    It’s different kind of risk when failure means you may not eat or become homeless.

    The rich do not incur that kind of risk when they engage in “entrepreneurial-ship”

        They were given bootstraps to pull themselves up by, so everyone else should be able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps too!

          My parents were immigrants themselves and I immigrated again to a different country in my 20s. I arrived with a backpack of clothes, an old laptop and money to pay a shared apartment for a few months.

          Racism: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

          When a system oppresses you, no bootstraps to be had.

          That’s just another white supremacy myth meant to make it look like some people just don’t try hard enough.

          That will explain it. If you cared to do your own research instead of regurgitating the crap that’s been spoonfed to you your whole life.
