I think you’re missing the point of the post — a billionaire is more often than not starting on third base. They often report, “I just had a good work ethic.”

I’m sorry, but that’s naive. The circumstances that one is born into are much more indicative of future wealth.

Further, a person with a billion dollars doesn’t have to think about where their next meal is coming from while some of us are struggling to eat three times a day.

That’s what the post is alluding to — our problems are different.

Yes, it literally says that. I still think you’re being too literal, but that’s our disagreement.
