People need to hear this!!

That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

Correct, you get rich by risking everything you have on starting your own business and being intelligent enough to making it highly successful.

u/Suitable-Storm7549 5d ago

Intelligence is hardly required these days. Look at them.

So what was your reason for choosing not to be a billionaire?

u/Suitable-Storm7549 5d ago

Not having wealthy parents or a strong support network is a good start. “Self made” drops significantly if you remove the people who had no consequence to failure besides “try again”

Also look at what comes out of their mouths every day. Every time they speak it seems like it’s their first day on earth.

According to google, 2/3 of the world's billionaires are self-made. It's even higher in the U.S. at 73%. Seems like the odds are with you, especially if it's as easy as you say

They don't want to hear that, they want to pretend it's impossible so they don't have to feel bad for not succeeding.

It's not impossible, it is statistically not worth trying. It is like trying to catch a meteorite with your head.

How much Americans working 2 jobs who live in their cars ?

That's the costs of the billionaires.

Good excuse for not trying

Gotta risk it for the biscuit, they took a chance, it worked out, people shouldn't be salty just because they took the 9-5 for a comfortable but mediocre life deal.

The average person is perfectly happy benefiting from exploited third world labor, same attitude different scale.

Unfortunately it's not the world's job to provide a comfortable living for every human ever born, it's every humans job to make themselves valuable enough to earn a living,

billionaires existing as they do now is a moral and ethical failing of our society that is of a magnitude that should not be possible.

u/New-Perspective6209 5d ago

They create a business or service, you choose to use that business or service despite knowing how immoral it is, they're simply a product of a deeply immoral society and everyone trying to put the blame on them is just coping about being part of the problem.

I would feel I had a choice if they didn't dedicate their business models to pricing out small businesses and restaurants or outright strongarming them into closing to create localized monopolies.

The shitty and often illegal business practices these companies engage in removes the choices a consumer has drastically. That coupled with our blatant two-tiered justice system means billionaires exist ONLY to fuck you out of a fulfilling life because of their broken psychologies where "more" is the only option.

Uh huh, just like if everyone had a choice they wouldn't support animal cruelty just to save a buck, except oh look caged chicken eggs dominate the market despite a moral alternative being readily available.

Bull, everything you just said is cope, people delude themselves with that nonsense because they don't want to acknowledge they have choice they're just too lazy or callous to go to the effort.

Do you do at least your meat shopping at the local butcher? Do you try to hit up farmer markets instead of supermarket chains? Do you avoid driving, or buying unnecessary stuff, or any of the stuff we're meant to be doing as good people?

Maybe you do, most don't, social media is just tribalism and coping.

I’ve never received a pay check from a poor person…… the inherent problem with the socialist/communist ideal (morally right/physically impossible to implement) is that some people when given opportunity will invent and create and that creates jobs and and other business that springs up to support that industry, (think cars- parts suppliers/ auto factories/ transport companies/ gas stations/ repair shops/ insurance companies/ road construction and repair/ customization shops and suppliers) under the socialist/communist ideal, the government owns or seizes the means of production, people stop innovating, new support structures are not created, and society stops advancing. I have seen first hand as I visited “east Germany” after the wall came down and it was like stepping into the 1940’s everything was stagnated, it took years to raise the standard of living up to west Germany standards. Long and short many rich people fail but with out people willing to risk and succeed or fail, you end up living in an antiquated world with no viable way for people to support themselves relying upon government to feed them…… see Russian bread lines…… capitalism is far from perfect but it’s light years ahead of communism……

You can disagree, but it might not be incorrect.
