April 26, 20224 yr This is actually sad. This is what fear mongering does to some people. If they are at serious risk, they should take prevention seriously, but you cannot do this. You cant threaten people with pepper spray in public because they are not wearing a mask. FFS. Wear three and a face shield if you have to, or a bio suit, but c'mon.

To start with, if any of them were bad at what they set out to do they would not have been billionaires. For certain with every billionaire you can point to luck as being a necessary component to their success, but it's only one of a number of traits needed. For certain Gates was born to a family of means, but the guy was also a very gutsy and talented software engineer. He was given an opportunity, and he made himself a billionaire. That's uncommon. Bezos was most definitely not born rich. His mother was 17 when he was born, was raised by an adoptive father who was a Cuban immigrant. Bezos himself worked at McDonald's at one point. He was also valedictorian, went to Princeton on a scholarship graduating with a 4.2 GPA, and had a successful young career before his parents agreed to empty their savings for him to start Amazon. It was a tremendous risk that worked because Bezos recognized the opportunity and timing with the internet. Buffet's father was a respected congressman, but respected because he was super libertarian and stuck to his principles. He did well enough with his investment company but it was a tiny firm in Omaha before Warren made it cool to be an investor in Nebraska. Warren made his billions through pluck, patience, and fortitude. Elon's father was an engineer. And he owned a few shares in an emerald mine. Elon has also been estranged from his father for 40 years, and his father did nothing to support him. Every billionaire has a "right place right time" element to their path to a billion. But getting to a billion is incredibly difficult regardless. Lots of upper class kids have "right place right time" moments in their life that pass by them, either because they don't recognize it or because they lack the requisite traits to take advantage. Of the above, the most hated - Bezos - is the closest to rags to riches. Born to a teen mom, who split from his biological father to ultimately marry a Cuban immigrant whose name Jeff took, he grew up middle class before earning his way to Princeton.
April 27, 20224 yr Can you post that one where Trump said if he were to run for president, he would run as a Republican because they are dumb next? Or pretty much anything from Occupy Democrats? (They can't even get the name of their meme "company" right )

Pointing to the guy in the second generation and saying he had it easy isn’t fair to the grand scheme of things Whats really sad is when one guy builds a huge business and then the generation after squanders or misuses the funds. Think of the Rockefeller Republicans in the Nixon era
