a pile of money or not, they’ll end up blowing it on stupid shit

And I’m bad with money so this isn’t some big judgement

I remember this being a talking point in 2019, how the previous Admin was robbing 401k's.. I guess the complaint turned out to be just another guilt projection by ugly people.

*not as big as #kidsincages but at least this is still being talked about.

ohhhh oh fool me once, benefit of doubt.

That's what they get for investing in companies that invest in companies that make iodine!

Poor people become rich all the time, we just generally don't notice because it's usually some poor immigrant with good parents who value hard work who skyrockets in wealth, which cuts quite hard against the notion that there's no upward mobility in america. The elephant in the room is that immigrants, born into far worse circumstances than the poorest trailer parks in america, often come to america and prosper. The fact that not *all* of them do is hardly an indictment of america with regard to upward mobility.

Please see: that recent video of the starbucks dude sputtering and breaking down and losing all composure because there are.... customers. At starbucks. During his totally standard 8 hour shift. You think he'd be bitching about that if he escaped some other hellhole country before working at starbucks? Not likely.

We're too comfortable and happy and completely ignorant of the attitudes that enabled our predecessors to build the society that we all now gleefully spit on.

TLDR: Bootstraps still work, and are still usually the right answer.
