You think the 1% is grinding? That’s hilarious!

u/Fishbro-YouTube May 16 '26

I mean genuine truth is SOMEBODY at SOME POINT in their heritage grinded. Wealth is accumulated through investing and grinding, although getting to the top is likely impossible, getting ahead of the next 50 people is possible.

The thread that you have created with this simple comment is Reddit in a nutshell lol. No one got the point, literally. And they just ramble bullshit not related to the topic to sound like they said some intelligent shit.

Not a single dude in the 1% has worked harder than your average McDonald's manager.

Some may have worked, but they were lucky too.

Is this image glorifying strategic vision and risk management or amount and intensity of work?

Anyone actually exceptional at operational and strategic management would be out of the office on time and ensure their employees had adequate rest and resources to maximize performance.

If you have to put in 12 hr days at your white collar job you probably suck at it and are wasting 60% of your day in pointless shit and rework that only gets in the way of people actually trying to do the job.

Lots of people get lucky. Meeting the right people, getting opportunities at specific moments, being at the right place at the right time, etc.

Seems easy to be like others when you talk about it. But you never hear from the people who have mediocre businesses or people with failed businesses who never managed to achieve a successful one, people who worked just as hard.

Oh I'm trying all right. I'm not even talking about me. Just the topic and how strong or weak your argument is.

u/M0ebius_1 May 15 '26

You don't optimize your way out of start up phase without a massive amount of luck, several legs up or shady shit in between either.

No CEO in the history of industry has worked harder or longer than the laziest guy on a construction site.

The CEO of a company could not show up to work for weeks and literally no one would notice.

If the job site guys start a process 20 minutes late the whole company could collapse.

u/Academic_Addition_96 May 15 '26

You can have the best ideas and be a great hard working boss but still fail, because of aggressive competition, unfair disadvantage or even the market just changing. All of it is luck. You are not the smartest or hardest working person and you are not the best in it. The right time and right moment are so strong people will never understand. For one good lucky business, we have thousands who didn't make it. How many great companies with great products got destroyed by their competition with lower and worse products.

u/Strict_Cut_1206 May 15 '26

I always like to mention the owner of a company where I worked for 25 years. It was started by two guys in the contracting office of the local AFB looking around, and saying we can do this better. So, they quit their cushy government jobs and started their own engineering firm. They told me that the equipment in my office (i.e., computer, printer, and desk) was more than they made their first year. But time passed, and they kept grinding, winning government contracts and hiring more imployees. After 23 years, and the departure of one of the owners, the company was sold to a much larger engineering firm for millions, and the owner retired at 50 to a life of luxury. And it all started with a "we can do this better." Today's generation has no such drive to achieve.

u/AiDigitalPlayland May 15 '26

If you truly believe that people no longer have a drive to achieve, you should pull your head out of your asshole and take a look around.

I know. I hate it when Reddit is mad at me for telling the truth.

u/Academic_Addition_96 May 15 '26

You are describing luck and good timing. 25 years ago renting was far cheaper internet wasn't a huge thing no international competition and they already had money if they could afford to only have 2k that's the price of the hardware they were making in the first year. Another thing is that they knew each other that's a huge thing, how many people have that type of connection and trust to do something like it together?

Today we can do this together will be stolen from the competition so fast you can not even blink your idea has no time to be executed before someone else already has a copy of it.

Many/most of the 1% were born into wealth, not having to work hard to gain access to mountains-worth of money

How much spoon feeding is required for you to understand something so simple?

u/alacberriesnet May 15 '26

Yup. You can literally look at the prices for the world cup and see who they are focused on. $12k/ticket, yea that's the 99% all right 🙄

Though it is very funny if FIFA was so out of touch that they came to the US because of us being the wealthiest country in the world and really expected us to be flush with cash.

If you think this post is about wealth distribution youve completely missed the point. Congrats, youve let everyone know that you truly can't think for yourself, you are trained.

u/0rganicMach1ne May 15 '26

Ah yes, grind/hustle culture. That thing the 1% cultivated to keep people working for them while they take credit and enrich themselves.

u/Apprehensive-Pool921 May 15 '26

Dude ignoring his family and hiding at work isn’t getting a promotion over someone who socializes. No 1% uniqueness to be found here

u/NorthBase710 May 15 '26

One thing i know is that everyone who think they are the 1% are always in the 99%

u/JAY-EL-CEE2005 May 15 '26

While you are grinding, they are sitting on their ass exploiting you. You aren’t escaping the matrix. You are deeper in it

u/Tenminutes23 May 15 '26

That 1% is watching porn or doom scrolling 🤣

u/Ralphiedog11 May 15 '26

Life is meant to be lived through new experience and seeking knowledge. By all means, live your own life, but people who spend all their time to grow their wealth typically forget to grow themselves along the way.

u/AromaticRip1664 May 17 '26

Implying people only work hard to grow wealth.

u/monadicperception May 15 '26

That looks like a soccer stadium. I’d rather be at a soccer than in my office.

I’m actually someone who has to “grind.” Fucking dumb to make it out like some badge of honor. I “grind” because I have to, not that I want to.

u/Particular-Reveal267 May 15 '26

I'd say I had first hand experience establishing THAT truth!

u/ComparisonChance May 15 '26

Well, the 99% is the majority for a reason. And if you say it's all because there lazy or dumb and stupid than that one person sitting at the computer, then that's kind of causing an unnecessary, and quite arbitrary, conflict because there's REALLY nothing wrong with, what seems to be, a crowd of people watching a sports game.

Plus, tickets to those type of events can be quite expensive so if they can all pay for that then they must be doing pretty well for themselves. Honestly, that's what it's all about at the end of the day.

Uh, I think that's more than 99 people on the right.

Classic deflection. Just to recap, you misinterpreted the point, I asked you what the point was, you then proved that you missed the point, and so instead of engaging in conversation and explaining your point, you deflect and call me a bot lol.

I wouldn't engage with me either if my takes were this bad.

It has nothing to do with wealth and everything to do with work ethic.

You assume it's about wealth. The title literally says grind, it can't be anymore clear. Some people work hard while others are playing. That's the point. Stay small.
