    I've stated multiple times that even if his dad gave him $10m, which there is no indication of, I am still wildly impressed with his history of founding, investing, allocating capital, growing companies, or whatever else you want to call it.

    And is this where everyone lists out everything they've ever had in their life that may have helped them? Because I'll go first since you clowns are so curious.

    Grew up in a tiny ass house in middle of nowhere midwest with my dad as a middle school teacher. Mom stayed home. I'd guess the house maybe cost $15-20k (pure guess). My parents paid for my food and clothes as a kid. Didn't grow up thinking much about money. By middle/high school we were decidedly middle class. I worked during high school and college to make spending money for the year. I've never been given any substantial amount of money from my parents (call it above $500 for holidays/bdays). I'd guess that's not a whole lot different than the average person on this board, but sure tell me how I inherited $5m and my dad gave me money.

    When we don't agree or understand the convo let's just refer to someone as "emotional" or "racist"

    That's what is happening right now.

    Fiat is largely the reason that the shit you and your ilk complain about exists in the first place.

    Rich get ridiculously more rich due to fiat monetary and economic policies that crush lower and middle class who don't own assets.

    Fiat is good...-lyrtch

    And now is when you tell me we just need to tax the wealth that the super rich just gained from the ridiculous policies, which will never happen.

    Its grammatically correct but douchey as fuck and seemingly only applied to these cult of personality Silicon Valley fucks. Don’t think anyone is calling the bagel shop owner down the street a founder.

    That person literally founded a company/business. But you're right, they'd more commonly be called a business owner than a founder. The parlance for someone who starts a large public/private company is "founder" and not "owner." Take up your complaint with, idk, the common language used by everyone to talk about the people we're discussing.

    You and quite a few others itt really should leave the country. Gotta be better options for you out there than just hoping the US all of a sudden isn't a capitalist country.

    If only Lyrtch was in charge of Lyrtchville and could mandate that more founders were teachers and home health aides....ya'll sound like whiny children hoping that Santa Clause is real. It ain't ever gonna happen, and your lives might just improve a bit once you accept that.
