All of these extremely talented and successful business men had mentors and partners and other people who invested in them and their talents which aided in their success. News flash, no one is "self made" completely without advice, mentoring, financial backing etc. Every single successful person has had someone along the line who believed in them, gave them advice, encouragement and or some type of financial support. Lending institutions dont just give out loans without collateral and or co signers etc. I use the word successful, so we aren't talking about someone like the Kardashians who were born into a wealthy family or someone winning the lottery. Talking about people who worked and developed things from the ground up, still had support somewhere.

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 That's my goal. Not only have enough for a very comfortable retirement, but have money left over so baby girl has a retirement as well. 17 minutes ago, MidMoFo said: I think the "quotations” in the "meme” is to "emphasize” the "self-made”.

The quotes in the meme makes me think it was sour grapes made by some flunkie
April 28, 20224 yr This is no surprise. I have been calling for a recession to start since July of last year, when I saw our industry was on record pace with 28% growth over previous highs. We have been setting records every month since in the US in our industry. Luckily between the fact that we are a lagging indicator of recession, and the backlog of orders, we still have a few months to reap rewards of the past year and a half. Lucky for us, conversely we are a leading indicator of economy bouncing back as well. The next 2 years could be difficult for many. The rate of inflation, causing a mass movement in the work force to find better jobs, (companies have to pay them more, causing yet more inflation) had to lead to a slow down in consumer confidence. (which we saw). and so on. It's all cyclical. You cannot print 7T$ and expect to not have this happen. Yay us.

It was fake news anyway, Tucker Carlson never talked about it on his show and it was a meme someone created. It caught New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, Salon, and Mary Sue creating articles about right wing outrage, but they didn't fact check the story. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/apr/26/viral-image/no-isnt-real-fox-news-chyron-about-snickers/
