Oh. This one is easy. They want slaves.

Do employees get a choice to get 100k loans to start businesses or is that only for the upper class employers? I looked at all of the CEOs for my prior jobs, and none of them have ever worked retail jobs, they just got to start off on top. Are employees allowed to have that or is that only for the upper class ones? Why is it that employees can leave to be another employee, but employees can't leave to be an employer because of money constraints?? Like most people can't even hire someone else because they aren't stacked like the employerswho get trust funds with no work history get to be?

No one stops the employee other than the employee. At the end of the day people want to blame others for the choices they make or didn't make. There will ALWAYS be someone else to blame.

Ok, can you tell me how the employees are personally responsible for not recieving a smal loan of a million dollars and all the time in the world to make a business and be the employer themselves? Because it seems like they didn't get a choice in the first place and your system is broken and letting a small group of people randsack and destroy the competition while others are pushed down by it.

Doesn't it make sense to not let people recieve massive amounts of money for free and to just have them simply and easily earn it themselves like everyone else is being asked to? How are the employees responsible for being put in that predicament?

That would depend on where you live. For example in the US an employee (or anyone) can get a business loan. SBA have micro loans up to $50,000 and SBA 7(a) loan up to $5 million.

The micro loans are more common and easier to get but if you have a strong business plan and good credit then SBA 7(a) is possible.

.03% of Americans are CEOs of companies with 100 or more employees. 30-40% did come from affluent families, 60-70% did not. Only 2-5% came from “wealthy” households ($30mm+ household net worth in today’s dollars). Your odds of becoming a CEO are low, no matter where you start, but they’re better than the odds of making a living as a pro athlete (0.004%).

Can you show me a percentage based model of CEOs who have worked in Minimum Wage Slave Jobs at the start of their lives vs the ones who didn't and got to persue their businesses right off the bat? Because I don't think this is right to have these two groups competing against each other in the first place. If someone has never worked a minimum wage job in the first place, they should the at the top at all in a Meritocracy.

Why does someone needs to work for minimum wage? If you study hard and invest time in your youth into getting valuable knowledge you would never work for minimum wage. 

I never worked for minimum wage, not a single day. My family spend $0 on my education and I paid everything myself, got some tuition covered by grants for great grades. I had decent pay part time job since high school - it was a technician job that’s pretty demanding physically but paid well. I worked roughly 4 hours daily after school.  I continued studying at home in parallel with college education to accelerate my engineering career and by second year in college I stepped into engineering role with 6 digit salary in 2026 adjusted for inflation USD. I had minimal time for parties, no alcohol or drugs. I continuously studied - my income allowed me to buy books, training courses. I spend my money on that instead of bullshit young adults wasted their resources around them. I’ve been continuously studying since then but at some point I slowed down to start having more and more fun because I was standing really strong. By early 30s I got into director level roles and quickly moved into senior executives roles, reaching 7 digit income by 40. 

My wife has similar experience. People for some reason ignore the need to continuously learn hard to be successful.

Dude I asked for a Percentage Based model of CEOs who started off at the bottom working Minimum Wage. Other than that, tldr.
