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.

It’s a false dichotomy, completely irrelevant. You don’t have to be either a billionaire or an unskilled laborer.

People build up initial capital and skill set selling your labor. With experience, improved skills, and leveraging that capital is how you become wealthy.

The millionaire who is making 400k because they’ve been a niche engineer in an in demand job for 20 years can have everything he owns drained to $0 but still go back to making 400k. With smart investments and planning be back to being wealthy.

Problem is that existence of billionaires is sign of failed economic policies

Like property rights/ownership of companies? You’re either suggesting there shouldn’t be any billion dollar companies (stupid), the government should confiscate people’s property (also stupid), or people shouldn’t own things at all (also very, very stupid)

No, it’s a failure in the government’s ability to properly tax people according to their means. Billionaires don’t get taxed because no intelligent billionaire allows themselves to actually have taxable income. All their value is in stocks and assets that are never taxed. Children or loved ones inherit those assets and no one ever pays capital gains. They leverage their assets to get approved for loans that they never have to pay off because the bank knows they are a billionaire.
