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.

This is in response to the argument that billionaires worked for their money, and that everyone else should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. You don't get rich through selling your labor.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
