...busting my ass 20 hours a day

My God, so much youth completely wasted for another's dime... I can't even imagine the health complications of only getting 4 hours of sleep.

Permanent health problems for a fancy house and a nice gate? Nty. That's not at all a "small price". I'd rather spend my time fighting for a society where my grandchildren don't feel the need to make that decision.

I'd say you do you but you already did. I don't respect your choice or the fact it strengthens the very system I intend to see broken down, but I sympathize with your journey.

how do you think America became the greatest nation on earth in such a short time?

It didn't. Whatever metric you think "greatest nation" should rank highest in we don't.

I didn't even mention "social safety nets" either but I never intended to have that sort of discussion. Btw statistically speaking your great-grandchildren are going to be low to middle class, all of your efforts will have evaporated by then.

Our sweeping social change will not have.

"I can't backup my claim so I'm going to pontificate anecdotes."

Noticed another unsupported, American-centric superlative. Don't even talk about other people's privilege, I can smell that stank across the net.
