  • I think making the rich mingle with the normal people more would be beneficial. It’s harder to dehumanize the poor when you’ve met them. Can’t call them lazy or stupid and just not “wanting” it enough when you see them work as hard as you and not getting as far.

    Although, I think the way things are it’ll never happen though. Nepo babies would dodge everything even if something like this were to occur.

    I’m too tired to look it up, but I remember someone saying that resilience or grit was one of the best indicators of success. Someone replied that actually the best indicator of success is if you came from wealth.



  • I think it’s analogous to the joke where you say: “I’d call you a monkey but that’d be an insult to monkeys”

    MLMs are legal and pyramid schemes are not. I don’t know the legal details but I imagine it’s because of the tricky pay scheme and that people are losing money and that the fact that MLMs can’t be called pyramid schemes due to some weird rule is laughable because they seem worse.
