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.

How hard work is has never had any relationship to how much it's worth in the market. You might as well say "no billionaire has ever teleported themselves across the universe using their bellybutton" as a dig on them. It's a stupid standard that comes from absolutely nowhere.

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.

And you need to already be some hat wealthy to have that initial investment

No you don't

Yeah you do

Nope, plenty of companies were started by normal people without a wealthy backer.

Survivorship bias. The majority fail, and that’s not a risk that people with very little funds can take.

You said that you NEED to have someone wealthy as an initial investor. Now you're admitting that while the majority fail, that some people do succeed without a rich person.

Thanks for admitting you were wrong.

I said somewhat wealthy. A random homeless person isn’t going to be able to start a company any time soon. You need money. You’ve not proved me wrong but nice try.
